Beanie, I pay once a year, I could do it monthly but mostly want it out of the way. I sent off the forms this morning and paid by CC so I will have to pay off next month.
I love that Gareth bloke who does the Choirs:o even if he is wearing the most awful trousers on Something for the Weekend.
anyway in other news I sorted out my surveys last night and it turns out I am right near a 25 quid voucher for Amazon which will cover my sisters birthday.
I must check out one poll too.
I started sorting out my room this morning for the big move around. I have no enthusiaum for it to be honest. I have SO MUCH crap that should be gotten rid of mostly paperwork and hangbags its would seem! and I have so been here before!
any how am also meant to be going out with Mum so best get a shift on in all departments. She never gives me a time and then gets the hump when I am not ready for some mythical time she never set. drives me insane ( I do obviously ask when she wants to go out but she always says I don't mind, not too late, don't worry about it and then spends the rest of the day with the steaming hump!
see you all later

Oh dear, today has been a disaster.
We went to the cemetry to sort out my Nan's grave, it needed a fair bit of work and is quite a distance really from here. It basically knackered Mum out, she then came home and insisted on cooking a roast..............drives me insane, she is 74! with a heart condition any how by the time we sat down for dinner she felt dreadful and really scared me, didnt eat anything and eventually gave up on the idea of clearing up dinner(!) so I did that whilst she had a nap....I then basically watched her sleep, I was so freaked out. She never gets sick I mean never. she was so pale and slept for about an hour and ahalf, she looks loads better now well right up until some bloke in a film I left on got eaten by bear. I preferred the cartoon earlier. THat was truly horrible. No wonder you needed a pin to watch.
any how she has had a cup of tea and a biscuit now and bears aside its an Antony Hopkins film so its not all bad.......although they are about to kill a squirrel! (sorry Red if you are reading)
Me I haven't done anything apart from catch up with all my surveys. !!!!!!!Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
That must be very hard to deal with. the not knowing when you need to be ready by. Sorry to hear she freaked you out.I take it that there is no way that you could have stopped her cooking....
ref the frog that is your room, 15 minute chunks would be the way forward? same with the ebaying...But you know this already mate don't you:-)I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

Right Day did not go well.
I had to move the stuff out from under the bed..........................decided to put some in the shed, which I then decided needed clearing out - i dumped stuff in there loads over winter......................then I went up in the loft and found some more stuff to e bay so put that in the shed now too.
Room which is essentially a pit from hell - a teenager wouldn't live like this!!!! and it is 6 oclock.
up shot is after dinner I am going to give myself an hour and a half to get it done, it won't be pretty but something will change in there!!!!Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
Today's work
bin bag in the bin
pile of papers burned
shed tidied and reorganised (couple of bags there too)
bedroom furniture rearranged and room cleaned.
under the bedsorted some e bay some bin!!
the move with the girls cage didn't really work. so I have arranged things slightly differently...it looks good but it is probably not the best for them.....
I am also 3000 steps off my target which really irritated me as I haven't stopped moving furnitur/boxes/bin bags all flipping day. Am toying with the idea of lowering the target.
toying with a lot of things actually!
love my room tho. looks MUCH better.
I need a shower I know that!Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
Morning all,
I did an exercise video last night so as to do my 3000 steps, its AMAZING how much that annoying computer game motivates me! I am currently enjoying som erich tea biscuits and a cup of tea, very aware that balancing my laptop like this is very dangerous (esp re Lula recent nightmare) so this will be quick
am aiming for
1. nsd
2. 4 sets of projects marked
3. one lot of short essays marked by 11
4. 15 minutes shredding
5. am working 8 till 8 so best shift my bum
