"This time next year, Rodney" Hypno's latest instalment

I would say that I am the most disorganised person, because that is how it feels - but to be honest, I suppose I have to be organised to fit everything in!
I get up just after 6, and make coffee - rule number one, never do anything until the kettle has boiled!
Then I fire up the laptop, and do the online banking and daily scratchcards. I should leave for work at 7.30 to start at 8 and work minimum until 5.30, often later, so schedule mystery shops etc in for lunch time or straight after work. The children do sport most evenings, so that is when I go for my run, while I am waiting for them to finish their training session, then we come home, and I collapse! I check for mystery shops a couple of times a day when I am logged on.
I am lucky that DS who is 13 is very good at cooking so he volunteers to make the main meal - he knows that if he has to rely on me everyday, he may starve...........:rolleyes:
Then, if I have clients and/or workshops to teach, I fit these in as and when.
My filofax is my friend - without it I am lost. Last year I lost it for a few days and it was Hell!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -

I've never been the most organised person but since I had my DD (2mth) it's very bad. Most of the time I feel like a dog running in circels trying to catch it's tail. It's hard to fit everything in with two small kids. I want to do things with them, there is house to keep clean and tidy, finances to keep on top of, make extra money to pay off debts. I easily get sidetracked when online too. being addicted to MSE doesn't help, lol.Official DFW Member no:4100

Thats a bit scary, Hypno....
I was nodding at what you wrote about mystery shops - I find I've done too many, and sometimes travelled too far to make a proper profit. I'm definitely going to be checking that - just as well really, since I can't find any at the mo!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Morning guys - it is a new week, and it's Christmas week! And next week it will be 2009!!!
Scratchcards done - double scratch today again, and the best I got was 50p.
P - well done on the run - you will get back into it....you just need to do it!
Mrs d and Sea, I'm stuffed full of disorgansation too though - paperwork left to the last minute as is lesson planning and essays etc and a house that needs an awful lot doing before it can be considered organised in any way! But I do ok, and ok will have to do!
Online banking next.......

Hi there youareallhelping me!! Glad you have got the scratchcard under way - it all adds up!
Child benefit has gone into the bank, but other than that, nothing to report.....no horrid surprises though, so that will have to be good enough!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

It was the CB money I had been waiting for as its the only account I have online banking on!
Will using CB money for MSE gambling send me to the naughty step, until the deposit arrives back in my account??????????? :rolleyes:
