    Got extension on assignment which is good as I have 2 days off next week so will write it then.

    OH is in hospital, he had operation yesterday and they kept him in for overnight. I will need to call him to check when he can come out and if I need to come and pick him up. Was really hard seeing him like that, just hoping for an easy recovery. He will be at home for over 2 weeks.

    I really need to organize myself once again, apart from running the washing machine every 2nd day, I haven't been doing anything at home:(.

    So today's tasks:
    - sort out tax
    -send money to LB
    -call tesco re settlement figure
    -buy bread, soup
    -get straws

    I have done everything apart from calling Tesco's which I must do today. OH is at home, he is still bleeding heavily and can't breathe, he kindly slept in the sitting room and me in bedroom, so both of us got a decent night sleep. He was snoring loudly because of blocked nose, and he is in pain and has to take his antibiotics. I just hope he will feel better by Monday. He is off now for 2 weeks at least.

    I have money worries with the increased mortgage abroad, that's £300 extra and I am not sure that we will be able to manage it with the rent we get for the flats. I am thinking whether to send this month an extra £100 there just to make sure that the money will be enough or shall I just risk it. I am not sure, don't want to get into trouble. At current we have appr. enough but that's not 100%:(. Not sure what to do. I will have a quick think and decide. I need to see whether I can arrange overdraft limit there, maybe that can be a quick solution...

    Weekend is looming, things to do:

    - shred papers
    - gym x2
    - weekly shopping on Sat
    - reading material for assignment
    - make plan for assignment
    - sort out bank account abroad
    - eyebrows, hair removal
    - ebay what we don't need
    - call Tesco
    - order contact lenses

    Very productive morning, called Inland Revenue, Tesco, Ofsted, Escape and little brother. Still need to sort out Hungarian bank account but if that's done than I don't need to do anything else.

    OH went back to dr, feeling rotten, just hoping he'll improve in a couple of days. He is on soup diet as his throat is really hurting. Tesco needs to call me back, still hasn't given me settlement figure on loan. Getting fed up with them but nothing I can do at the moment.

    I have babysitting booked for Fri and one Tues in August. Every penny helps!

    Friday arrived very quickly, I have the day off so should be productive but not really. I have just read half of the OU material, still 60 pages to go than need to write assignment before Sunday:(.

    Went to gym yesterday and today, just hoping that I can shred 6lb before going on holiday in September. It would be great,and that would mean also that I will be on top form before falling pregnant (AF arrived yest so no success this month).

    I will make an overpayment on the 2nd, not sure how much money I will have left after paying all the bills and credit card.

    OH is improving though his nose is still bleeding. He wants to go to brighton tmrw, so can't feel too bad I say.

    Still plodding along with assignment, due today. It's crazy, I have had a complete mind block for the past 24 hours and have not written a word so far. But ideas coming up now and I really want to get a good mark on this one...Oh, just hoping for a start first of all...

    Assignment submitted last night, though not hoping for good mark, it was really hard. But my fault, left it too late once again. I couldn't go to sleep afterwards, went to sitting room, set up sofa bed and OH appeared 5 min later:). It was lovely cuddling him but he is very anxious, still not feeling well after the operation. Just hoping it's a side effect and he will be fine in a couple of weeks time.

    Bills and direct debits are going out tomorrow so hopefully can make an overpayment.

    Oh, haven't done anything yet on my list, today will be the day. It's been so busy this week at work, today it seems much less to do.

    I need to make an overpayment for tEsco, only £250. Not much but every penny counts. We must pay it off in September, have had enough of having a loan!!!

    On a good note, I lost 3lbs in the last 2 weeks, I'm 133lbs at the moment, would be great to lose 5 more before holiday.

    Weekend is over, haven't done much to be honest. OH still not feeling well, he is concerned that he is not improving as much as he should at this stage. Just hoping for the best. He has an appointment with surgeon on the 26th, will go with him as it's my day off.

    I talked to Tesco over the weekend as the settlement figure they gave me was wrong, the lady was quite helpful and promised to sort it out. Also they will send me confirmation of the last 6 overpayments, hopefully will arrive by the end of this week.

    OH's parents are arriving this afternoon, staying for a week. Not looking forward to it:(.

    I worry a lot about my brother, job situation not looking very good, also worry about our investment mortgage because of the current economical climate. We really need to pay it off as soon as possible but as we still have our loan here, we need to concentrate on that one first. Just hoping for the best and that our job won't change and we can pay it off soon.

    Yesterday's rioting was frightening and scary. Living 10 min away from Peckham, above a shop and across a supermarket I did not feel completely safe but thankfully no need to panic. I could not not watch the telly, what happened in Croydon with the houses on fire was just devastating. At work this morning in Clapham, needless to say I'm speechless. Saw Brixton on my way here, KFC and Footlocker was battered. Just don't understand young people and children, violence will not solve anything.

    OH's parents are here so I'm a bit edgy, so is OH. He thinks I don't like them and I don't want them here and he is right but will never show or admit that. Bring on next MOnday quickly.

    Today's to do list:
    • book groupon massage
    • sort out tax code with Inland revenue
    • call Karen
    • look into contents insurance
    • email Gabor
    • transfer money from bank account
    • check bank account balance
    • buy plasters
    Not long but than I only have an hour at lunch time to do this.
