My title creating abilities have failed... insert your own here...

My brain appears to have gone off line for the weekend.... probably in shock at having the day off work tomorrow after what has been an incredibly intense few weeks job wise.

Year end is now only just over two weeks away and I am averaging 15 e-mails a day with desperate pleas for me to work miracles.... or at least that is how I am interpreting them.... the other option is to interpret them as impolite demands for me to dig them out of the hole they are in whilst they blame me for the predicament..... I think every single reply I've sent today has been written, left for at least 10 minutes, re-written and then sent......because there are somethings it's quite impolite to say to your colleagues!

After having one big case settle on Monday, just a day before a 4 day hearing, I've had another settle today- which should have gone to a 2 day hearing the first week of May......... *huge sigh of relief*  ......My boss has at least finally twigged that I hate running files to full hearings and that as calm and organised as I appear on the outside I actually mange to wind myself up to the edge of meltdown every single flipping time..... Oh and I booked off two more days, 2nd & 3rd May, to celebrate.

This evening as a result of the day off/case settling combo I have perhaps been a little giddy..... I decided to celebrate with a nice tea and really wanted pizza - which is not a good thing to want if you are yeast free.... I ended up using puff pastry to make a base and then putting on a load of veggies and goats cheese before baking it... not quite pizza but nice none the less........... and then I might possibly have had a couple of wee drinks.... I'm trying to discover what goes best with the rhubarb vodka.... American cream soda works, and it's quite nice on vanilla ice cream.......

So my plan for the weekend primarily involves writing........... lots and lots of writing.... the aim is to double the current word count this weekend, which will take me to about 10,000 words.......and I am not sure that will be even half way through.......*nervously looks at the horizon to see the grey swirling clouds of doom that surround the approaching deadline*

I do intend to have some time relaxing and tomorrow I am off to see a friend and take her out for the afternoon......... but we are going to be civilised.... honest....
