Hello everyone,
I'm training someone so will have to be straight in and out.
Today I have/will
- been thinking about how on earth I am going to get another job (not necessarily better paid but definately better for my mental health...)
- I have checked online banking
- I have overpaid my credit card
- I have been training someone to do the main part of my job with me, so if I do leave I can do so guilt free.
- I will do all the tidying up that didn't get done from yesterdays list
- I will go to orchestra (less electricity at home)
- I will pay my orchestra fees (£33)
- store cupboard meals (apart from one 40p bag of crisps for my rolls...)
Oh I thought youd all want to know that I got to take a couple of calls during last nights Samaritans shift. I feel like a proper Samaritan now!
I best get back to my trainee.
KTjazz.:hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
I'm back, and this time I mean business!
If you need to talk to someone confidentially call Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or email jo@samaritans.org
My heart knows me better than I know myself so I'm going to let it do all the talking.0 -
Afternoon all
Just a quick update. Manged to find some bargain boots in matalan for £14! Well chuffed with that. Other than that have been stuck indoors with little one as he is quite poorly with his cough....he has a low gag reflex so heaves at the slightest opportunity. Hence I've been on sick clearing duties.
Kept him home from Nursery today but will still have to pay fees (ggrr!!) and I will be an hour late for work as have to wait for OH to get home.
So not really a DFW friendly day today. Shall have to try and make up for it tomorrow :sad:
