Oh yuck - there's nothing worse than toothache.
Hope you've been able to get it sorted!

Oi you............I didnt know you had a new diary
got the hump now...:p
Shove over on the grumpy bench will you mateychops 2 teenagers + metro centre = skint Lou
Just read back......I am even more grumpy as you are going to see Muse and I am not!But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Sorry Lou about Muse - the worst bit of it is I wouldn't recognise them if I fell on them, I bought the ticket cos I am trying to do new stuff and the last concert I went was a Dave Gray one about 10 years ago.
I went shopping, forgot the guinea pigs' hay - I have enough but will now have to go during the week grr.
Had to buy a new handbag, the straps on my one are !!!!!!ed.
Supposed to be at my friend's house now. my toothbrush, mouth wash and tooth paste are coming with me. tooth doesn't hurt too bad which is good.
I was just terrified it is going to cost loads and mess up my debt free plan. However whilst I was out I decided NOTHING was going to stop me. I find change very hard but if I don't get my !!!! together I will wake up 40 and still in a !!!! job with few prospects. I am so late I shouldn't be here. One last thing, I planning my media lesson with my bossfriend - lovely person thank the Lord and its the only thing I have got excited about, we were talking about teaching in America. So I am going to make some serious inquiries.

Had a lovely evening at my friend's last night, we did have chinese which was an unexpected expense but hey this month's budget is kinda shot to crap anyway so we will look "later"
The Two Ronnies are on TV.They still make me laugh
Any how back to today's list
1. Guinea pigs
2. fish tanks (my do them during the week plan was a fail)
3. hoover upstairs
4. paper work - two boxes full NEED TO GO.
5. room needs tidying (not in the mood to mess it up to varnish/paint, might wait now till Mum is off on hols)
6. conservatory needs tidying too.
7. Marking.............
Next weekend is Muse and weekend after that is going to see the Pope(!), then its Mum's last weekend before she goes away so I will spend that specifically with her.
Plans for the weekends after that(!) I know this is extreme planning!
1. my room.
2. kitchen
3. glossing the white paintwork
4. garden.
Actually due to weather I will probably do a bit of the garden each week. I am now going to bore you all with garden plans.
- extend the flowerbeds
- edge the lawn
- start digging the fish pond
- clear the back of the shed.
I'd really like the garden to look totally different when she comes back. Finally after 8 years in this house to have it sorted would be such a relief.
Now I know some of you will be thinking eh we 've just had summer why didn't you do it then? Well essentially my sis and her bf come round twice a week to see Mum and sometimes do the garden, if I do anything or make a suggestion/decision they HAVE to dissect it and think about it and consider it and discuss it and so and so on. It takes so long to do anything. Plus Mum worries about us arguing and having "tension" so whilst she is away and they aren't around as much I shall just get on with it. Me, a hippo bag (or two) and a shovel.
The other things I am thinking about is putting up the fence that we are in dispute over with our neighbour. And of course the boiler. However they will need more investigations and thinkings before I commit.
Mum is away for about 6-7 weeks. I shall miss her and be very skint whilst she is away! but it will be good for a while.
Ok I can't really sit here any longer ooo maybe I can there is a Rita Hayworth Film on. I love her!!
Wanted to be just like her when I was a kid.

Right Buffy
I like that 'take time to chill out with book or whatever ' clause you have in your first post.
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with all the 'stuff' I have to do I don't actually stop and relax, always thinking about what needs to be done.
Congrats on the PO card. And yes let's ebay !DC.

I had a good day in the classroom and did see my friends at lunchtime, so on balance not a bad day.
I still work with !!!!!!s but that is never going to change.
Iam already tired and snapping at my Mum.
I tried reading the secret last night. I really do not get it. Surely if you make a list of everything you want it just refocus's you and your mind towards those goals very bizarre to think the universe is like some kind of genie granting your every wish.
I am feeling very old and cynical tonight.
got loads to do.
current debt is in signature. am pleased with that, should in theory have another 400 ish quid to add by the end of the month plus by then I will be back at 2nd job and be able to pay 1000 pounds (fingers crossed the dentist doesn't cost the earth)
