I did something unusual today...

...I got dressed!  Yup, I normally spend the day in my pj's.  It wasn't originally a conscience decision, it just so happens that my commute to work is from my bed to my desk in my living room.  Sometimes I forget to stop and put day clothes on.  I'll be sitting working away at my desk and before I know it, it's 3.28pm and I've not eaten (seriously WTF is that about?) and I haven't got dressed.

The main problem with getting dressed is putting on clothes that don't stretch, they are a harsh critic of ones new eating habits (do you like the way I've slipped into speaking in 3rd person, means I'm not taking ownership.  Denial is a strong tool to get through life...trust me, it's the way forward!).  If only someone would ban me from the "ch's"......Cheese, Chocolate & Ch..urpak!  Notice I've not included Charshmallows in that list, it's because they are FAT FREE...says so on the packet, and that is ALL that matters!  Give me a D, give me an E....N....I....A....L!!!

Anyway, the reason I got dressed today is because I chose to go to a NLP Coaching with Humour (provocative coaching) with Sue Knight (author of NLP at Work) seminar, hosted by the Coaching Association.  Worry ye not, I've not entered the world as a coach...could you imagine??  But I am interested in coaching, but especially NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).  It was blimin brilliant.  I think that now is a good time to announce that from now on I'm not being 'mean', I'm being 'provocative'! =D
I first found out about this evening's event via some of the lovely ladies that I had met at the lunch I went to last Friday, and it sounded interesting.  I'm trying to ensure that I don't go for days without leaving my abode, so am being proactive about getting out and about.  It's a little difficult because I'm still in the honeymoon period of my new career and want to work all the time.
Of course there was the added incentive of going somewhere where they would have the heating on!  And I'm pleased to report that Maersk (where the event was located) are not too tight and had their heating and lighting on, so it was rather special evening.

When I came home there was a funny smell, it didn't take me long to discover that I had gone out for FOUR hours and had left the gas burning under an empty pan on the cooker!!  I'm just hoping that I haven't used up my luck that I was hoping to use to win the £10million lotto jackpot on Saturday.  I'm gutted if I have...I have plans for that money!  Like proper plans.  As my beautiful friend L commented on my facebook status  "Someone upstairs likes you!!!" (I always feel when one does something stupid, that the best thing to do is share it...make people feel good about themselves!).  My question is 'how much?'  How much does this person love me....show me the money!!

Speaking of money, tomorrow is going to be the first day I invoice my clients!  I realise that most companies put on a '28 day payment term', I'm wondering if my clients will mind if I put on a '2.8hr payment term'??  Think about it, everything is instant these days.  I'll be emailing the invoices, not snail mail.  Everyone does internet banking, which is instant.  What's the point of dragging out the best bit?  Food for thought??

Talking of food....time to consume something from the 'ch' food group?!
