Typical - I just checked the Uni library and my book that i put on hold is there waiting.....oh well:)

Milly maybe you could post on the Student Board to get tips/motivation for study skills etc?

Good luck with the weight loss, Hypno and Benben are doing well so that might inspire you when you read their progress.

Well done on putting up the trampoline yourself, brownie points for good mum for you :A

Good idea about the Student board.....I really am very bad at motivating myself...everyone else seems so keen and hardworking:o
But - I did get the marks back from the assignment I handed in a couple of weeks ago. I was worried it wouldn't scrape a pass...of 40. But, it got 64 and a well done:rotfl: Getting good marks does give me a boost. I'm very lucky in that I seem to be able to produce what they want...all my marks have been goos, so maybe I shouldn't worry too much about everyone else churning out loads;)

Weight loss - 3 good WW days so far, so fingers crossed! I know after starting WW several times over the years that the 1st week is always the managed 8 of them and didn't have the sheer strength for any more:p
Shame the weather's been so utterly bad that they haven't been able to get out on it, hopefully the sun will appear for the hols:cool:

Hoooray for school holidays:beer: (especially good if you work in a school;);))
Nothing exciting to report - girls out at cheerleading, dinner is on - jacket potatoes with chicken for them and coleslaw for me. WW is going well....but I'm hungry:rotfl: Must buy some fruit to nibble on, we're a bit low right now. I've used about 5 points of my daily 18 today - oooh that's les than I thought so might have a treat tonight:D

Girls off with their dad tomorrow morning until Saturday afternoon, then we're off to see my sis and Mum. Girls staying with my sis on Saturday, I'm sleeping at Mum's (so I can have a bed, not the sofa - normally i don't mind but right now I need to sleep:p) Sun + Mon night the 3 of us will all stay at Mum's and come home on Tuesday.

Must crack on with more reading for this essay tomorrow - nothing much else planned, just around-the-house stuff. Might compile an 'Easter hols to do list':p:p:p

Nearly an NSD yesterday, untilI bought the girls some sketching pencils from ebay - but it was MSE as the ones I looked at in WHS last week were £5, the ones on ebay were £2 so I bought them a pack each. They love art and have been sketching a lot, but only have a couple of decent pencils. Might keep them amused for the hols;) So, only that £5 spent yesterday.

Withdrew £15 from Paypal and have £83 on its way from Quidco - darn bank holidays holding it up though:p

I've posted an ebay parcel today and nipped to the shop, where I bought 2 bottles of coke for 67p each and 2 boxes of Lindor chocs for the girls for Easter - expensive tastes my 2:rotfl: But they were £4 each or 2 for £6, so not too bad.

Off to my sister's later - girls staying there tonight and I'm sleeping at Mum's up the road. Tomorrow we are going to take all the kids down to the beahc and have a wander and ice cream, then Mum's cooking dinner for us all. Not sure about Monday - I might take my 2 into the town for a wander, see if I can find any clothes for DD1, she keeps growing;) And is very fussy - she has to choose things herslef, if I try it's always wrong!

House is looking quite tidy - I plan to have a good clean and sort out next week. I thinkI'll get some Spring clothes on ebay too - hopefully people will be buying that now. Loads of stuff to go to the tip too - luckily DD2 thinks it's great fun going there and throwing the stuff in the huge skips - so I'll have a helper:D

Right, I'm off to read some of my college book, have just over an hour til girls back and we can get on our way then:p

Happy Easter people:easter_os:easter_os:easter_os

Happy Easter Sunday if you're reading!

Good start for me - £5 on the scratchcard:beer::beer:
Am at my mum's right now, tis a lovely day so will take the girls down to the beach for an ice cream later with my sis and her gang. Then having dinner back here....must keep to WW, I've been soooo good this week - am full of motivation, will have to weigh in on Wed not Monday, no scales here.

SO, LSD here - just the ice cream later. YesterdayI bought petrol, that's all.

Ok, off I go:D

Arghhhhhh just typed out a big update and then stupidly deleted it all.

Ok - my good news, 3lb off this week:beer::beer:

Been busy clearing out the shed and demolishing old rabbit hutch this morning. Have done one trip to the tip and about to go again. Nice to get the junk out at last.

Money wise, not much going on - HB went in today....was due Mon, so expected it yesterday, better late than never today I guess;)

£1 in Spends account til tomorrow's tax credits go in. DD1 is off to the cinema tomorrow with her friend, friend owes me £6 for her ticket as I booked them. DD2 and I might have a little wander round the shops while DD1 watching Mr Pattinson:p

Must sort out my studying and get cracking on the essay - will have a look at my books later. Off to pack the car now for another tip trip:rotfl:
