I am sunk.  Came in really early this morning to get on top of things and have failed.   I have more email in my mail box now than I did at 7am this morning and I have just remembered I promised my manger I would do something today, without fail, I have not done it.

Next week I am only in two days so cannot see things getting any better.  Feel a bit of 'unpaid' weekend working coming on.

Sort of think I know why I did not get it all done but not sure I can do anything about it, it is almost the nature of the job to be pulled in every direction and get dumped on.  Oh well, home via M&S I think.

Nice bottle of wine is waiting... and the cooking!

Lunch was fab and worth working late for!   We went to a place close to work and had very tasty home made burger and chips.  No pudding, I would say I very self controlled but more like my friend asked for the bill!

We sat in the window chatting and watching the world go by.  There were two girls next to us who I found myself constantly looking at.  On of them must have had very bad eye sight and kept using a magnifying glass, on a chain round her neck, to look at her mobile phone.  The other was maybe her PA and typing email etc for her.  Just seemed very odd doing all this in a restaurant.  I really could not help myself and just kept looking.  How bad is that!  

Anyway back to work!

Back to work today and I have a pile of email to do and lots of other stuff.  Not good!  I have agreed to go out to lunch and now seeing all the work I have to do, I regret it.  I guess it will be good to get away but bet it means I end up being here late.  Am trying to get on with everything but not really sure where to start.  I dislike days like this but more and more all days I work are like this!

Last night both myself and the husband did some time on the Wii.  He is a bit fed up because the stupid thing keeps telling him that he has put weight on when he is trying to take it off.  He did tell me that he had cake at work and I also gave him a few extra bits so he did eat a bit and we went out a few times last week.  He likes to eat and hates being hungry so is not really willing to eat less, I think this is the main reason why his weight is not coming off.  I will just carry on trying to help him and hope that we get there in the end.

Puss is doing well; she is loving being able to go out but not enjoying the cold.  She has a big bald patch on her side where she had her operation and think she feels the cold there.  She is more keen than normal to come back in but she has a little house in the porch if she gets desperate.  We are back to the vets on Monday to have the stitches out.
