Managed the 2 tutorials yesterday, great as the 2nd one finished an hr early, so home for 4ish, think some of the info stuck, the one course, the assisgnment due next week, reckon that shouldn't take to long.

No major dramas with the stairlift.... so weird it sticks in the same place, but you just have to go up a stair, and then come back down. Half expecting a call from mother yesterday saying I'm stuck.....

Ebay - had 15 things listed last Sunday,sold 11 of them, mainly my clothes, that looked, tryed on and different feel right in them, a couple of things were too small....
Made - £70.52 on sales, £40.50 for postage, but think most of that will be used, and £8.45 fees, paid them 2ngt, just paypal to take their cut, be interesting to see how much of the £70 I get to keep

Did a carboot today, thou I must say I looked like death warmed up.... we were there for 6.30am, some bloke had been there since 5.30am.......

Made £63 (free table), but £28 of that was dds, (thats gone up in her sales pot), and I didn't have to pay for table (helped out for an hr on the pta table while dad did mine), gave dad £5 for helping me, I've got £30.Very plzed with that.

SAD CONFESSION TIME
I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS TO COME, SO GET MY MONEY SORTED - this is the 1st time I've actually said it...... I know I put £250 card, (there was bowling from Easter, the early bday present for mum a hoover...... petrol for the car, clothes for dd, whereas say 18months ago, I wouldn't of cared what I put on as long as there was space.

My loan coming out 2mor so thats another £184 to go on the total pd off, may be swopping money around, so get can rid of another card, Aqua 39.9%, so may take advantage of Barclaycard increase and transfer across, see when get all the statements through.

Mums got her review with GP 2mor from when she had the camera jobbie, but as we said the hospital was clear, so its more tick box job.

Got the main assisgnment to do - Tues/wed, that leave me thurs/fri for studying the other 2 courses, got a assisgnement for new course to be done soon, but its only 1,000 words....after doiing 3,000 should be a breeze...

Off to update sig..... so silly, but I get to colour some more squares off.....xx

Hi mum2one. Great news with the carboot and ebay :T
Good luck with the assignments too. Brings back memories of staying up all through the night to get them finished and thinking 'why didn't I do them earlier?' Will be worth it in the end

Now have all this months credit card bills in, thou Barclaycard the sneaky people have upped the interest to 30%, from 24.9%, considering I was a valued customer and they upped thelimit....... the trouble is not haveing regular
wage, trapped in the "high interest zones". Thats the job for Sunday to be finaical savvy, weather permitting we're having a day out at the coast on Saturday.

Had my GP in stitches, bless him, booked an appointment for a review of my medication he's worried with what I'm taking, the fact that I'm still standing, could be something to do with my weight!!!

(I feel like a hypercondritatic) excuse spelling,

But he was worried about the notes on file that I'd had the sickness bug, as my arm was red (I think it was how I was leaning), it thinks I picked up cellitius again, so thats antibiotics, then while he was moving my arm, I went ouch, got a weird lump on my side, shouldn't laugh, but I've fractured a rib, and the lump is the muscle being moved, possibly when I was poorly last week.

He complimented me that I'd lost weight, so thought ask if I can use his scales, I thought I was going to break them, it came at 145kg 23stone......... not good. When they found out I was pregnant I was 120kg, (why can't they say stones and pounds know where I am), then last check up a week b4 she was born I was 125kg, (think put on 11lb) and she was 7lb 15oz of that, but its crept up, espically over the last 12 months comfort eat, not boredom, but frustation and worry, (OU and mum).

Thou so funny, he always asks about dd, and when saw he last before we were due to go to Tunisia, he asks did she go enjoy her holiday, ......no we didn't go she had chicken pox!! She's been really good about it, think it becoz got Dom Rep next yr, shes got something to focus on

Then mum had her appointment, she always ask me to stay, more this time as it was the offical results of her camera job, (without being rude), the gp confirmed it was Piles, but shes just got to keep an eye on them. She had some more good news, she had xrays on her hip after her last 2 falls, although the xray had shown changes from the ones before, she's got a couple of hairline fractures, but they're just keep an eye on her, (when she falls she goes down on the same side, shes like me, built forcomfort not speed!!), bar all her other ailments, shes ok. Which is good news.

So will get this week out of the way, got an assisgnment and weeks worth of the other 2 courses to do, plus I've started a food diary, to pinpoint the areas. Thou doesn't look gd 1st day 8oz rump steak, chips, for dinner, bless her mum took me to the pub for lunch to say thank you for running her around and everything, 2 for £10, the steak was lush......hopeing by seeing the food intake in black and white make sense. I want to be a lot slimmer for when we go to Dom Rep nxt yr..... need to make sure they can tell the difference between me and the dolphin!!

So would say 10/10 day (ignore the scales, but take the compliment about weight loss!).

Have taken a leaf out of my own book, everytime I look at an SOA on the debt boards, I'm always saying try your local college for haircuts, - so as we can't get a daytrip to Rhyl, sods law at Wolverhampton for a tutorial, so have booked in with the local college, dry cuts from £5.00, they don't normally do children till there teenagers,but as we explained dd is growing her hair, just the ends so they said yes.

Can't believe the differerece a yr makes, when there was an offer on the grabbit board, it was a poster of photos, so picked the best 6 from Tunisia, and her is cropped to the neck, now on her shoulders. xx

Been a busy little bee all day.....

Just finished Q1 om my assisgnment, still have q2, which is about 800 words, then a mini one of 200 words, which will be a doodle as I bluff that part everytime and still get the 5 marks sorted.

Some good news-
My aqua statement came - the one paid for dd and me go to Tunisia with,luckly the holiday hasn't come through on this bill,....

I have done some balance transfer, got £1023 on barclaycard, there doing that at a balance of 7% for life of balance, got another £250 going onto capital one - thou thats 15%, but better as there chargng me 30% apr on the baance, thou that still leaves £500 on Aqua, so will redo snowball at the weekend, and split up cap 1 and barclays to take into account the different aprs, slightly stuck, as the aqua is to do with the halifax group, but can't ba;ance transfer across on that.... so thats the main one I want shifted next, be ok, once its in black and white be ok. know where I'll be.

Just trying to help dad get sorted, since mum got her DLA upgraded, they've had backdates of winter fuel, so as I gave him mine when I had them £25 payments, (mine was Income support), told him he can give me half!!! sort out the Open Uni etc.....

No peace for the wicked.

Good news - thou won't count my chickens before there hatched, but rang the insurance company dealing with not going to Tunisia, as I dd (why?) had the letter addressed to her from the tour operaor saying after asking for further information, they have provided it, why address it to a 7 yr old? so rang the travel ins company incase they had asked for extra info, no it wasn't them. my claim is with the assessor and has been signed off as accepted, so they will notify me when the cheque will be paid.

So fingers crossed that go through soon.

Bad news - Darling Bailey decided he wanted to use the laptop the same time as me....... his claws pulled up about 5 letters and numbers, its a dell one, which means the keyboard needs replaceing, had a dodgy space bar (that was the start of the thread), we managed to patch it up, and then mum tripped over the wire, luckly she was going to sit down, so did no damage to herself, but her weight pulled the wire from the junction box of the charge lead, so that now been shortened and help with gaffa tape.... tld dad he owes me a new computer.... so far fallen on deaf ears.... (worth a try).

Off to try and do part 2 of this assisgnment, the 1st part, started at 6pm last ngt, bar loo breaks, went to bed at 3.30am, started again at 10.30am, just finished at 6.30pm...... def won't get all of q2 done, otherwise won't see my bed.

But have a treat to look forward to at the weekend, were off to Joseph and his tecnicolour dream coat, can't believe it was 18years ago when I 1st saw it, it had Philip Schofield in it, down in London, now its local.... its a family outing, thou nearly forgot about it, till my friend texted to say enjoy the show, as shes off to Windsor tatoo, so it was a mad rush to find the tickets and make sure we hadn't missed it....... so phew we were ok.

Enough of my ramblings for now xx

dizzy_lizzie

Wow, you are so busy. I would be whirling if I had all that to do. I've only seen Joseph on 'video' lol shows how long ago it was, and it's the version with Donny Osmond as Joseph. Very very good though. Hope you have a great time.
Good luck with assignments
