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

Cheery_Daff

Well, I'm having an excellent evening :rotfl:

House tidy, detritus in bathroom cleared up (although tubs still under just in case...), Shred done (to Christmas music, no less, made it far more fun :rotfl:), and Christmas card production in full swing Oh, and I've got a nice cup of tea

I've enjoyed today, very much looking forward to my proper PhD-free weekends in the new year :T :T

beanielou

Glad you have had a good day & well done on card production

InaPickle

Sounds like a good day - hope you enjoyed it!. x

Cheery_Daff

I did indeed enjoy it, thank you

And last night I sat for an hour with my diary and wrote to do lists on pretty much every page of my diary between now and Christmas :eek: Made me feel organised, but also rather busy :eek:

Still, the sun's shining, pancakes for breakfast, and the whole day (well, nearly :rotfl:) ahead of me.... Let's see what we can get done! :T

Karmacat

Aha! You went :eek: as well, at the idea of all that to-do stuff :rotfl: still pancakes make it feel better

Cheery_Daff

I did indeed KC But I'm ploughing through today's list :j :j May as well stick it here to cross it off I suppose!

* [STRIKE]read and send chapters 5,6,7 and 8[/STRIKE] :j
* mind map chapters 9 and 10
* start writing chapter 10
* book and print train ticket for work tomorrow
* Shred
* finish making Christmas cards - getting there!
* [STRIKE]send party invites[/STRIKE] - having Christmas festivities here next Sunday
* [STRIKE]book ferry for holidays[/STRIKE] :T :T :T
* [STRIKE]investigate prize for work Christmas do[/STRIKE]
* sort house insurance (can't do today cos Mr Daffs needs to work out if we need to change or cancel - thinks we might actually have TWO lots of contents insurance but can't remember... need him to find documents first before I tackle it!
* sort food and clothes for work tomorrow

So not doing too badly! :T Just having a lunchtime pancake (with cheese and egg on) then off out for provisions and a little walk :T

Karmacat

Sounds good to me - was the walk nice?

Lemon_Tree

yes it's our horrible neighbours upstairs who won't do repairs.

glad you got started on your christmassy stuff, i think all i've got left now to do is buy an i tunes voucher or something else for my BIL. Still got to start wrapping everything up though, was going to start today but plans were all up in the air today.

Cheery_Daff

I had two walks in the end KC! :rotfl: One with Mr Daffs to the shops, and a longer one with ex-ex-mr-daffs through the snow into the countryside Both very nice thanks

Thats a good day! About the train ticket tho - I remember Martin nattering on on that programme he had, It Pays To Watch, that even if you book your ticket on the way to the station, its still cheaper?
