Reasons why I feel grow'd up today:


1. I am officially working from home today, linked to the world via my blackberry. Tres grown up. I've sorted out a conference to South Africa for two directors, including flights and accommodation. I've also tidied the house...


2. I am at home, waiting for the delivery of our brand new leather couches which we've bought because we were in desperate need of new couches...visitors in the past were in the danger of being sucked into the old couches and coming out in Narnia or sumat.


In my mind, ever since I can remember, leather couches equated to being grown up. My oldest sister had a lovely set and I remember as an eight year old sitting on them, feeling more posh than QEII could on her throne. Once it became apparent that we can afford said leather couches, we took the plunge. And delivery is today.


I have my reservations, to be honest. I think we will need a bigger house to accommodate the couches but I am happy - we've bought them cash outright, like we did with everything else we own, so no debt. It feels very good. Very grown up.


To prevent myself from pacing like a caged animal I've popped some popcorn and am lazing about reading. And waiting.
