Afternoon all

Sorry for being awol had manic weekend.
Did promotional work yesterday in the puring rain. Was awful but it's all going into the xmas fund!

I started my new new job today which I love but isnt going to be a great earner for me after childcare but it's going to open lots of doors for me and once the boys are at school it will work really well.

I'll also look for some mystery shops

Thats it!

PS Andan - writing assignments is very DFW - you are increasing your earning capacity whilst not spending money - exercising your fingers and brain for free. Whist not spending on petrol (if at home) and so forth!!

All very DFW!!!

Not dfw if i chuck the computer and all my paper work out the window for annoying me:rotfl:I have wrote 3500 words but have anothe 1000 to go!! It is trully never ending, i did not start properly writing it till yesterday, hence why hands and head hurt so much!!

What are you doing in York fay? That is my family's neck of the woods, off up there next week. Its quite an expensive place but i do like it, especially all the history!

Aw dont chuck out your computer - its cold outside, poor thing would freeze. Me 12k words into something that should be about 12k and I havent even covered alot o sections I write so much rubbish, and it was due in months ago. Problem with them treating me like a grown up and fixing my own deadlines is that I keep finding other things to do. Currently writing about UK wood energy - you? Stop yawning!!!!!!

York in Dec - AAB Biomass and Energy Crop Conference - not quite in York int he Defra place at Sand Hutton? Maybe I just made up a village!!

peb

There are plenty of B&Bs in York area but if you are outside of York best looking for somewhere where the conference is - public transport (buses etc) not that good from York into the Country.

Austria is my favourite place too - but the other side up from Jenbach - Pertisau on the Achensee. You might want to try up there sophiesmum.

Brought (and eaten!) lunch.

Tea in fridge ready for when I get back (college night so home 9.30ish)

Brought flask for college so don't buy nasty machine drink.

Tomorrow out for lunch (work celbration - £5) and dinner - ASK voucher so will ne expensive!

Hi peb,
spent a lot of time around that neck of the woods too, once lost my camera when it slipped overboard whilst we were out on a pedalo on achensee - we went so far out the big cruise boat there came scarily close:eek:. Love the railway and the walks around there too.

Not heard of the village, but then there are a lot. Please don't remind me of the public transport Peb, it annoys me everytime i go up there. I don't understand why buses only run once an hour and stop part way through the day:eek: Plus they are always late!!

I'd definitely stay in a village out in the countryside near to the place as the countryside is gorgeous. My family live in a small town and its lovely going back there and getting away from it all. Not so great getting stuck behind tractors.

Wont throw computer out of the bedroom just yet, have had some fab news. I have just had a booking for a pamper party. Am so pleased, plus its for someone other than a friend so feel like my business is really off the ground now!!:j:j

Its not helping getting my assignment done though, running around being happy!!:rotfl:

Back and reporting for duty :hello:

Have had a busy weekend and ended it with a stinking cold, I didn't have much brain power to start with, now it's parceled up in cotton wool... I'm wearing thick ski socks and a body warmer that makes me look like a gargantuan polar bear (have got trousers on too).

The only thing on my list is to sort out my financials which taken a hammering. Part 2 of get the car through the MOT takes place tomorrow, so if you could all think cheap car parts and labour thoughts I'd be very grateful. It's already cost £151 :eek:

Have missed you all and really hope you're all well and sparkly!
