Got up late, as usual.

Checked and dealt with emails.

Rode motorcycle to Barnes to see some lying client.

Rode back via Sainsbury's shopping and visit to Post office, both in Clapham because motorcycle park round the corner made it convenient to do so there.

Thought, "All that money doing out the post office in Clapham and the queue's still out the door."

Rode home, did heaps of paperwork while half watching Gosford Park and dealing with post.

Thought, "God it's great being self-employed."


Thought.

Thinking.

Pressing "Post Message".

Ooooh I had a wonderful day!

Woke up and tidied house.

Made porridge with strawberries and mixed seeds - lots of brownie points as my breakfast for the last three weeks has been a pain au chocolat in Victoria Station

Had a fantastic chat with someone which really sorted some big issues out in my head

Finally stopped procrastinating and did half of my course homework (god I feel like I'm at school again).


Giving myself a big gold star today!

Finished of a wedding book layout.

Met with my printer to review a job.

Bravely picked up the phone and made an appointment with the dentist.

Cycled to RAK studios in St.Johns Wood to see a client (and back).

Hung two pictures in the living room that I'd been meaning to do for ages.

Decided to go and see a friend in Fordcombe, Kent. Bought organic cocoa and honey to drink after planned walk there. Seethed when the train to E Croydon had to return due to some signalling problem. Got refund (the man was there). Went to Dulwich Library and got travelogues out instead.

Rang council over dog dirt signs and tree planting. Rang Coop over its increasingly crappy shop in FHR. Watched Sebastiane then Victoria Wood. (Sublime to ridiculous actually fits, here.)

Cleaned sink with bicarb of soda. Checked on wormery worms (more of them, less paper.) Spent too much time in between in EDF!

Well done Annaj, have you got a photo to show us?

Took an early 7.15 8.0am constitutional walk with an ex business partner in Dulwich park. Discovered that my shelving system had pulled out four plugs and screws and was leaninig out 6 inches from the wall, then decanted all the lever arch files on to the floor. Took car to the wash and felt better afterwards. Asda to buy basics not crowded goody goody. Lady friend arrived I signed her reference form went to bed had an orgasm she had two I bathed her then got in after she vacated it, dropped her off at the station. Now off to swim at Pulse having forummed for an hour.

Yep this was what I consider to be a smug Friday!;-)

Hmmmmmm got up up admired the beautiful sunny day & remembered to take it easy as still on Penicyllin for viral infection...


Sent email to the Mrs in Oz

Put some washing on

Juiced 3 carrots & 3 oranges with a knobble of ginger & then drank it slowly

Brief MSN with the Mrs before her system crashed.... leaving me waiting

Uncluttered my bedroom window sill & dusted, demoulded & spayed with "No More Spiders" spray

Dusted lampshade then hoovered it for a 2nd opinion

Found the floor in my bedroom ~ Hurrah !!!

MSN back & running & had words with the Mrs

Sooooooooooooo back to tidying/hoovering/taking it easy NOT before returning to work on Tues

Went to the Brick lane market at 7.0am bought a hot chocolate and ate a buttered bagel. Bought fruits and meat and a can of pledge, the cleaner said she couldn't wring anymore from the original.

    • I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.  
    • There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.
    • Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.  
    • I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
