    Well my maintainence grant is finally in my account :j so just need to pay off the £820 on my credit card :mad: and then put the rest in my isa before the tax year ends. I am also going to put the credit card in the freezer again as I clearly cannot be trusted with it! It is a Tesco credit card so I will be getting the points but I don't want to get to a stage where I can't pay off the balance as then the points won't be worth it.

    Must get cracking on my uni work before my list gets out of control! I am working 5-10 tonight and 9-5 tomorrow so I have a few hours now to do a few jobs and then tomorrow evening. I am also off on Monday so if I am focused and motivated can get a good days work done.

    Thought I would do my jobs list for tomorrow then in theory I shouldn;t mess about on the computer until it's completed. I have been good though and trying to do bits during my break times.

    Thursday jobs:
    Check online banking
    do ebay packing
    Type up singing
    Directing logbook
    Research "The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband"

    Not really got much time to do all the tasks for directing as the assessment is next Friday and I assume all written work needs to b e handed in then too. On a good note we break up 2 weeks on Friday :jso if I am a really good girl I can get caught up on all my work and do extra hours at work as well as ebaying for extra pennies.

    Thought that I would cross off my completed jobs to spur myself on whilst I'm on a roll!

    Ideally I want to do more jobs than I have set myself today so I can make even more progress, but I will be happy if I just complete today's jobs.

    Not feeling very happy at the moment and need to make sure that my life is taking the path that I would like. I am sure it is just another blip but they are happening far too frequently. Just need to make sure that I stay focussed and motivated on my uni work as don't want to get behind, especially if I do decide this degree is right for me. Am adding a few more jobs but it is just becasue I want to break down some of the tasks so I can cross them off more frequently and this should help my motivation.

    On a good note my savings are looking goodish! My mum has £700 as I give her £100 a month but I may up this so that by September she has £2000 and that should cover my bus pass for the year and my fees. I also have £1700 is my isa which is enough to pay off holiday and most of the spending money I would like to take. I thought that as it's all inclusive I wouldn't be spending much but I want to do alot of excursions like going to Cairo and Luxor for the day and that is expensive. But as I always say I would rather have too much than not enough and I don't need to spend it all.

    Well I better go as need to leave for work at 4.30pm and want to complete some jobs.

    Need to work harder :mad: But need to get out of this very low mood I am in, but that's harder than it sounds. I just watched 'Marley and Me' and as it's sad at the end I had a little cry but once the flood gates opened I couldn't stop. I really don't want to go back and end up on that dark place again so I am trying to stay focussed on my uni work but it's proving hard.

    Was in a really bad place and didn't go in to uni at all last week or do any of my work. I was seriously considering leaving but I am feeling more positive today and will be doing some work. I am back in uni tomorrow and I am going to talk to my tutor to make sure I am doing the right course and I am on the right path.

    I have still been strict with money but only as I havn't been out of the house, except work at the weekend, so that's good. But don't know what is going on with Zurich and uni so will hopefully find out a price tomorrow and can plan for it, do my budget for next month and then put any excess money into isa before tax year ends.
