:othanks again guys:o Unfortunately it seems my deputy head hasn't quite got the idea, still popped in twice once I had been signed off, business as usual it would seem...............
Any how its something like 12 days till its all over - I will be working in the holidays prepping for next year and I will have to be on top of my game constantly, cos no doubt the watching will begin again.
not sure how I feel about that.
Any how yesterday i had a very nice day. I made my payments, did my surveys etc and then went shopping - I did a tiny bit of work but couldn't focus, I had a chat with a friend who kept pointing out how unreasonable work are being so I went out to clear my head.
I bought some new fish, I really shouldn't have as I have been having dreadful trouble with algae. However I finally decided that I had enough of my tanks looking like a black lagoon and they needed a revamp. I really enjoyed sorting out the tanks!:o
Anyhow they all look gorgeous now, I shall have to do some WC during the week, but thats fine. If I could run an aquarium shop I would.
I have cleaned and tidied up. (first job for the holiday is to shred post!)
Now I need to start work..............!

hey hon
Don't beat yourself up about taking time out for yourself - remember your promise to yourself?
I know that this past few months have rocked your confidence and that you feel that you need to up your game for next year. But remember - holiidays are there so that you can re-charge your batteries. Make sure that you give yourself some time off for you. Get away - crash with friends. Do whatever you need to get a complete break. A while back you had talked about going away - is that still an option?
Have a good rest of day and just think... soon you'lle be in the lovely 6 week holiday.

You take care, def agree start documenting down when he "pops in", if you ever need any back up proof - written evidence at the time is a lot better than memory.
Plzed you got the new fish, what are they called? xxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
Oh my God Mumto one i have just realised you have cleared all credit cards. Bloody well done!!
Its a week to go till I break up, had a good (and expensive) night out. Spent literally all of yesterday in bed:o:o oh dear I simply cannot drink like I used to.
today I have hoovered tidied up and watched a couple of episodes of the biggest loser. its an inspiring programme. I mean its shiny and glizty and sometimes lame but the fact remains that it is amazing these fat people really do lose incrediable amounts of weight.
Which is something I need to do.
In good news I have found that my 0% cc lasts till Jan which means I could move the other bill to that one, and then focus on paying it off in one place instead of two.
my current total 984.36 on the extra card, although it will go down soon once I know what I have left in the bank.
Yes I shall ring and move it on monday and just aim to make the one payment and all extra payments on one card instead of two. keep it simple!
I must sort out what money I shall need for my break. and make sure all the Aug payments are covered.
best go look at bank statements.

Thank you, thou I do have to confess I took a bank loan, but even with that I saved over 2k in interest.

Dont forget they have a personal trainer 24/7, their diets are worked out to the calorie for them, and we only get to see the gd bits.
Which is something I need to do.
