Earthgirl gets back on track!

EG
If you've slept then I bet your body needed it!
I've been falling asleep in the afternoons throughout the week as I've been recovering from suspected H1N1 - very annoying but I guess my body needs it to recuperate?

Hope the late afternoon went well?

Thats terrible, yes I'm sure you need to sleep - hope you get better soon!

I really worry if we got H1N1 and it was bad, we would struggle to work.

Anyhow, ended up doing some work for OH, and then weather improved so we had a lovley bbq - really tasty and about £30 cheaper than going out!!

Today I'm going to

Finish small bus work
cycle to allotment, pick veg for tea

Hope I think of some other worth while activities as well!

How fit did I feel yesterday - Cycled to and from allotment (only about 6 miles in total, but hey its a start) and dug over about 1/2 of my winter veg plot :T going to go and finish it tomorrow and get the stuff in as its really late already!

So after that had a relaxing evening, but went back to this not being able to sleep nonsense, so finally fell asleep at 7am, and have just got up . Still at least I feel like a human!

Today I'm going to:

-Do some small business work (my rule is if you procrastinate over it you do it first :eek:)
- post packages
- Do 2 hours tutoring 4.30pm - 6.30pm
- Clean house
- Do some tutoring website promotion

Tomorrow I'm going to:
- do 6 hours small business work
- try to source free manure
- dig over rest of bed I need, rotavate and plant winter veg.


There, that list should wake me up!:j

I know this might sound odd but I'm jealous...tbh I just want to get H1N1 out the way...... At least you know you can't catch it in Mexico now:p!

Anyway, a big huge

True, but wife and daughter haven't had it.....

Oh my earthgirl. Never read your thread before and I've got to admit I'm exhausted now!! Seriously don't know how you do it. I teach Science admittedly I've only just finished my NQT year but there is not a chance i could do what you do!! I'm so envious of your energy. My OH is exactly like you...he could run round forever!!

Still, I'll get there one day...should really get round to MS job hunting which is the reason I actually came on the net...oophs!

earthgirl

Today I've
-Checked for MShops - none available
- printed off tutoring resources
- Done some banking
- Applied for some freebies (looking forward to the graze boxes)
- sorted out tesco clubcard.

I realised that my clubcard vouchers were going to my last address (i moved 5 years ago! what an idiot!) I hardly used to spend anything there anyway, as I worked in another supermarket, but still a bit annoyed with myself!

Still to do this week:
- check i'm collecting tesco points at eon DONE
- check electricty usage at eon and look for ways of reducing DONE
- Check gala bingo payment recieved and then close account
- get my airmiles card and OHs airmiles card feeding into the same account.
- check isas transferred and make an appointment with A&L to close all accounts
- make income and outgoings spreadsheet for tutoring tax assesment DONE
- filing
- get toiletries at liddl (use voucher) DONE - Didn't use voucher couldn't spend £30!

Also need to spend around 18 hours on small business, and haven't been able to get to allotment to dig cause of rain!

We have managed to eat loads of allotment food, baked, stuffed, you name it!

Is it worth asking Tesco if these vouchers were ever used (surely they can only be used with the clubcard they came from) and maybe asking for back dated? Worth a shot? But I realise you're busy with that huge list!

I'm loving the E.On online graphs for gas/elec usage, can compare to last year. Are you registered for online stuff too?
