A whole new world, for now

Silver grout sounds nice. I saw gold grout on black tiles too.

Silver grout! I can imagine that looks stunning and totally lifts the whole effect.

I hope all went well at work.

Yesterday was a long, long day. I got home around ten. Today I need to finish off a submission which has a deadline. A potential supplier was to provide input but may have let me down. This is not good. Fingers crossed I can dig up someone to get me out of a hole!
Trustees met last night and they have a plan of action. The best bit is that it doesn’t really involve me. There’s a wee bit of groundwork to be done but I then stand back.

I’m not sure if there was any progress on the kitchen yesterday but it’s nearly where it needs to be. Things are going back this weekend.

Today I am grateful for
Being able to help out a friend
A long overdue catch up with another friend

Glad you've made some progress

I have to break it to you that fingers of fudge and Percy Pigs are indeed widely available in England!

Am so pleased that the kitchen nightmare (does that sound too much like a TV programme?) is nearly at an end, and that work has found a solution that doesn't involve you overmuch. How are you coping with all those staff absences?

Hi inod - I've finally caught up with your diary! I'm sorry you have had some low times over the past month, but you're coming across more positive now in your recent posts.


Nice to read that things are starting to happen in a good way with 'that' client and your house is coming together.


The tiles sound lovely!

Certainly Percy pigs here!

Percy pigs and fingers of fudge sent by your Mum taste different. They are special Mum related items.

So glad you like the tiles! I hate having things done and then not liking them (kitchen tap in my case), every time you look in that direction part of you goes Ugh.

I’m earning less than I did ten years ago, have no pension provision, am tired and less able to take time out from the clients. I finished up a job at after nine last night and have an 8.30 call to make today. There has to be more to life than this.

I must confess that this is my experience of self employment. You work harder for less money and more stress .

I like what Beanie said about what baby steps can you take about the things that are bothering you.

I'm glad you got the tiles sorted and that that manager is going to be sorted too (I hope).
