Financial faux pas and other disasterous decisions

Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la. Its Christmas! Well actually its not, not for another 52 entire days but I've spent a fun filled hour wrapping up Christmas prezzies to send off with the demonic daughters to the far flung rellies this weekend. It appears I have enough stuff stashed for next year too and enough wrapping paper to last a decade or so. Still thats one thing less to do.

Left work super early this morning so did another two DooYoos taking me to £70. Have attempted majoy tidying upstairs but its a major disaster zone. Still I've another couple of hours to go before returning to work to make some sort of headway.

The postie brought goodies this morning. A teeny tiny sample of nectarine and ginger Dove bodywash and almost £55 worth of Clubcard vouchers which I can splurge on £220 of goodies from the Deals brochure. Heres hoping I can purchase some of the remaining Christmas and birthday presents via that route.

Yet more housework beckons.

One box of dusty unsaleable CDs gone. £5.16 from Music Magpie gained in the process. Every little helps!

Most irritatingly my PC has just ignored all instructions not to install microsofts automatic updaes and has shut itself down eating 400 words of a review. Too cheesed off to rewrite it now. Will attempt to do it later.

Have had a fun 20 minutes playing the cat worming game. Am now suitably covered in scratches with a very irate cat hiding behind the sofa. Still no need to do that again for another three months.

Just when you think things can't get any wierder they do. I've spent the morning gathering beech nut husks for someones Grandma and shortening a fallen branch for a classroom display. More fun that emptying dustbins.

DooYoos done. Off to make a start on the housework... well after a quick surf.

Had visitations from the wierdos of DooYoo. Apparently one review doesn't contain enough opinion whilst another waffled on for paragraphs about the things I could have included had I reviewed the item in question properly like the previous 35 people. And breathe. I'm doing it for the money. Only the money. These people don't have to like me. Even if they click the "your waffle is completely worthless you inept moron" button I get 15 points and points mean wonga.

Had I been includig OHs hobbies in the 4K challenge I would just have failed. He ordered "a few spares" yesterday the total cost of which exceed the amount of cash I have left. Fortunately I'm not. Still this can only be a good thing. Fingers crossed Project Landrover is about to take a large leap forward. Hes threatening to have this Saturday off in addition to his normal three days leave so hopefully he'll begin to make some headway if it ever stops raining.

The DDs depart straight from school, need to remember to pack them some clothes. Fortunately I don't need to remeber anything esle cos at some point in the past I've forgotten something or other so Grannys bought toothbrushes, hairbrushes, calpol and the other detritus that accomaines small children wherever they go. It makes life so much easier.

Unofficially discovered schools builders are starting in two weeks time and will be underfoot until April. So need to get teachers to empty cupboards sooner rather than later. This mornings entertainment will involve squelching through mud collecting fireworks from the school field where the neighbours were letting them off yesterday. This afternoon I have an appointment with a handsome octogenarian to see if its possible to relocate a donated greenhouse to school and glaze it in super safe perspex without the wind blowing the panels out. Tis all good fun.

I did have lots planned for the wekend. Mostly dull domesticated things but if OHs around they won't happen as he'll complain I'm ignoring him. May just have to get up early to get round that.

3 DooYoos done taking me to 110. I like round numbers. Almost at the £75 mark. Only £25 and a bit to go to monetary target and 90 reviews until I lose the will to live although I'll lose it long before then. I'm bored of reviewing. Bored I tell you.

Must read Ts and Cs of employment in future. It turns out that I can be asked to Lap Dance as part of my current duties.

Yesterday was a very bizarre day!

Moo, what have you been up to?

I hope you at least got some £20's slipped into your garter

It all started out simply enough with a staff invasion of the neighbours garden in the pouring rain to see if its possible to turn a glass greenhouse into a kiddie safe item which could with stand the onslaught of footballs in school veggie patch.

An hour later we were still randomly chatting about anything and everything in a classroom when the subject of the Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme cropped up and with it the next batch of staff nights out where its a requirement that all staff go out clubbing and get embarrassinlgly drunk (well at least those over the ae of 50 who wouldn't be caught dead in a club whilst sober) which descended into the depths of depravity with the boss impersonating a Weeble (weebles wobble but they don't fall over) as he reminisced about the staff stag night followed on by revelations that at the last school disco when appraoched by several small children and requested to dance he informed them that he paid staff to do that.

Clearly that takes quite a bit of explaining. So when the idea of a pole dancing lesson at a night club was voiced as a feature of this years unofficial Christmas bash (not to be mistaken for the official christmas bash or the other officicial christmas bash or the unofficial pre-christmas bash the week before the unofficial christmas bash - clearly its a hard life being a teacher) we wondered what else the boss had in mind.
