Sometimes……working for yourself and setting some of your own rules has its benefits…..a 5am start at my laptop 💻 so I could make a break for it for an early morning run and fitness class with Pink Laydee …..followed by a 10.15am meeting with a large client…….I made sure I brought a suitable change of footware that was clean! This was well received by my client as was my Highland Fling Race Group hoodie and chat about it 🙌🤣👀……I’m getting better and this work and pleasure balance!

Proudly wearing my Highland Fling Race Group T-shirt to my key access/vacant survey in Edinburgh for Cornerstone Letting …….and what’s here for me when I arrive home???? Swag bag delivery from the sale Highland Fling Tower Sale. Happy days! Officially mixing work with pleasure.

I must come work here more often.
