Head Honcho casted vote on lunch venue, Red Jumper got stylish Beats by Dre earphone from Black Friday, Work ticked along, AGG's planning method is working well.

Happy Ist of December. 25 days to Christmas and 26 days to the SALES!!!

The time management planning is coming along fine, though I managed to overdo it which is a no no. I got engrossed in my assignment and went on until the early hours of the morning which is another no no. Now I'm a bit tired because I have a long day ahead.

However it was because this long distance or correspondence course I am on, comes to an end soon. Well I'm not sure if it had already. I thought I had an extra year but it seems I just delay and procrastinated, and now doing all my planning I found out I actually joined it in much earlier than I thought. The effect of implusive buying things at christmas.

This was the picture of the fireplace in the pub where I had dinner on Sunday. I just noticed that one tile is missing from the fire place and had been put by the side. How interesting. There are a selection of pubs around but this is the one we gravate to most. Nice staff, good food and pleasant atmosphere.


Yesterday was fine, AGG (Accounting Guru and Genius) asked if the christmas and team building lunch had been booked since time was running out. She's the one whose method of time management I'm using. So I summoned all the team and Glamorous was adamant if the christmas menu was rubbish she wanted a steak off the al carte menu.

Apparently the venue said it was either the christmas menu or nothing. To complicated it, we hadn't asked Head Honcho (HH) since he would have the deciding vote on the venue - we had about four in running.

 Anyway all is good because HH decided on the venue which unoffically had the team vote. Or most vocal team members voted for. So today is compiling what people want to eat on the menu and sending it on.

Red Jumper came back from his Black Friday day off sporting a new pair of Dr Dre Beats air phones. They were stylish sliver in-ear ones. Cost him about fifty quid. He is our Mr Style.

 Maybe I'll call him Mr Style rather than Red Jumper. Only calling him that because a few weeks ago he wore a bright red jumper probably to indicate the Yuletide season. Anyway he was looking forward to Cyber Monday so will get news of his bargains later on today. Yesterday he was wearing a dark tartan jumper and has an array for them. Yeah Mr High Fashion and Style.


Lots of traffic on the way home and it was very wet. There was also a lot of traffic though I have no idea why. Maybe the weather. It had been windy as of late, and with winter looming round the corner it's getting late. This is a busy road I walk along to get home.

After work went to the library to do the work, come home for a break, then went back to complete it. Left the library about ten pm. I belong to an academic library so it's later opening hours than normal. After which I decided to edit and send off my assignment.

I've updated my to do list, with a few strike offs. I still need to add going to the gym, which I'm paying for. It's nearly a year and I'm probaby a lot heavier than when I joined and been for less than twenty times. An expensive thing. However will need to pencil in sometime.

Downloaded some new ebooks to read. So looking forward to that over Christmas. They are on my kindle app. I do have some paper books to buy but until after christmas they will langush on my checkout list on Amazon. I use one click to buy ebooks.

Momma AG tired herself out after a busy weekend, so is taking it slowly. She did lots after her birthday and I spoke to her about my day. The Beautiful One wants to see James Band Screptre so we will see about it. Maybe on the weekend.

Some NaNoWriMo people are having a drink up, might just go for the sake of it. Or not. Anyways need to dash to work now.

Show me your desk: Books, magazines, bottle of water, and same old clutter.

Today I have more of a writerly desk, so let's roll. From the far left handside is my writing magazine, I treat myself to it, and it has some interesting articles at times. It's just something I flick though the way other people buy GQ, Vougue or Marie Claire. It's my monthly interest magazine, and no I don't do the writing exercises but then who buys all the clothes, make-up and perfume advertised in the high-end women's magazines.  Next is a bottle of vitamins, this was a gift from Sis. Yes, as you probably realise, Sis is very generous with her gifts as they are normally featured on my desk. If fact the Apple Notebook is also one.  A small fact is that I bought my first phone only two years ago because for the last ten years, Sis gave me all her hand-me-downs. She's very on top of technology - ahead of the curve, wave or early adaptor.  Anyway she got me them because she's into healthy eating and body care, and probably got them on discount. ...

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and   steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Had coffee with a fellow writer, went to an exhibition on West Africa: Word, Symbol, Song at the British Library.

There was a massive Disney Christmas tree at St Pancras Station.  I thought I'd start with that picture. Implemented Accounting Guru Genius (AGG)  method this morning. I mentioned yesterdays she showed me her way of planning. Well it's kinda like project management critical path and working back but in AGG's way.  Well the results where what I sort of knew but it's official. I do too much. I've got so much on that I have make very slow progress with anything then end up procrastinating. So I really need to learn and get this planning and time management method under my belt. The only reason is that it's kinda the only thing I actually got. When AGG first did it, I was amazed. It was so impressive. I kinda forgot about it but it's coming up to the end of the year, and I've made great progress with some goals and projects but others are still hanging. Anyway after putting in all my hours I realised I only had a certain amount of free time. Not a...
