I have made a breakthrough in home working. For anyone who is interested, here are the steps to take:
1. Moan repeatedly to long suffering family members about how you have deadlines but never get any quiet time to sit and work.
2. Scope out the entire house for an appropriate table. Clearly the kitchen table is no good as the KIDS are down there.
3. Identify suitable desk in three year old's bedroom. Clear off cuddly toys x 15.
4. Carry dining chair up stairs, lifting it entirely over one narrow stair gate and through another. Wonder briefly what one's surgeon would have to say about this sort of lifting. Decide that Lauren (1) is probably heavier than a chair and proceed anyway.
5. Carry laptop, files, dictation machine upstairs. Return downstairs for stapler, hole punch and pen.
6. Decide to have a look in the computer cupboard for pencil case too. Find pencil case and have a nostalgic episode about all the pens that are in there.
7. With everything all set up at the desk, decide that it is absolutely crucial to go back downstairs and make a cup of tea. Attempt to do so. Get sent back upstairs by my dad.
Seriously, it's just like revising for A-Levels all over again!!
