Normally my working all day day but I was only working the afternoon as they owed me hours for the bank holiday.
I did some online stuff in the morning and then popped out to the post office to send some ebay parcels. Very annoyingly two people have still not paid despite auctions ending a full week ago so I will either have to deal with chasing them or filing non paying bidder reports / doing second chance offers or they will pay tomomorrow morning and then be hacked off when I don’t send stuff for a week because I’m away. Grr ebay.
Back home for lunch and I wrote the ‘when she was 7’ page about Scarlett for my blog which always takes ages because I go and read the ones that have gone before. It always makes me realise how much they do change over the course of a year.
Ady came home and we all had lunch before heading back out again – me to work and the rest of them to do some store visits. Childcare has been pretty easy for the summer as Ady is happier taking them out with him to work as they give him cover for his mystery shopping type stuff and don’t look out of place in school holidays. It will start to get trickier again from now on.
I had a nice afternoon at work, chatting to two of the Saturday assistants who are off to uni in the next couple of weeks and another who is 5 years through a 6 year medicine course and is very interesting company. I always feel a bit melancholy normally at this time of year when all the youngsters are off about to start their lives with new horizons and adventures and hanker after that for myself, this year I am hugging to myself the knowledge that we’ll be off on our own life changing adventure or at the very least a gap year in six months time :).
An ex work colleague came in and we had a catch up. She is undergoing all sorts of life changing stuff of her own including rethinking some huge areas of her life so we chatted about that for a bit. Looking forward to seeing what happens to her next :).
Ady picked me up and we started sorting out camping stuff, well actually Ady mostly started sorting out camping stuff while I drank tea 😳 We have a bit more stuff to clear from our playroom and then we’ll store all the camping stuff in there and have to make decisions on what we keep, what we take with us and what we won’t need any more.
We read a couple of chapters of King of the Cloud Forests and then Davies and Scarlett went off to bed.
