Phew!

Finally the week is nearly over and I seem to have done most of the things I set out to do; which is to clear the decks and tick off as many jobs off the 'To Do' list as is possible!!

I have wrapped up my Lincoln Inspired contribution, as I have finally finished sorting out all the photographs I took over the week.  As one of the festival photographers we were responsible for sending a number of 'shots' to the organisers after each event was over.  I was also able to upload a few instantly to facebook via my phone while the events were actually taking place. 

As well as sorting out all the photos from Lincoln Inspired, I have also managed to sort out all the photographs that have accumulated on my laptop over the last month or so.

My other blog http://grumpymumtobe.blogspot.co.uk/ details how busy we have been with regards to school places, parent evenings and children's parties over the last month or so.  I have also been suffering with my back; which poses problems when trying to sit at the computer for long periods of time.

Since the end of March I have been unemployed.  This has meant a trip to the Job Centre and the need to sign on every other week - even though I am not actually entitled to Job Seekers Allowance (but that's another story).  Although I have used some of my time for applying for jobs and attending an interview, I do now have more time for writing when Jamie is at pre-school.  However, being a 4 year old, he is very demanding when he is at home.  Unfortunately, Nana has been away for two weeks and now she is recovering from an operation, so there is no chance of babysitting from her for a week or so. 

So now I have made plans for the next two weeks.  Next week I intend to concentrate on my photography as I have a huge 'To Do List' and have not spent as much time as I would like on the Camera School Modules.

Then the week after next I intend to finally sort my Ideas list; which will also include a bit of a spring clean.....The plan is to fire up the imagination and then dive back into pitching, pitching, pitching articles.
