Day 163 - not much to report but a good SW day!!

I worked at home today & I have to say I'm full of admiration for people who have the concentration and willpower to do it all the time but...........I'm not one of them!!

This is how my day went...

Up at 7am and made breakfast for Dom & me (2 chocolate Weetabix, blueberries & semi-skimmed milk - measured of course!) then got dressed and took Dom to school.

Then home, tidied up, hung washing on airer, put on more washing, loaded Office 2007 onto Toby's Netbook so he could use it to finish his English coursework....then started work.

OK for about 30 mins then Agnes (my lovely cleaner) arrived - had to stop to say hello :)

Then Toby came down & I made his breakfast as well as getting some grapes and a black coffee for myself!

Then for about 90 mins we both worked at the dining room table - or rather he worked which involved asking me lots of questions as well as writing his essay and I lost concentration. I dealt with e-mails sent since last Friday (I don't work Mondays or Fridays usually) but couldn't open several documents on my laptop so made a list of things I need to do tomorrow and Thursday - so some productivity!!

Took Toby to orthodontist at lunchtime - which is why I worked at home today - and they tightened his brace wires & took impressions to make his mouth-guard for rugby (another £45 bites the dust but at least the orthodontics are on the NHS!!)

Came home and made lunch (after sorting more washing!!) - smoked salmon salad/orange squash/raspberries, then put dinner in oven to 'slow-cook' and got down to some work.
Internet connection was awful this afternoon (or even more awful than usual!!) so I read some documents, made some notes and returned a couple of phone calls about our conference on Thursday.

Around 5pm my dad phoned to say my mum had fallen over & that was the end of that!! She's ok  but any concentration I had built up was completely lost!!

Dinner tonight was slow-cooked beef in the remainder of some veg soup with onions and mushrooms, with spinach, broccoli and jacket potatoes - if I say so myself it was delicious but it certainly heralded in winter :(

I've just had a nectarine and other than something to drink that'll probably be my lot tonight.

Tomorrow, I'm going in to the office where I'll certainly be more productive - home-workers I salute you!!
