then the guilt follows...

I did it... I tried to say no. In fact, more than 'tried' I did say no. But the problem was I ended up feeling mightily guilty - like a really selfish old trout.

Set me off thinking though - there is a right time to say no, and a right time to say no and not be guilty that your friend / colleague is going to have to find another willing fool, sorry, participant.

So, I've decided to take another tactic - to say yes, but to

- find out what I'm saying 'yes' to, in full, before doing it
- explain how busy I am and that I can't do it straight away
- ask when the 'favour' needs doing by, and if I can't make it, say no

Oh yes, a plan - I like plans... let's see if I can stick to this one today. I'm suffering from a lovely cold, so it's going to be like wading through mud to just make the simplest of decisions today but we'll see.

Have a great day lovelies and speak soon
