BEST FRIENDS WITH EARLY BIRD

[Karan]:  I have dragged myself out from under my beloved duvet at some ungodly hour this morning to catch up on some much neeeded admin and, once my body had got over the initial shock of what I was making it do, it has really paid dividends.

This picture is from the bottom of our garden in Kettering.  I wish!  Although it may not actually be from the bottom of our garden (not many beaches in Kettering sadly), it does convey the peace and tranquility of what it's like at stupid O'clock in the morning.

Now this is where all you shift workers are going to spit out your tea at me, when I tell you I was up at 5am - I know that's not early in your book, but I'm just a beginner at this.  Don't get me wrong, I've pulled a couple of all-nighters in my time - as recently as the week before Christmas when we decided to redecorate the lounge and were running out of time fast.  I've also had plenty of nights where I've hardly slept at all, thanks to our darling nocturnal babies, but this is my first time up with the sparrow's fart - deliberately - to complete much needed admin, before the rest of the half-term household wakes up, and before the phone starts ringing.

This is the beginning of the new financial year and I still had to process last year's PAYE records, whilst installing and setting up this year's PAYE records; and it's always advisable to concentrate whilst doing this, otherwise I could end up in the poopie (which is our son's newly found word for, well you know what for).

So here I am at almost 7.30am and all of my vital, absolutely cannot wait another second jobs are done, and I'm feeling good.  It may be worth checking back with me about 4.30pm to see if I look as though my batteries have been taken out - but hey - that's what coffee's for, isn't it?  Have a great day world!
