Day 22

A frustrating day at work, and a busy evening, at least initially. In amongst it all, some positives:

• I've mentioned this a few times, but it's that time of year - there was a lovely wintery sunrise as I drove to work today.
• I've written and scheduled posts for my main blog for tomorrow and the next day - it's nice to be ahead!
• I had an errand which meant visiting a former colleague - cue a catch up and a bit of a natter - which ate up my lunchtime and held her back from work!

Anyway, all this blogging is holding me back from sleep - early start tomorrow too - joy!

Day 21 - 3 weeks!

So, another weekend comes to an end and after 4 days off, it's back to work tomorrow! Joy! But enough of that, I'm feeling positive!

• Managed to get Christmas cards today and therefore feel organised...
• Had lovely time this evening with guests round for part 2 X Factor Final
• Am now getting to the climax of my book, which is fantastic!

Day 20

I can barely believe I've reached 20 days of this blog but here we are.

Today was spent looking at various catteries for my housemate's puddys to go to over Christmas. Here's the three positives:

• Had neighbours round for lovely evening of X-Factor and Wii.
• Although busy with other stuff, still managed to make progress with book, which is getting rather gripping.
• Took the littlest puddy out for a run in car to see how she coped - well, as it happened.

Day 19

Another day off, and after a couple of late nights, a really long sleep-in! Didn't do a lot, as you'll probably be able to tell:

• Got a couple of Christmas cards including one from a friend and her husband whom I've not caught up with in a while, which was a lovely surprise.
• Watched a couple of episodes of "Life", the BBC's latest major natural history series, as well as catching up on Misfits and Trueblood in evening.
• Got more of my book read too - it's really enjoyable!

Day 18

I had a lovely day off today, although late post due to errant cat who decided to disappear for 4 and a half hours. The positives:

• I made a lovely Apple Crumble, if I do say so myself!
• I watched a minimal amount of daytime telly - I've mentioned in this column before how daytime telly often seems to eat up days off.
• I'm now almost halfway through my book.

On top of this, I managed to get some household chores done - more of the same tomorrow, me thinks!!

Day the 17th

Today was the last day before another couple of days off - hurrah! As such, I was keen to make sure I got everything I needed to get done today done. Did I manage it, though? Read on...

The positives today, in no particular order:

• I was sent a rather fancy diary from a Discretionary Fund Manager we deal with. Not a biggie in itself, but nice to be recognised - Paraplanners are normally the Cinderellas of the Financial Advice world!
• My post went up this morning with no hitches, and I've managed to schedule tomorrow's post tonight!
• I got all I needed done out the way today - so have left a nice clean desk till Monday!

Day 16

Well, one of my points was going to about the (relatively) early night - but having just dosed for a couple of hours, the following apply:

• There was a lovely sunrise to accompany journey to work this morning.
• I managed to write and schedule tomorrow's post to my main blog - see column to the right!
• Was happy with my Secret Santa - of which more anon, perhaps!

Sorry 'tis so brief, but really need to get to sleep properly!
