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

lotti379

Your little light was still green when I posted! Honest!

*feels rather guilty and hurriedly takes slap back* :rotfl:

And that sounds like an excellently productive couple of hours! :j

I tried to have lunch and a cuppa with Mr Lotti, but he is thoroughly immersed in the latest rented game... bless. Trouble is, I like it too and want him to stop playing for a bit so I can play instead!

Still, work to finish so shouldn't start playing silly games until after that...

So what is being done in this remodelling of the kitchen?

Goodness knows Lotti! :rotfl: I'll wait and see

Been for wellie stomping walk

Right then, Mr Daffs has gone out for a couple of hours, so I'm trying to work out what to fit in! :T :T

I think I'd like the focus to be on making sure the week ahead goes smoothly I've got lots to do, PhD-wise, but also I'll be visiting family after work on Friday (for a party) and staying on Saturday to deliver presents, so I've got to make sure they're all ready! There's a couple of small things I need to make (and I suspect there's one or two things I've entirely forgotten about...). I also need to get ready for work tomorrow, and plan what needs doing on the PhD, what I can take on the train, what I can do in the evenings etc...

So, I'm thinking (in no particular order)...

* plan PhD work for the week - decide what needs doing each day, decide what needs taking on the train for the next 3 days
* go through Christmas presents list - wrap and label what I have, and list what I still need to get and make - decide when to get/make things and put in the diary (might be more effective trying to make on the train than work? not sure yet)
* shower and wash hair
* make pancakes to take for lunch tomorrow
* get clothes and bag ready for tomorrow, polish shoes
* sit down with budget - seem to have spent more this week than I could have done with spending so have to make sure it doesn't get out of hand!
* package book ready to post to friend tomorrow

Sounds like a plan to me! :j :j Challenge is to do it in 2 hours...

Goodness - sounds like a busy evening planned! In case I don;t "see" you about later - hope your launch into full time work tomorrow goes well.

Thanks EH

Quite a successful evening :j :j

- phd work planned for week, and stuff for train working tomorrow organised and in bag :T
- hair washed :T
- Christmas presents wrapped, and list made of things still to buy (only a couple, mostly food related so can be done in evening :T) and to make (very simple, and not many)
- book wrapped to post to friend tomorrow
- lunch sorted

So - just need to polish shoes, and we're done for tonight! :T :T Budget still needs sorting, but that can be done tomorrow Not a bad evening I don't think! :T

I must say I'm not relishing the prospect at having to get up at 6.30 tomorrow :rotfl: :rotfl: I've not been at work since 16th December, that's more than 3 weeks! :rotfl: :rotfl: So I suspect it'll come as a bit of a shock, especially since I have to be there all week :rotfl:

Still, I'm sure I can manage Might be on here a little less though :rotfl:

I think you might! And I agree, that was an incredibly productive evening.

Best of luck for work tomorrow.

Thanks KC :T Just squeezed in a quick bit of online banking - and found that I'd had some expenses paid from before Christmas - £25! :T So that sorts out the little blip I had earlier in the week (including the wellies :rotfl:) and means budget is all fine and on track

(can't wait for new budget though, starting 31st Jan :T But I'm trying not to wish it too much closer, because the PhD's got to be done before then :rotfl:)

Best go to bed I suppose!

Such exciting times for you! Enjoy your night in The Palace
