Me too starnac, we must be twins! Good feeling to get it all done isn't it? Usually feel embarrassed about not getting loads done...;)

Morning! Have just walked the dog and managed to get caught in a sunny hailstorm - how does that work? The hailstones were massive and really hurt!

Anyway, today is a "back to uni/school work" day - I have had 4 complete days off and now have to get back to it. Including today there are 11 more days before I go back to school and there's tons of uni work and assignments to get done too - the course is in its last phase now and it seems that the time is running away with me!



So, my list....

• Write a list of everything that needs doing and try to map it out over the next week with regards to what to do when
• Do the work allocated for today
• Do one job application - about 4 or 5 have recently come up all closing around April 12th so better get cracking (they take absolutely ages to do too)
• Make fajitas for tea from fresh stuff in the fridge
• All other food from stores
• Check banks - has my bursary been paid early because of Easter?
• Walk dog again for free exercise
• Try to have a NSD - joined the NSD challenge for April so will try hard to stick to it!
• Used up a Clarins face treatment thingy - have lots of skin care bits and pieces just have to use them!
• Do one load of washing and dry naturally (not outside!)
• Phone bank about letter they sent - I paid a loan off early and they said that I may be eligible for a refund on the loan insurance - even if its a teeny bit it's all money!

Right better get on with it - have a good day!

Oooh! I forgot....
I borrowed two books from my sister to read over the next couple of weeks rather than buying new ones - a breakthrough for me! I have joined the library too but never seem to have the time to get there.


And just checked bank and bursary has been paid - hurrah!
The new April budget starts here! (Scary but has to be done!)

sorry that tickled me and made me laugh out loud! Not being mean but remined me of when that happened o me and it does hurt!!!

- the course is in its last phase now and it seems that the time is running away with me!

stick with it the last few months are really tough but it passes. I was ready to quit 3 months before my finals, luckily my tutor talked me out of it. Sleep deprivation over a short period is doable, nd I slept like a baby over the summer after the exams with my degree certificate! x

:beer: a celebratory drink for when ur finished x

Morning campers! :hello:

Hope everyone is well and happy - sunshine here! I've had a really productive week so feeling very positive: got loads of uni work done, got my essay mark back which I am so pleased with and lost another 1 and half pounds at weigh in last night :T

DFW has been good as well - beginning of the week all NSDs, yesterday I bought DH's b-day present from ebay - £7 for an x-box 360 game! Hoping to be just as frugal over the weekend and also to relax and have fri-mon off (no uni reading) - I think I deserve it!



Anywoo, my list:

• Have been to Tescos and done the weekly shop - stuck to budget:)
• Returned lib books - had to pay a fee, boo!
• Gone through spending diary - 14 NSD's in March!
• Go through again and highlight 'wasted money' items
• Finish cup of tea and then take pup on a nice long walk
• Meeting a friend for lunch - will be a nice catch up
• Be carefulk with what have for lunch
• Tea from meal plan tonight
• Couple of hours uni reading this afternoon
• Aqua-aerobics tonight - use free pass

Right thats it for me
Have a lovely day all
