Wednesday

I couldn't think of an apt word for today so it's just Wednesday. Managed a slight lie in this morning which was very welcome. Usual rushing around printing off orders and putting away the rest of the stock from yesterday, plus sorting a few customer issues. I have had an unusually high amount of chargebacks over the last few weeks so had to supply some evidence for those.

Got Charlie started with some verbal and non verbal reasoning and D arrived and made quick and excellent work of doing parcels and weighing and sacking them ready for RM. Despite today only being the second time she has had to pick the stock herself she managed it all without any assistance except for one thing. I am considering leaving her in charge on Monday so I can go to the trade fair then rather than Sunday. She is back in on Friday so will mull it over with her then.

I am enjoying have my iPhone a lot as it is very handy not having to be at the computer ALL the time to check orders and Amazon/eBay issues. Forwarding the mails to a brand new gmail account seems to have completely removed the Spam issues I had with the Blackberry.

After lunch Charlie finished off the rest of his work, English, maths, science and more Galore Park history. Must buy the text books soon actually. He was desperate to see Anna this afternoon but I knew she would come round only if she had recovered from her first day at a British school and didn't have too much homework, so it looks like she had plenty today as she didn't come round. He is really missing her, very sweet. They played a Nancy Drew pc game yesterday which they both enjoyed.

I have decided (I think) we are definitely going to go to Center Parcs this month if work allows it as the cost of hiring a car big enough to take everything we need for Devon for 7 nights, plus all the petrol would be too big. A nice four night break at CP at least means I won't be in the house for 5 days whilst the parcels are being done. Charlie is desperate to try kayaking and some other activity that I can't remember so it seems CP wins out. I will be in the Spa!
