Here's what I intend to do while my family are away:

1. Go to college to do my website design course, twice.

2. Develop pictures of my kids and work on my family website.

3. Finish my book and email publisher.

4. Finish my mailout.

5. Do my university research interview.

6. Go to IVF clinic for internal camera (ouch!) and counselling session.

7. Make some minor improvements to my bathroom.

8. Visit a friend to socialise.

9. Book up my day trips for the rest of the year and decide what I will do for xmas (always needs planning 6 months in advance as everything books up).

Today I booked a weekend to London in November, to go Christmas shopping, and I've booked a day trip to Skegness (beach resort) in July for me and dd4 - I want to use this time to plan the rest of the summer and xmas 05.

It gives me nice things to focus on.

Jo.
