So glad it's Friday...

We’re off to Iqueer this evening after work – the challenge is to get in and out without (a) having an argument with my beloved (b) spending on average 7 times more than I had planned to. Watch this space…

It’s my work conference next week for 400 people and I have single-handedly organised it. So far the prep has gone well and liking things done a certain way, i.e. properly; I’m very glad I’ve been in charge. Although I suspect I may collapse in a heap at the end of it all, drinking too much free wine and inexplicably tearful. (I’ve chosen the wine as well so I know it’s good!)

I’m training my facilitators today and so went to M&S before work for goodies; cookies, fruit, pretzels, flapjack, fruit juice… I always think training is so much more effective with high sugar levels…

This weekend is a home weekend. We have to do a big autumn clear-up in the garden, I’m making a cake and some more bread (how Women’s Institute!) and of course in the evening, it’s the rugby. I also want to catch up on some sleep. I’ve been ridiculously tired this week. As next week is a fairly big week, I want to approach it with vim if not vigour.

Right now I need a coffee and to crack on. Have a wonderful weekend.

(Minor irritation and I hate to mention it really, but as someone who is a really big rugby fan, who used to play rugby, who knows quite a lot about yes, you guessed it, rugby, please save me from people who don’t understand rugby giving me their ill-informed opinions about, all together now, rugby! Learn how the game is played and we can talk. Sorry to be peevish. Thank you.)
