Ok we are back. I didn't get the shoe/coat rack thigy as it was way too big. Found a nice shoe rack but then not nice coat rack to go with it so didn't get it. I will find a solution for all the shoes in the hall way and coats hanging on the post of the stair case one day.
But I did get a nice bed for DD for what I thought was a bargain price. And I think that will last with her until she leaves home and even then it will be nice bed/sofa for spare bedroom. Also I got a very cheap wardrobe thingy for my hanging clothes. That can be then freegled if I ever get my own house and bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
And no I am not going to assemble either of them today. What I would like to get done is to dismantle DD's present bed and chuck it out. She can sleep on the mattress on the floor for couple of nights.
I have big empty box in the dining room and that is now been named as "to the car boot". I have a sneaky feeling that next Saturday while DD is with her dad a lot of the stuff from her room is going to end up there. Must hide the box thou or if she notices what I have done the stuff just might walk back. Or we just need to do a big culling of soft toys together.
ETA: old bed is dismantled and chucked out. Will ask BF to take it to the dump. It is waaaayyy beyond practical use. New bed can't be put together as some idiot here didn't realise that I have one box missing so now I have to go back for it. Pah!"Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Ok I have rectified my yesterday's blunder. I have now all the bits for the bed. Won't be able to do it tomorrow as it is swimming night but definitely it will go up on Wednesday. Then Thursday I might get my wardrobe assembled.
I am pooped thou but not in a bad way. It is nine o'clock which can mean only one thing - New Tricks and stitching, byeee.....
Oh darn, I forgot to eat tea, for situations like this I really need to have some kind of back up plan as starting to defrost piece of meat at this time is not practical and I already had a salad with cheese today (and I don't have any lettuce left for tomorrow - poo!!!)
Ok I shall go and sort myself out, tomorrows lunch has to come from Mr T then (5 minute drive from work)
ETA: egg and tuna omelette - here I come..."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

I can't tell how I feel. I feel like shouting and I feel like crying but on the other hand I don't feel anything. I am just emotionless observer who is very very tired and really hungry.
I know this is my own fault as I didn't go and make anything to eat last night and I didn't go and get lunch from Mr T, just settled with the tiny bowl of salad with slice of roast beef from canteen. Hardly sustainable especially as we have been out of the house for more than 12 hours.
Also I am sooooo frustrated at work. These are yet again those few days with nothing to do before next month end is here and we are busy again. I can't even research the net as the biggest whistle blower when it comes to net usage during working hours has straight view to my screen. Tomorrow I am just going to tidy up all the loose ends and then get on with my PER objectives. That should look enough like working.
Plan for tonight, get food!!! Do stitching, crash..."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

I am not very successfull ebayer. I have tried to get a second hand kneeling chair to use to do cross stitching. As my back starts hurting on the normal chair. Ones I was outbid by 2 pounds and then two times I was outbid by one pound. So I went to ebay shops and got one new one with BIN. It is still cheaper than getting one from the high street shop and even the shop would have had to order it.
Also more money spending: I have booked an appointment with a acupuncturist for Saturday. I am really looking forward to it. Hoping to get help with three or my problems: depression, back problem and migraines. I think they all are linked anyway.
Off to watch last bit of the Super Nanny and do some stitching. I slept my normal 7 hours last night but despite that had serious trouble waking up this morning. Must get better sleep tonight. Oh and work has perked up so I am happier.
There is this big project coming up and managers keep disappearing to meetings and we are not informed about anything. I know that there will be lot of involvement in the countries which entities I am looking after at the moment. I really want to get my fingers into that pie and am trying not to take it as personal insult if I am left to do what I do now and the job gets given to somebody else. But can't help [STRIKE]worrying[/STRIKE] wondering about it."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."
