Yesterday I:
Got up and made James's lunch, plus strawberry & Banana smoothies for breakfast Threw some clothes on after shoving him out the door for the bus... Started cleaning the bathroom Discovered the boiler wasn't giving me hot water... Rang the boiler people Rand Alan just to let him know and ask what the symptoms he'd encountered when it failed to come on at the weekend were... Rang the Inland Revinue re taxable earned income from emplyer vs income earned as self-emplyed dressmaker... Fielded call from boiler people saying man would come some time that day, but they knew not when! Tidied living room a bit... Disinterred boiler cupboard from heap in corner of bedroom! Let boiler man in! Let customer in! Let boiler man out! Fitted customer into toile. Post came with customer's other pattern... We decided this late one was the way to go, so... Looked at swatches of fabric and made final colour selection Discussed pattern alterations and yardage... drank coffee! Let customer out! Had sandwich Cut out bits of pattern back, with alterations... Covered conservatory in waste paper! There will be 10 bits to this pattern! ARGH! Rang friend with shopping list! Let James in from school Let friend in with shopping Second customer couldn't make fitting due to pressure of work, so put off until today (and she was deeply embarassed at the short notice , which isn't her fault: she works for the police, and was involved in a grievance hearing dropped on her at 8 am!) Cooked dinner... Got friend to countersign passport application and photos for James... Filled in passport application and sealed it up with cheque and old passport. Cut out rest of back of pattern, and drew front... Watched a bit of telly, and went to bed!
Today I need to:
Cut out the rest of the pattern Write the amendments into yesterday's customer who did get here's contract ready for Friday Get her fabric yardage and costs finalized... Finish cutting her pattern for frock version II Cut her fabric and get sewing Get to the post office with the passport and about 40 invitations I need to post!
I think I'd better start by getting dressed and having some breakfast... Nope! I'll have breakfast first, then shower and dress... after finishing that pattern off, coz it's nagging me!
