Hey George xxx
I am ok, been horribly busy at work and everything at home has pretty much gone to the wall.
pants things
- had to have the hamster put to sleep, which was awful.
- my union guy can't make the meeting I have to have so I have to reschedule
- had a migraine but still had to go to work
- four fish have died mysteriously
- I haven't done any matched betting or made any extra money this week
- the cars had their MOT's (400 eish quid)
- And I had to pay 75 quid to the dentist
- so no over payments till I don't know when
- had to work after school loads
Good things
- my lessons went well this week
- and when we moderated coursework a few my folders went up
- I avoided my boss which cheered me up
- I spoke to a mate at work and she was very supportive.
- My best mate was fabulous.
- Mum has been really helpful - above and beyond
- I have paid 49 pounds to my CC today which should take the sting out of next month.
- I found lots of 99 calorie chocolate bars for the new diet
- Mum bought a cream slice for us today not exactly diet food I know, but I haven't had one in ages
- I survived the dentist!
- My room is all tidy and organised for work.
George - I think your debt has gone down - that's cool xxxxNevertheless she persisted.0 -

Its Blue Riband bars and single Difter bars Beanie, very handy!
I have had a nice weekend on the whole
dinner out friday, survived the dentist, watched some decent tv. today pottered and went out with Mum made some garden plans
did some work but not enough...... got fifteen more books to mark before bed.....and plan my lessons and fifteen books to do in the morning. I didn't get to dye my hair either.
And my back hurts loads. bit depressed about work really seriously wish I was leaving or that it was different there. i will be ok once I am there, its just a couple of days without it makes me realise I could be so much happier.
back to the books see you all later in the week xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxNevertheless she persisted.0 -
Hello all.
Am shattered and should go to bed but was attempting to do some work but just CANNOT or rather could not do it. I have made a plan - the work can be left here and so long as I get in early tomorrow I will be fine
I am so looking forward to the weekend.
I have a few plans. I found Dinah's Dairy really inspiring, plus some of the discussions on single and in debt. Its pay day soon so I think some money stuff will be looked at over the weekend.
I have earache so shall be off to bed. once I have drunk my tea. I love tea.

Hi Buffy, I hope you don't mind me joining in on your diary. I subscribed a while ago and have been reading.
You are doing really well trying to hold it all together and I admire you for that. Through family members I know how hard it is in schools esp with Cr*p bosses. Well done for trying to clear your record before you move on so it doesn't affect the future.
Make sure you keep the positive lists bigger than the negative lists, summer hols will soon be here :T

Hi KP! xxxxxxx still have earache but its ok. its not any worse, I think i might have got water in it or something.... how are you doing - you got a diary?Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
Nice to see you so chirpy Buffy................maybe you could do some matched betting while you are away from the institution;):D:DBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0

Think of me while you're enjoying the egg Buffy - I gave up buying chocolate for the 100 day challenge - I miss it! (Ok - I'll be honest - managed to get some on most days but still I can't go to the shop to get some!).
Sounds like a lovely night in - might join you once I've done a couple of chores.
