well - it was worth finishing the never ending survey - took me up to enough points for another 5 pound amazon voucher - so now I've got 15 quid for amazon for christmas - should be enough to get my mum a good pressie from her list
And offset the money I've just prespent from my wages tomorrow on some jewellry for her from a matrix member:o:o BUT it will be absorbed into the grocery budget so will all work out ok

YAYYYYYYYYYYY
Payday!!!
Just took Soph to the docs - she's got anti biotics now. Went to her school this morning with William drop him off, mentioned why Sophia wasn't in and the school secretary told me not to bring her back!
So a day off and quite frankly I quickly got over any guilt I might have felt about missing a day off work!! However, I will be doing work here anyway.

Right...I'd love tomorrow to be a NSD but as the car is getting close to running off fumes, I will probably have to go get petrol. so apart from that!

Well, got 3 to go, but my kind-of-like dad rang me from Switzerland, so not complaining!! Actually, it was a bit of a wake up call - he's 58, but has a very unusual health condition, which he did tell me what it was, but I've forgotten - it's to do with his connective tissue in his body. Anyway, it affected his heart and so he was in hospital in September. It's reminded me to cultivate my relationships with family and friends much more. One regret I have from when Rosie (my kind of like mum) had cancer was that I was far too self absorbed with my life (the alcoholism was rife at this point) and I never really contacted her that much and then she suddenly died. So I really want to ensure I never have those regrets again.
Anyway, got these 3 books to do, and won't get the other stuff done, but I'm pleased anyway.
Need to update my little spending diary sheet (handwritten, no smart thing on the computer lol).

Buffy - did you get them done?! I see your light is off, so perhaps you're madly marking now
Or just sitting there with head on table wishing for a magical marking fairy to arrive and *puff* all marked with FABULOUS feedback on every piece of work? No? Just me who does that then lol.
