Ooh - I had a late afternoon nap and am feeling now like a different person. We were meant to go and do some food shopping but then I "passed out" so have now rummaged through the freezer for tea.

Nothing productive has been done today (apart from plucking my first pheasant which is going to the SC tomorrow with her friend for our tea :j) So hoping to get something done tomorrow and yes the shopping can't be delayed or I need to do one evening after work which is a real no no.

I still have bit stuffy nose and cough but I am thinking of sneaking out for a gentle run tomorrow morning just to see how it feels after all this time of not running. Might aim for a gentle 1 mile out and 1 mile back. I can always walk back if I "hit the wall".

Off to finish watching total wipeout with DD before popping her to bed.

Came home a bit tired, not too bad thinking of getting super organised. And then got an email from ex. I can't believe how much effect he still has on me (none of it positive). I seem to go to total freeze every time I need to deal with him. I actually had to ask DD to leave me alone for a little while, I said that I was upset about something that I read. She was very good about it and actually listened me for once.

Also I am so tired of being cold. I so miss my old house. It was nice and comfy and didn't cost a fortune to keep warm. Here I paid £90 for gas in December and I can't really say that I am comfortable. I know that if I take DD out of this country ex could get courts to come after me but what if he can't find me? He would probably start looking from where I am originally from but I wouldn't go there. I have something a lot warmer in mind.

Anyway about that super organised thing. I am going to have a run tomorrow morning before work (yes I am still aching from the short slow jog I did yesterday) that means leaving the house at 7.20 with change of clothes, shower stuff, breakfast and lunch all packed ready. So better go now and do brekkie and lunch for tomorrow, put my wash bag ready and do list of all the other items that I will need. I must be mad!!!

Oh and my tax credits are now sorted and actually I get paid more this year than I estimated so at least one phone call less to do. Phew...

Sound's like your getting there with the organising stuff.
As for ex, how about baking bread,but mix the dough by hand and pretend the dough is his head, I use to do that when I worked at the factory note to self, must start bread making again.

Very tired today. It has been absolutely mental at work and first time ever I didn't complete my tasks that I had for me on the timetable. The fact that the printer packed up and my excel crashed again (losing a lot of work done - must remember to keep saving every time I updated something) wasn't helping. But on the other hand I can't wait to get back on Monday to complete the lot as Monday shouldn't be too busy and I should have plenty of time to catch up.

Just about to cook some tacos (taco kit whoopsied due to damaged box :T) so updating quckly.

This week minuses:
- email from ex
- letter from court; court date set for 18th of February
- Frustration at work due to tools that either don't work or work very slowly or crash
- House is very cold, lucky now it is a bit warmer outside so should get a bit more comfortable
- Been very tired

This week plusses:
- Went running before work Tuesday and Thursday
- Been cooking from storecupboard and haven't been in shops
- Updated spreadsheets to the end of January
- Got tax refund
- Have school clubs and shcool lunches paid on time and council tax
- Like my work despite the frustration
- Started working on a cross stitch kit I have had for a long time, loving it
- Sent yet another letter to get FF sorted for the last loan and have the money in savings account for it stashed away if they accept it

All in all good week if it wasn't for tiredness, coldness and that pending court thingy.

Saturday school tomorrow morning, I shall take my xstitch with me. BF might be here on Sunday morning so that I can have a lie in. That would be great. What I might do is that on the court date I am going to book a massage after the court (have taken half day off from work and I don't think it is going to take that long), that would be wonderful relaxing treat.

:jWoohoo to tax refund:j
Oooooo massage:) ,which type? swedish? aromatherpy? Back? or indan head massage? Which ever one it is enjoy yourself.

Thanks boult I think I'll go for therapeutic body massage :j

Might need to sack tooth fairy as she did a bit of a botched job last night. DD lost one of her teeth yesterday, brushed it and put under her pillow and it was 7 this morning when I remembered I hadn't done the switch. So I shot out of bed and of course DD woke up and of course I didn't manage to get hold of the tooth. Anyway she got her money and doesn't seem to be bothered that tooth fairy was so busy that in the rush she dropped the tooth. I have now taken it away and can say the tooth fairy noticed the mistake and came back for it. Phew...

She is now happy munching satsumas, I shall cook some porridge later. Or BF might come here and do it as he is coming to the Saturday school with us. They have adults classes as well. So DD is with the children's class, BF with adult's class and I can have a natter in my native language and do my cross stitch. :T
