Cheery's path to fulfilment - finishing the DIY, looking after myself, appreciating the garden 🌻

Sympathies on the sore finger. And I hear you on the 'use it for absolutely everything' thing - somehow I cut the pad of my right thumb on Saturday, in the garden I think, but no idea how as my gloves are undamaged … 🤷🏻‍♀️ and yes, I am right handed and my thumb pad gets used a lot! 🙄🤣

Sending vibes for the writing and BICHOK discipline! 😉

BICHOK - bum in chair, head on knees?? 😬😂

Bum is in chair, I am kicking myself, of course, for not having finished earlier, and despairing, but can't really do anything other than just get on with it at this point!

HOK - Hands on Keyboard! 😉

Don't be so hard on yourself. You've had a lot of demand on your time from various directions in recent weeks. At least you have the time now to focus and GET IT DONE! We believe in you 😊

Ha, of course! 😂😂

I am getting there 😊 will be working kate tonight and submitting in the morning, but it will be done, and it's decent and I hope responds well to their feedback. We do get another chance to respond to feedback before the final decision is made, so not the end of the world.

Definitely going to be having a celebratory piece of cake once it's in tomorrow 😂

I only have one meeting tomorrow (that I can't shift) and about an hour's worth of prep, but once that's done I'll be closing down the computer and heading to a cafe 😊

I hope Kate gets a decent wage 😉

Enjoy coffee & cake tomorrow.

😂😂😂 Wish I had a kate to write it for me! 😂😂😂

Morning chums 😊

In the absence of a friendly pal to write the darn thing for me, I carried on until 11.20pm, at which point I discovered that editing the responsibilities of someone on the system meant they had to log back in and confirm themselves 😭 good job i didn't do it for anyone else! I emailed, and have texted this morning already, so hopefully they're around and able to do it before the deadline 😬

But other than that, I am very close now. Everything that needs entering into the online system itself is already done, and within the relevant word counts. Just need a couple of adjustments to attachments and a final idiot check and then I'll be submitting, as soon as colleague has done her bit. Fibgers crossed 😬

Fingers crossed indeed

I'm a big fan of Douglas Adams' approach "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by."

My boss is less of a fan…
