If I were working from home I could do more. However, one can not cook, sort washing etc from the office.

2) Phoning round trying to find a tiler with two spare days between now and Christmas
3) Typing and editing articles for the magazine
4) Trying to find suitable references for a "Stop the Truck Stop" article
5) Supplying Mrs S with endless quantities of stationery
6) Buying some text books on Amazon
7) Trying to get to the bathroom (Diuretics strike at the most inconvenient moments)
Eight) Answering questions from a 6 yo who is off school with an Asthma attack
9) Planning menus for the next week (Taking into account 5 peoples likes and dislikes and my diabetic needs)
10) Choosing pictures for magazine
Mrs S is in the dining room panicking because she cannot find her note book that ALWAYS lives in her handbag. The problem seems to be that I cannot remember which handbag she used last. ::)

That sounds sooooooooooo familiar.

I seem to be the only one doing one task at a time.
When I'm on here I'm not analysing the company's mobile phone bill or discussing a Blackberry set up wilth one of the Partners or chatting to my colleagues or going to the loo or on the phone talking to the finance company about funding a new company car or...
Multitasking is a misnomer.

I have just switched all my heavy and boring shopping to tesco.com (e.g the 3 gallons of milk each week). I shall now go there and trip lightly through the deli bit lol:

I have long been a supporter of Tesco and Asda Home Delivery services ~ life is too short for supermarket visits.
Currently using Asda as their delivery charges are lower.
