I did laugh at that book - and also confused as to why it’s in the school library 

what was the Dale Carnegie coach session like - a work related or personal thing ? 

Your DIY sounds like a long slog - living in a less is never fun - but sounds fabulous to enjoy for Xmas

That’s the sort of thing my oh does. Someone I know used to say it was  Picnic (problem in chair not in computer)

Someone taught me that one recently 😉

The DC session was a work thing for a Women in Leadership training thing the organisation is doing. It was quite fierce competition to get onto it and I’m not sure I’m making the most of it due to lack of time, but the 360 was interesting. I was shocked and quite telling to me that I got distressed when I was talking to the coach about my feedback and talking about how impossible the job has been for the last two years. It made me realise how little I trust my line manager - not in an ethical or strategic sense, but with my soul, iyswim. I have been genuinely somewhat traumatised by it - I don’t think that is an overstatement, 

Yes, this DIY project has been a very long slog - Mr KK found an initial photo he sent to the building inspector when he first started ripping up the lounge floor to start the new hearth …. 15th June! No wonder we are both so tired and the house is such a pigsty! Even Mr KK is saying it’s minging - he’s normally oblivious! 😂😂😂 We are now starting to struggle to find things, which is annoying. We were both excited this evening that we found Mr KK’s recipe folder so he could make chicken fricasse for himself this weekend 😉😊 However, the brush attachment for the Henry has completely vaporised! 😉

I have cancelled my lunch with my friend tomorrow. I have to be in too many places at once tomorrow and wouldn’t be able to relax and we are both shattered. We are going to rearrange for next weekend 😊

Rough plan for tomorrow:
- low carb, high protein breakfast 
- head in one direction to collect prescriptions 
- head significantly further in diametrically opposite direction to look in posh reclamation place for possible paint for wall behind fireplace. (I can ‘see’ the colour in my mind’s eye but can’t seem to buy it!) If that is unsuccessful, head out still further to weird cheapo but useful DIY shop on outskirts of town and try there, time permitting. 
- 10.30am sharp, head down to fundraiser at the chapel in the village (main social hub though I don’t attend) - buy cakes, catch up with PCouncillor who persuaded me to join to discuss the possible new clerk and how to support / encourage him
- 11am get back home for Tescos delivery - wrangle groceries 
- lunch
- possibly go and collect a bookcase Mr KK has found that might go nicely under the second new window…. 
- review English coachee’s homework and read first 50 pages of his new book
- English coaching session
- Chinese takeaway 

In midst of all of the above, financial updates, washing, drying and keeping Mr KK well hydrated.

Plan Sunday ….

Surprisingly productive morning 😊
- Got my prescriptions
- found possible paint colours
- attended chapel coffee morning / fund raiser (just found out by WhatsApp call that I won first prize on the raffle! 😂)
- wrangled groceries delivery
-  bagged up and froze Mr KK’s fresh sausages that have been lurking in the bottom of the fridge since Thursday 🙄
- put some radish in water to refresh
- sliced sourdough loaf to go in freezer and become resistant starch
and am about to settle down and read 50 pages on my English coachee’s second choice of book ….

Fingers crossed this second choice book is a bit more  suitable than the first!

Hope the raffle prize is a good one.
