Well, I was hoping today would be NSD no.5, but we need bread......!!!! :mad:

With 10 remaining days of September I have a feeling I won't make my target of 12 NSD's, I know I will be spending tomorrow, wednesday and friday, so I might squeeze 10 NSD's out of the rest of September (Allowing a couple of days for stuff I haven't thought of yet!!) BUT on the positive side this has made me much more aware of where I am 'wasting' money, I must admit I was probably making daily trips for shopping and that has been cut right back to maybe 2-3 times a week (one main shop and a couple for things like bread and milk) so I am feeling very proud of myself :j AND it means I know for next month where I can cut back.

Right I am hoping to have essay number one finished by......lets say 3pm today......and then I can knuckle down to essay number two.......so lets say 3pm-10pm (allowing for breaks!!) tonight, a few hours tomorrow and then a few hours on tuesday and it will be in the post wednesday (well it HAS to be - otherwise I fail the whole course:eek:)

Right off I go..........I am not procrastinating at all..............really I'm not............I'm going right now.............well, maybe after reading a few more diaries:rotfl:..............

Ok, maybe I will have a NSD, I have some of those par-baked bread rolls in my freezer so will get them out for lunches tomorrow, so I won't have to go buy bread :j.

Have almost finished essay number one, 750 words to go, and then I will read it over tomorrow with fresh eyes before I print and post.

Am just having a quick break and then I will crack on again!

OH has gone fishing and the kids have been banished downstairs with the threat of death if they disturb me or make any noise, so we'll see how long that lasts!!

I promise myself after every single last minute essay that I will never leave it so late again, but I find I just can't write them weeks in advance, terrible really, and as I will be doing 90 points at Level 3 in October I will HAVE to be a better organised learner otherwise it will all fall apart, I have two different friends each doing one of the two courses I am doing, so maybe with their help I will get there........then this time next year I will have letters after my name :T

Right, 10 more minutes of perusing the internet before I write these last 750 words - you wouldn't believe I could struggle to write would you, some of these posts have been a few hundred words - trouble is in uni essays they don't allow you to waffle........pmsl.........

I'm needing to step up the game no more sweets

I won't even confess what I've eaten, lets just say the words cheese, fresh cream, dairy milk, 1/4 lb, eclair, chocolate and burger would be part of the same sentence:o , but thats just the start of it!!! I am going full on from tomorrow cos as of next week I will be weighing at Slimming World again, and I'll get told off!!! :eek:

Essay number one has gone, posted it today :j, am starting essay number two tonight, I have done all the prep work (well about 80% of it) but its just a case of writing it and all that jazz!!

I haven't got the barbies out yet, but I promise as soon as I do I will be putting pics up, they are ACE!!! (cor haven't used that term since the late 80's!!)

Anyways, I am off shopping in a bit (while I wait for DS at cadets) so I have to finish my shopping list, I have spent £11.14 in tesco, and plan to spend about £15-20 at Lidls and that should be all we need for the week, this 10 day plan is a revelation, I'm so glad I've been doing it, I would say its nearly halved my shopping bill cos I'm not popping out every evening for something for dinnner and then spending £6-7. :A

Cheers guys, am loving the support x

Ok, am 50% through essay number 2, so should have it finished by the wee hours - I got 4 hours sleep on sunday when I was finishing essay number one, so I'm guessing its going to be another late night session tonight!!

What am I doing on here I hear you ask? Well I've been at it (the essay) since 5 pm, I stopped for something to eat but thats it, pretty much constant, SO I'm having a 10 minute break!!!

My bums gone numb, my back is killing from hunching over the laptop, I'm tired and I have a migraine, but apart from all that its going really well!!! I'm actually very pleased with what I have written thus far, and I'm on the home straight now, just literally 3 more 500 word sections to do (about 3 hours more work - I may have to finish it at work tomorrow!!) and then I can email it to myself so I can print it out at work (2p per sheet - which is way cheaper than my ink AND its a much better quality)

I'm hoping that if I dazzle the markers with my professionally looking bound piece of work with a contents page and full colour annotated appendices they won't actually read the assignment, they'll just say "wow, that's gotta be a distinction piece of work" - I need 60 points at level 3 to get a first degree, in both of these courses my marks for the first three assignments have averaged 86 & 87 % overall, so I need 85%+ in this one to get my distinction so cross your fingers, legs, eyes, whatever you have that can be crossed, I really want this first............

I only want it to prove to my teachers who made me feel I was never quite good enough (went to a grammar school) that I was worthy of their attention and I wanna go back with my degree certificate and say "Stick that in your pipe and smoke it! I might never have been the brightest of the grammar school brigade but look at me now, i got a degree while working full time, bringing up a family and all without your help".........
..YAY ME!!!!:T

Right, am going back to the grindstone.................wish me luck!
