    Benbenandme is as proud as a proud proud thing ... I've managed to find the wireless router installation cd and after two hours of faffing with it am pleased to report I have managed to set up the new laptop to work wirelessly and have managed to secure the network, woohoo :j :j :j

    Morning all, today I want to carry on writing things to do in my book as it seemd to help last night, its so rewarding being able to cross things off :D Yesterday I crossed off paying Next (remember I had the money saved ages ago but still hadn't got round to actually paying it :o), and getting the computer working wirelessly again which makes a huge difference to my general mood as I can then take it to bed in the evening :)

    Nothing much planned for today after school, will try and get some more jobs done.

    Yesterday I had to go to a meeting at school and it gave me the chance to speak to the ed psych aftwards and ask her advice about the effect of everything thats going on on ds. She was very helpful and at least I feel a bit clearer about things going forward ;)

    It sounds as though the fog is shifting in more ways than one - I am sure that you and DS have a fab future ahead of you and will grab every opportunity that comes your way.

    I've been quite productive since we came home from school today; all rooms are now tidy and have hoovered through, although it could do with more general dusting and cleaning, but I always find the hoover makes a huge difference in a small space of time :D:D

    I have also done the ironing and put it away :T So tonights plan is to have a bath, plan a 30 day weightloss and exercise blitz which will hopefully get me back into the swing of it all as so far things are not happening on that front again :o Then I want to check and see if theres anything in the Next sale that I want, I'm not expecting there to be as there isn't much in these mid season ones normally, but I have a slot tomorrow so need to see if theres anything worth trying for.

    Other than that a fairly early night is planned and maybe I'll try and add some more to my 101 things to do list :)

    Another week done, 4 more til the holidays :)

    Spends today = £ 2.50 on lunch. Nothing much else to report; my plan for the weekend involves cleaning the guinea-pigs, getting mums birthday present, a bit of housework, and not much else right now, so will have to see what comes up ;)

    I'm currently up to 71 things on my 101 list; its really therapeutic trying to think of them all, just hoping I manage to acheive most of them too ;)

    I am sure you will think of them - I have ground to a halt on it a bit!

    Still, if I achieve the things that I have got on there, I will be doing alright :D

    Have a good weekend xx
