Running Around Like A...

I am so manic this week. We've only been home for a few days, and we're off again on Saturday.

The parents of my brother's wife have very kindly let us all use their timeshare apartment in Guernsey this year to take my Mom away as she hasn't had a holiday in years.

I also have my in-laws to stay again as they have a friend's wedding to attend tomorrow in London. They will be here with their usual mayhem this evening until Sunday.

Meanwhile we have the moving house issues to plan for, which included such gems as negotiating badly, panicking about money, and executing ninja DIY skills to get our current place ready for rental.

On top of all this, I have decided to turn over a new leaf in terms of organising my working time. On Monday I learned how to use Microsoft Project, and I fear life will never be the same again. I have timetables, schedules, milestones and deadlines - in other words, discipline - and all of it self-imposed. What was I thinking?

Good luck with it :/. I spent an hour yesterday evening trying to convince my other half that one of those wall planner thingies where you put the different coloured T-shaped cards in to the little slots to indicate whether or not you have a job on that day would be a good investment. He hasn't really gone for it ... :(.

Hey, don't you go using dirty words, such as ... discipline - think of the kids!

Cheers

Can't self-imposed discipline be cast aside like dirty laundry? I don't seem to have a problem with it!
