    ODAT - Friday

    Evening - just checking it to see is doing ODAT today!

    I do like seeing what people are up to and I think the idea of a work party at mine sounds great Beck! It can be pretty hard work sometimes chugging through it on me own! Only managed to move the chickens today but got cakes made for the holiday cottages welcome trays. Then did some work for the horse show that I am sponsorship secretary for. Did some work in the garden too (it is in SERIOUS need of work - my veg patch is just weeds!).

    I do also have a sort of Pay As You Go secretarial/PA business - just me - and I keep the clients down to the absolute minimum cos I haven't got time for them :H:H Now got to do all the ironing for tomorrow's holiday cottage changeover and make sure there are enough clean towels, soap, toilet rolls blah bah. Tomorrow is the changeover day - pretty much flat out from 10 - 4/5 then Sunday I am running a dressage competition. Roped in some friends to help and will have to make a load of food for that tomorrow night as we are away from the main show (and food stands) and I need to keep their energy and spirits up. Monday will be just another day though it is a bank holiday here. Lots of work. The worst one is the VAT reclaim for the work on the holiday let. It is a nightmare of a paperwork job and has to be submitted in GREAT detail in about 8 weeks time. They even want to know how many litres of paint and how many bricks we used FFS!! I get up at 5.30am and, after I've been on here, I spend an hour or so on it before getting on with the animals. It's truly pants. I hate it. Enough to turn you to drink (that's why I do it in the morning!!! Then I only fancy tea!)

    Anyone wanna swap?? :H:H Any UK VAT experts out there??! PM me before I crack!

    I'm booking my tickets to Finally RN's to get her sorted. Sounds like a holiday. And who is this marvellous Steve who can be put in a room when needed?!!

    Cowgal - glad you sound more positive. I really hope things pick up with him indoors.

    Croft - I think you did brilliantly with the April project. I can understand why you're relieved to be back to ODAT though! A month is a tall order.

    :l specially to Greeny but for everyone else too.

    On with the ironing. Bottle of white AF chilling in case I feel the need but so far only tea will do.

    Have wonderful weekends. Same place, same sort of time tomorrow!

      Bessie,

      I've actually stayed in holiday lets in England - always a great time. I don't know what your cash flow is like - but have you considered hiring someone to help on changeover day? Just think - pay someone just a bit and the ironing gets off your plate...Comes a time when you can't do everything yourself and still take care of Bessie.

      I've got tent and passport...

      Take care,
      Beck

        ODAT - Friday

        So quick jumping in with my ODATers - I really have to hit the shower and get dressed for tonight's event.

        Hello to everyone and I'm glad to see everyone in good spirits on this friday!

        I've had stuff to do (much to my husband's dismay) seemingly every day and night - and it continues for at least a few more days. Too busy to drink! And too anxious to enjoy the great night's sleep that is almost guaranteed these days.

        So happy weekend to you all - and I hope to be back to lend a supporting arm on Monday!

          Happy fabulous FRIDAY!

          Been knocked flat by the flu but looking on the bright side, I got to spend a day in bed and the thought of having a drink is repulsive. So, I'd like to wave goodbye to the flu but hang onto the AL aversion.

          Had time to reflect on why I was hesitating to join May Abstinence. 15/21 days have been AF and all but 2 were successful mod days. Really, I need to commit to this so here goes...but I think I will take it ODAT.
