Evening Diary,

Well as predicted could I get to sleep last night... no! 1.30 was the last time I checked... alarm went off at 6am up at 6.06am!! By the sounds of it half the school were tossing and turning until 2am!

Had a really good day at work other than the pupil database not working but that wasn't just us it was the whole district... imagine coming back to having to fix that on your first day back in IT!

Did everything I needed to this morning including the washing which is now over the airer. Got to work 20 minutes early aswell

Today has been NSD3 and I've just updated my shopping order for tomorrow.

Food today has been like this:
Breakfast - porridge
Lunch - BLT and pops crisps
Tea - Pasta bake with wholemeal pasta and tear and share garlic bread (I took my portion straight away so I knew I wasn't overeating!)
Snacks - banana, satsuma, strawberry mullerlight

Ive still got my nakd bar and grapes at work so will have those tomorrow when I haven't got such a calorific tea! Ive also had lots of water and a couple of cups of tea but I don't count the milk in my drinks as don't want to take it too far!

DD2 is just at her first beavers session and about to get DD1 to get ready for cubs. From next week DD2s friend will collect her on the way round and I've said we will take friend home whilst dropping DD1 off. Saves 1 journey down there making it 4 trips to school in a day rather than 5!!

Think thats all from me, payday tomorrow :j xx

Sounds like a great day! I tossed and turned till 1am and then managed to sleep.. work was really on my mind, but haven't a clue why. Our whole IT systems went pop, so totally unproductive for first few hours!

Good meal plan, we had wholemeal pasta too!

Glad you had a good day but another busy evening, that would be good to share the trips from next week saves a lot of time for all.

Well done on the food, I'm definitely drinking too much tea so I will get a water bottle ready for tomorrow and make sure I drink at least two through the day.

Hope you manage to get a restful night's sleep.

Afternoon Diary,

Payday :j enough said!

Well I enjoyed a lovely sleep last night! So lovely I didn't want to get up when the alarm went off! 6.09am this morning. Got to work 25 mins early this morning! I nipped for petrol before work as you can never gauge how busy it will be and this morning it was dead!

Just waiting for Mr T's to bring my shopping, spends for today:

£35.42 topping up with petrol
£85 approx on my shop

Oh so some goodish news. I was telling my friend at work about my straighteners and she told me she had a similar fault with hers so sent them off to G*D. Thought id try my luck so rung them and they've opened up a case for me. Not sure if they will repair them at this stage but totally worth a shot!

Food today is looking like this:

Breakfast: Weetabix
Snacks: Nakd bakewell bar (LOVE these!) and satsuma
Lunch: BLT, Muller yog and grapes
Tea: Hunters chicken, sweet potato wedges and peas
Plus drank loads of water too. Feeling really good at the minute and not hungry at all.

Thanks for popping in DF0D and Chrysalis, hope you managed to get a decent sleep last night DF and Chrysalis hope you drank more water today!! Have you seen those water bottles you can get where it measures out how much you should drink per hour? They are quite pricey but I like the look of them!

So think thats all from me. Were home now, no running about tonight thankfully! Just need Mr T's to hurry up and get here now! xx

Evening Diary,

Im glad weve reached the half way point in the week, flagging a bit!

A smallish spend day today:
£4.40 postage on my straighteners
£9 in Mr A's on the bits they didn't bring and party bags for DD2s party

I literally have not stopped since getting home, took the dog on a power walk to school with me, ironed, took girls to gymnastics, popped to Mr A's. Came home realised TD is broken, so brought the washing back in from the garage, cooked tea plus crustless quiche for lunches and prepped salad and fruit for tomorrow. Just had a shower and now I'm shattered!

So TD, I knew there was something wrong the other day when DH said the bedding had been in for 180 minutes and still not dry :eek:. Went to use it tonight and all the front panel has broken. I can't complain I've had 11 years out of it and tbh I don't use it that often its just towels and bedding that I need it for.

Food diary for today:
Breakfast - porridge
Snacks - satsuma, cereal bar, banana and skips
Lunch - HM leek and potato soup, wholemeal thin and banana and custard mullerlight
Tea: Jacket potato, cheese and beans and a salad

I think thats all from me. Hope all ok x

Nearly there, Friday is looming, keep going!

Chrysalis1976

Woohoo Friday tomorrow :j

Has today been another busy one or have you been able to chill out a bit?

Bad news on the tumble dryer, are you looking to replace it or do without for a while?

Well done on your healthy food each day, yes I have been making an effort to drink lots more water during the day I need it even more when I'm teaching!
