    Typical, on a day when we have to be up about 9, we all want to sleep and sleep.....
    I was up til midnight reading the secret and it kept going round my head all night - things I want to attract in my life....hmmmm;)

    Anyway, girls are off with their dad in an hour - was meant to be 10.30 but we were all too lazy to get up and get ready!

    I'm wondering whether to not go to my sister's....I'm only going at 2 today and will be home by 12 tomorrow so hardly seems worth it, especially when I have Uni work to do - got the presentations to do on Thurs and 1 of them I've no idea what to do, not done any reading or planning:eek:

    House needs a good hoover downstairs - upstairs is nice and tidy. Have washing to put out that wasn't dry last night and a pile of ironing. I took a photo of 1 of the items for ebay, the rest needed ironing so should def do that today, while people are looking for uniforms on there:)

    Otherwise the next few days before girls are back really will be college work - beofre I get really panicky about the lack of time:o

    Girls have gone and he's rung to say they've arrived - they've gone to stay in his girlfriend's new flat an hour and half away. Usually they go to his mum's, 10 mins away from here! But they find it boring so I told him if he wants them for the 4 days then they have to go away, not his mum's. He doesn't live with the girlfriend now - god knows what's going on there - think she has it sorted, bought her own place and he doesnt live in it;)

    They'll have a nice weekend - bowling tonight, swimming at a slide pool tomorrow, much more fun than staying round here and watching tv at his mum's:rotfl: If they can't live with their dad they should at least get fun weekends out of it:D

    So, what have I done? Cleaned out the goldfish (he was lost in the greenness:o), hoovered, washing back out, tidied up a bit, pottered on here...hmmmm must step away from the computer and do some work - especially as that's the reason I'm at home and not going to my sister's!

    Ooooh, I've slept until 10.40 today:eek:
    Feel very lazy so must get showered and dressed soon - got to have coffee first;)
    Not sure if my mum and stepdad are coming today - she likes to come and do my garden for me. Stepdad wasn't feeling well yesterday morn so that's why I'm not sure if they're coming. Sure she'll text soon.

    I listed 4 things on ebay last night - 3 bits of school uniform and my old phone, which is a lovely phone I just didn't get on with the touchscreen! I text a lot and prefer to have a keyboard. So I did buy a phone on there last night - same as my sister's, has a touchscreen but also a slide out keypad. If my phone goes for what most of them seem to it'll cover buying the other phone and still will have some extra...can't be bad:D

    I did a few hours on my college work yesterday - most of it reading and research, so haven't got a huge amount written. That's the 1st part of the 2nd presentation, just need to do some more - that's today's job:o

    2 x 20p on the scratchcards today - woohoo. HB goes in to the bank today and I seem to have too much money in the bill account:rotfl: It's because HB has gone up for the summer - until Uni term starts again, so must sit and work out exactly how much extra's in the account and whip it out into savings. My money has changed a little recently - water bill went up as did gas/elec (even tho gas/elec usage is down, who knws why they out it up, but not a prob - i'll have more to carry over into the winter:D)

    Ok, think I'll go shower and do the money, am keen to know how much over I am. Have a few bits of grocery shopping I want to get. My tum's been really unsettled again, so was looking in to what I can eat to help - think my diet has no fibre in, I was scared of eating any after the op, but now i think I need to. I don't have hardly any fruit/veg...have just realised I'm not a very good eater right now, oops:o

    Ok, I'm feeling more positive about the presentation now - I think I have the plan of it....drawn a plan of all the powerpoint slides. Been doing it for a while and the sun is out, so going to let myself have a sit in the garden with a drink and read 'The Secret'.

    Dinner will be an easy one - the quiche is made, will probably just have some salad with it, been nibbling a bit so won't be too hungry:cool:

    DD2's texted to say they've been swimming at a pool with slides and rapids then father cooked them pasta bake. Glad they're having fun...though I don't half miss them:o Must be productive though while I have the peace. Might nip to Uni library tomorrow, it always motivates me, I love libraries:D

    My sis has asked if we want to go to the Bristol balloon fiesta next weekend with them, which will be fab - haven't been in years, it's usually on when we're on holiday. Might go to Crealy in Devon in a couple of weeks with them too - think they accept Tesco vouchers there so will look into that. Also a trip to Bristol next week with sis and her girls, bit of lunch and a wander, get girls school shoes while we're there.

    A few nice things coming up:T
