Note to self - dry your hair and put on your face! Don't look at me like that! Off you go this minute!

Note to self: Do not assume that because you are working at home you can do away with any worries about your appearance.
I was sitting enjoying my cup of tea when I had to shuffle to the door in my trackie dacks for a Country Energy worker. With my face bare of even a scraping of moisturiser, hair lank and limp from the shower and with the bleary eyes of one not yet focused on the day's to-do list, I am convinced this poor man back-pedalled as I opened the door. I can only take comfort in the fact that he was not accompanied by small children who may very well have been scarred for life.
