Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

Cheery_Daff

Although, re the email, in my defence, it was quite a delicate situation, given that I actually thought the woman who might be my potential boss was being a bit unhelpful... Anyway, all sorted out now (well, as far as I'm concerned! Not checking emails again til Thursday morning )

So - all packed and prepared for tomorrow Found an outfit that didn't require ironing - got to love those Polished boots Checked travel times - tube strike helpfully doesn't start til after I leave Snacks for train packed, and also activities - I'm on the train for 5 hours tomorrow :eek: so I've got a good deal of PhD stuff (kind of data entry, doesn't require much thinking), a little bit of work (writing reviews of a couple of courses I've been on/hotels stayed in etc that I keep not getting round to), and some cheery stuff (Christmas presents list from last year to see if I can poach any ideas! :T) Should keep me occupied! :T

Going to give friend a quick ring now and suggest I don't go round Partly feels a little mean, but she's mid-painting, and did say she'd call if she needed help. She's heading back off to Belgium tomorrow, so might not see her for a while. Then Shred, because if I keep putting the darn thing off it'll never get done :rotfl:

Then at the end I'll do today's update on progress against 50 day challenge goals :j :j

karma do you ever here off panda paws ? i remeber you posted on her diary ? xx

Karmacat

I don't, no - I have her email addy, but I think her main priority was getting her house done up the way she wanted, she felt very secure in her job so wasn't worried about keeping at comparatively high debt levels. I liked pandapaws
