    WEEKLY LIST


    Email guy to try and arrange a visit for MA
    Try to do 1hr on masters every day
    Try and do some theory every day
    [STRIKE]Email teacher about programme for recital[/STRIKE]
    Buy present for friend and wrap by Wednesday
    Buy birthday present for niece
    Buy birthday present for mum
    Finish tiling the kitchen
    Gardening

    Start painting the kitchen

    I have decided that 1hr on my my dissertation is a lot to start with, it is already putting me off. Seeing as my HHCs are so productive I am going to change it to 30 mins for now. I will probably get more done in smaller bursts, otherwise I get distracted by the internet.

    I am getting friend's birthday present this afternoon and will wrap in the morning.

    Typical, I had decided to do some of my theory work, I had set the timer for 30 mins and was about 5 in when the floor men arrived. At least I will have lovely flooring in my kitchen soon. They have also delivered some vinyl for my hall so I will try and do that with OH at the weekend.

    I will lurk on the net until they have gone and then I will start again.
