    Oh Bob, you can't please everyone and if things are out of your control, that's just the way it is.

    I'm so pleased you've managed to find the good in the day though - a lovely way to look at things :)

    Thanks Kirsty. You are steaming ahead of me on the repayments now. Scooched onto 62% yesterday, I fear the tide might be out still by December (theres always the lottery):D

    Have just sat since 11.30 updating my leads and business excel. I am a bit spoddy about keeping things up to date. I think its because I live in fear of a double booking. Have had another diary clash this morning and had to go back to the first party (not yet a confirmed booking) and tell them.

    Very tired. I just dont seem to ever go to bed till 11.30 these days, usually 12 before I close my eyes and DD is awake a lot still in the night. Mornings start at 6....powering through on coffee and donuts today :)

    You are doing brilliantly. You did not intentionally upset those people did you? Some people seem to enjoy being upset, they seek it out and project 'fault' on to others, it will not matter what you say, they need to first get over themselves and then get over it.

    "Not my monkeys, not my circus" sums it up sometimes. And you don't have anyone break in to a 'Frozen' number at you.

    And it is nearly October (yay) crunchy leaves, welly boots, soup, fireworks, bonfires, halloween and ALL... THAT... JAZZ!

    Have had a stuff it day today and decided to do nothing work related. Didn't have any meetings so why not.

    Me and DD went to Costa lots. Then into Pets at Home and TRU. She managed to walk all the way round bless her. Then slept for 2 hours! Totally tired her out. I did a huge tidy at home. And have put 2 declutter missions together for OH :) his enormous collection of old shoes. He doesn't need them ALL for the garden. And a big pile of man crap that has accumulated and needs a home.

    Just done lunch and now getting ready to run out the door.

    Back later

    Bob

    Ugh school run from hell. 4 buses went by already full up for buggies. Managed to get there only 5 mins late in the end. Then the same thing happened on the way home! Thankfully it was good weather and the children both behaved.

    Have two viewings tommorow. And have so far heard from 1 location agency of the 6.

    Feeling decidedly MEH today. Night was uneventful. But my get up and go has got up and gone.

    I feel the year is running away now. And as it is a cold and grey morning and I have meetings 45 mins walk away and then there is no point coming home before the school run will be out in the wind all day. Don't get me wrong I'm so proud of us for not buying another car when our new to us car went wrong after only 6 months back in August 2015. But some days when I'm tired and fed up another day on the hoof is very unappealing.

    Gad shoot me now what a depressing burst of writing this morning. I promise to give myself a shake and get a life. I
