The Tender Trap

It's finished! One million hours and forty headaches and goodness knows how many hearts in mouth later - THE TENDER (what's been taking up every minute of my living day for the past three weeks)  is finished!!! Hooray! I am ready to unpack the street party bunting in celebration, regardless of whether we get the contract or not.

Has it been agony? Yup. Have I lost sleep over it? Yup. Has it been worthwhile? Oh yes (oh no, that sounds like that awful insurance doggie thing on tv doesn't it?)

Let me explain: the thing is, it's been a while since I challenged myself to seriously pick over the whole operation and despite the slog, it has been fascinating to see how things have changed over the years since I last produced a comprehensive portfolio.

Result? It's good, thorough and definitely something I am proud of.

Enough blowing of own trumpet and must mention Gorgeous Husband for putting the whole thing together so that it is a thing of beauty.

But I wouldn't want anyone to think I don't have a life apart from work so here's the lowdown on this weekend:

Friday lunch at Skylon - very plush and very  naughty on the diet / healthy eating front.

Saturday Gym (to make up for Friday's lunch) just me with the trainer, therefore still aching all over.

Saturday evening over to friends and out for more diet-busting activity.

Sunday phone calls, coffee with pals, walk on sea front and of course: finishing The Tender.

Now it's Sunday evening - I must have earned a couple of hours in front of telly with Foyle's War, don't you think?

More soon.....
