Doing quite well with the work but my eyes are starting to hurt so will take a break from the laptop for a bit.Morning all! Horrible here in Manchester too - just walked the dog in very windy, cold wet weather - he wasn't even keen!
Had a really poor night's sleep too - just couldn't settle, I think all of the job applying, uni work and generally panicking about the future isn't helping. Never mind - have lots to do so just better get on with it.
Today's list....- Do another job app - started it last night so shouldn't take too long
- Go to PC World for ink for printer so I can print them all off to post tomorrow - went to Mr Ts just to see if they had any and they did and it was cheaper - hurrah!
- Start final uni assignment (7000 words:eek:) - aim to write the first 2000 words - done 2700 words so far, quite pleased with that
- All food from stores
- Stay in this afternoon whilst OH goes out to watch footy with mates - he's gone, peace and quiet!
- Check banks - nothing moving
- Put the dry washing away
- Walk dog for free exercise - done
- Clean bathrooms
- Have a LSD apart from the printer ink
Might watch a bit of Frost from last night!0 -
