Watty's Awakening

daisy_1571 said:Should I have helped in any small way, you are more than welcome xxxx
I feel genuine gratitude to have had so many cheerleaders along the way. I called this diary Watty's Awakening and I just think that might have been an example of manifesting just what has happened.
Cancelled a riding lesson with Most Handsome today. Work is really super busy but I now have a plan in place. I've asked my PA to write a job spec for a part time office based assistant. If my PA were nearer I would offer her more work in a heartbeat but I need someone office based to pack orders and so on. This will mean I can (a) free up time to grow the business or (b) use the free time to spend with my horses. I'm looking to employ someone local a few hours each day. I'm flexible on hours. The only real criteria is they are likeable on the phone, have keyboard skills and can cope with WattyDog and Feral Kitten. I feel WattyDog is going to have to be in on the interview process given his size and general enthusiasm for everything as we need someone who will be able to cope with him!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!11 -
Love the idea of Watty Dog being involved in the selection process 🤩❤️ I suspect that he will have strong views on the matter! 😉
It’s also lovely to see that you are getting use enough to actually need this help - well done 😊👏
Your comment about your diary title leading to a manifesting of a new self is making me wonder about renaming my thread to something a little less limited … 🤔

Please don't apologise Flowerpot. I knew you would get to it when you could and guessed something had come up. I've been meaning to message you but things have been a little frantic around here too.
I do hope you are feeling better now ...sending love.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

sounds like a perfect job opportunity for so many people who struggle to find work to fit in with school hours - start at your local primary school gates and see who wattydog sniffs out for you ? Or the next primary school over if you don't want someone who lives too close. (Always remembering to check addresses in case new employee lives too close to any one from past life)

I feel WattyDog's questions may centre around attitudes to sticks and balls and how am I to stop him questioning anyone on pigeons? he hates them in the air above the garden or on the cables. I'm concerned he may be politically incorrect on this pigeons.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
