I'm really, really stressed ... but I don't have much of a reason to be. Need to learn to breathe and unwind a bit methinks...

Bought Perfume by Patrick Suskind(??), might go read the first chapter now, then start getting through more paperwork...

:grouphug: It looks a bit odd but it is a cwtch to make you feel better x

Chin up hun everyone has days like that

Am liking the making perfume idea

misslauren

Thanks Jojitsui.. Feeling a little better today

I'm almost halfway through reading Perfume by Patrick Suskind... that man is such a descriptive writer. It's really making me want to get into this perfumery course ASAP...

misslauren

Wow... very early. So, spent most of yesterday packing up mum's car with stuff to move, have all the essentials in her house now (well, really most of them are still in the car, too many sets of stairs to lug it all down then up in one hot day!).

Still waiting on the money to come through from the boy, and I realise that this is what has been stressing me out. Think I'll send him another email.. Really do need that money.

Also need to start going through and figuring out which bits and pieces of furniture to save up for. I want a writing desk... that much I know. If I could find a shallow tallboy and some sort of deep draw system to put inside my built in that would save up some space too, and would like to do that as much as possible.

Hmm... probably should have got a little more sleep before work, but I guess I have time for breakfast now

Glad ur feeling better hun
Just realised you might not no what a cwtch is... its hug to us Welshies
Tell boy to give you the money or Jojitsui will jojitsui his @ss into next week

misslauren

Thanks for the explanation, was a little confused

I've sent the boy another message asking him to please transfer it today.. as far as I'm concerned I'm not seeing him until I get it... And If I don't, not worrying about him anymore!

Have decided I want to make my mum a perfume as a wedding present in August

misslauren

Well I got a message from the boy at 11 last night saying the funds have been transferred... and for his sake I'm glad that he did it, I would have been pretty p^$#ed off about if he hadn't when I asked him to. Still.. with the weekend I'll be lucky to get it by Tuesday, but at least its on its way.

Absolutely scorching last night, had a 40 degree yesterday and its going to be 40 again today, and unfortunately the air conditioning doesn't get to the bedrooms. I think I might need to pick up a standing fan, I was lucky to sleep last night.

Going to finish bringing up my stuff from the car and moving in today... so I think I'll get started on that very, very quickly. Then the plan is uni work, catch up with dad for lunch tomorrow.. and not a whole lot else! Might finish reading perfume

What a lovely wedding present

Glad he has finally sorted it.

if it makes you feel any better about your 40 degrees it is freezing and raining her would love a bit of sun.

Sorry to hear about the weather, sounds like we've all had it a little tough! :cool:

Need to finish getting my room sorted, as much as is possible, today. Main problem being I really need to buy some extra storage options, which isn't really realistic right now.. So I'll just need to make do with what I have for the time being.

Once pay from boy comes through I'm going to transfer another $100-150 off my laptop, which will bring that down to $600-$550 to pay off. Need to concentrate on one debt at time.

My foundation perfume course will be around $250, I also want to pick up some piano beginners books... pay my invigilator as well as save for my desk/storage stuff/new textbooks. Sigh...

Ok... Better get some study in this morning..
