I seriously can't believe it's been so long since my last post AND I'm still getting hits - thankyou for bearing with me! On the up-side my professional blogs (click here and here) have been updated regularly, so I've awarded myself some brownie points anyway!
The past six week have been a whirlwind. First it was The Husbands 40th - a night in a beautiful hotel was the first we'd had together since the puppies arrived. My poor mum feeling until now slightly overwhelmed with the thought of her 2 dogs AND my 2 pups in the same household but even in the last 6 weeks mine have calmed down - at 18 months they've decided they're a bit grown up now and not so easily impressed by new stuff (ah bless!). So off we went for a night of unbridled luxury and passion The Husband convined he HAD to be on a promise (well it was his 40th) but after lounging in the huge bath (in the middle of the bedroom! seriously cool!) and a few glasses of red over dinner, both of us fell into bed and never moved a muscle until 8am the next morning! Anyway The Husband was placated by a new set of very shiny golf clubs and can be found in the garage regularly admiring them and working out the yardage for each one!
Husband happy, I'm also happy having hired a PA for the very first time in 10 years of being self employed. Part time - she comes to my house and has integrated well with the puppies, I've even left her on her own with them while I skipped off to Oxford to pick up a rather fabulous car with my brother! Having someone to help is a whole new thing for me, she literally bounds in the front door, eager for her next challenge - yesterday it was my accounts and she seems determined to bring me up to speed with the latest in spreadsheets. I scowled. Spreadsheets scare me, I wanted to cry - she assures me it's the way forward!
There have also been dozens of radio interviews promoting my book 'Behind with the Mortgage and Living off Plastic', I've spent hours in the studio being patched through to everywhere from Radio Leeds, Cumbria, Manchester, Jersey, Cornwall, Humberside and even Radio Europe (who knew!) with a listenership of 650,000 on their own! Radio Wales has even got a listenership of 442,000 apparently! SO latest PR campaign put to bed, it's back to the real world. Back to blogging but just gotta water my pots before I do anything else - yes, she's now into gardening! You might even get photo's - lucky you!
