Morning all!
Lovely day here up north too! Already been to the park for an hour with the dog - it's lovely seeing him bombing around off his lead chasing the birds and squirrels. I'm sure he smiles!
Today is another lovely day of school work - never mind, only 3 weeks to a 2 week Easter holiday!
Went to see The Crazies last night at the cinema - its really quite good, worth a trip if you like scary stuff.
Anyway, today's efforts...- Write 4 more lessons
- Fill in 1 job application
- Bath smelly dog
- Clean bathrooms
- Pop round shop for bargain toilet roll - saw it yesterday but only had my emergency dog walking pound with me
- Wash towels
- Make sausage and mash in giant yorkshire puddings for tea
- Get cards ready to post

Morning everyone!
Hope you're all having a nice weekend - and I just LOVED Shopaholic's mantra! I do hate when you 'accidentally' purchase something - it happens a lot to me, so I must be accident-prone!:p
Have had a rotten saturday, loaded with the cold and generally feeling pretty grotty (and snotty!). Upside is that it helped reduce my spending!
Saturday:
- Took train to go to tutorial - cost £3.65 rather than wasting petrol and paying £8.00 for parking.
- Didn't feel well enough for food, so had some of my saver brand Paracetamol (cost me 16p!) and 2 cups of tea (80p each) for lunch!
- Stayed in last night as unwell, so saved on going out for dinner and had a takeaway!
So YES, having a cold DOES have a positive effect after all!!!:T
Today, I'm hoping to:
- Do washing (on 30, rather than 40)
- Start at least one of my essays, both due in in a fortnight
- Make a big pot of soup (perfect for getting me through this cold!)
- Check internet banking
- Do daily clicks - Missed em yesterday!
- Sort through stuff for ebay (will list when there's another free listing day)
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend! It goes so fast!
