Pickles

Oh I am in another pickle.

I have been working at this chapter forever now, and am keen to see it finished. It is nearly 10,000 words long, which is getting on for Too Long according to my Sup, though he is happy that I am writing away and encourages this. Think it may need to be two chapters though... Eek, because this messes up my neat chapter outline that I like muchly ;0)

AM working, but quite badly. I still find it hard to settle and still find my concentration span is about two minutes long. We are looking for childminders for the Bean come Jan and have seen two, which is good. They aren't that good but are ok. (Well, they are good, they just aren't perfect ;0)) When I can drop Bean off for three mornings a week and then come back to a quiet, childless house I will concentrate a million percent better. Although it won't take the internet away will it? I must concentrate.

Am working tomorrow and Friday then am off for Xmas! Have done al my shopping now, my last pressie arrived this morning. Feeling most festive, although the snow outside is actually ice now and it is about minus 5 which makes it hard to take the baby out - he hates it basically. But I want to go and collect some holly! How wonderfully stepford.

I don't know if I shall get to post before chrimble or even New Year. I will be back soon though with my NY resolutions (be nicer to Everyone, make an effort with the in laws, be patient, finish the PhD - or at least thisn chapter)

Am realising that chapters are evil and consist of getting out of one scrape only to barge straight into another. One day I will have no scrapes which I assume is when I know it is finished. I don't believe this will ever happen!

All the best dear workers, stop soon won't you and put your feet by with a nice fire with some mulled wine :0)
