my feet are made for walking

New Boots - what joy. Caterpillar biker boots to be recommended, I haven't even got sore feet although I haven't really walked any where yet. Will road test shortly !

a pile of oranges

My new years resolutions have NOT being going well:
I have a pile of oranges (what is the collective name for oranges ??) waiting to be made into marmalade before they rot.
It is a non-stop nagathon to try & get K&F to behave & stop fighting, so I am not being very nice to them.
Top client is going to call it a day......can't afford to keep paying me, aghhhhh.
Web site not finished so have not yet contacted agents to try & sell cards.
Done one pr mailshot need to do more.
Excersise programme not great, interrupted by one week of chicken pox & about to be disrupted by another as flicks came out in spots today.
Healthy eating hopeless....had to finish the xmas chocolate ( I have been rationing myself to small daily dose rather than eating it all in one go which does show some self restraint, I think) and made scones with kitters this afternoon, of course, that was education & children's entertainment rolled into one.
Did manage to pursuade Tim to fix lamp I got for xmas LAST year & now it works, a triumph !
Keep being distracted by Sunday papers (it does take me ALL week to read them - I really don't know how people have the time to read a paper every day, well probably less telly & a later bed time & maybe getting up even earlier) rather than cleaning my filthy house or bringing in logs or going for a walk.
Infact, I think reading the papers is bad for me as everytime I open a paper, I seem to end up reading about the horrendous possibility of devolution which would make Alex Salmond even more smug than he actually is. I already have an overwhelming desire to punch him whenever I see him speak.....so it is clearly having a negative effect on my otherwise calm & rational & easy going nature.
EEEEEEnough.

social media.....urghh

I AM getting it sorted out....what a performance or am I just technically very inept. I want to do everything with just one click which must be possible, it nearly is although it seems that linked-in is the fly in the ointment.

it would be good if I could post to......

Can I post to facebook, twitter, blog & linked in all at once ????
....testing

Trademen - where are they ?

we have had 3 different estimates for local builders to fix our roof & arranged for each one to start work beginning in Sept 2011.......we are still waiting for someone to turn up or even phone to say they can't make it !

2 x estimates for local electricians to come & fix our outside lights.....still waiting.

2 x estimates to get chimney sorted.....one no show & one came on the wrong day & still hasn't been back.

I wonder whether we will ever be able to get this work done before the house falls down ???

Kurt Geiger - Help me !

The KG Salem boots size 5 in gunmetal have disappeared from your web site just as I was about to buy them. Have you got any more ?????

pr for architects

Yes architects - you really should do it all. press, events, web marketing, social media, publications, research, exhibitions and star in TV shows !

Poxy Parties ?

I had heard mutterings of chicken pox parties but NOT here everyone giving us very wide berth indeed ! up to my armpits in calamine lotion & administering piriton......second time round although 1st time did seem a little too easy.

I am totally distracted & annoyed that the KG Salem metallic boots I had been eyeing up for ages have vanished, urghhhhhhhh
