Spent what should have been a glorious day at work today – without meetings.  However, was a bit bored.  Had set myself (or rather had set for me) the virtuous task of drawing up the directorate equalities storyboard.  No wonder they are making me redundant.  I had tried to ignore this workstream all year – not because it is not worthy – obviously it is, but because it seemed mainly to consist of filling in lots of workplans and performance tables and involve target setting – the lifesludge of the bureaucrat in other words.  I had tried not to get contaminated, but felt sorry for the person who was trying to get me to do it so when a day became free, I promised to do it….

  

I was only partially cheered by the outcome of my exploration of e-bay.  The Xbox 360 game ‘new & sealed’ costing £40.  Currently has a bid of 99p against it.  Someone saw me coming.  Only slightly better is the outcome of the bid I have made for some dishes to match existing where I have clearly bid too much as mine is still the winning bid after 3 days..  Some people have just got sucker written all over them.

 Someone has read my blog.  Hurray –thank you nice lady. I think I must tell my sister about it.  She claims to like my letters and perhaps she could tell her friends about it.  In the meantime, I shall cheer myself up by starting my next Trinny & Susanna task; booking a table for Valentine’s night.
