Very little work done, but I have sorted out my mobile contract (£10/month, 100 minutes, 500 texts); changed my broadband and phone provider, and submitted my gas & elec meter readings. It's peeing with rain, so won't be going for a walk or run. I guess I'll have to do washing, ironing and housework before giving in and finishing my powerpoints...

that, and the one Kaz M mentions sound good...I need more than 500 texts though...but last month I went over my 500 texts plus unlimited 02 to 02 texts and ended up spending extra, not sure how I did so mych texting . Must sort out a better deal, would like to stick with 02 as it's just easy...

Got my hospital appt tomorrow morning, so am hoping for a discharge from the fracture clinic and a referral to physio. We'll see. They'll need to do an xray, and there's a slim slim slim minute teeny tiny chance that I might be pregnant (given my advanced age :eek: and the time we've been trying very unlikely really ) plus it's far too early to test. Am getting a bit worked up about whether to have the xray or not. Thoughts?

I had an x-ray on my ankle very early on in pregnancy...before I knew, but we were trying so I was aware I might be, was about 4 days after I must've concieved! Radiologist said it was fine because it was my ankle but offered me a lead apron to drape over myself, which I did. My mum had an x-ray when pg with me as it was before scans and they needed to check her pelvis!

Right, I must go to bed, really tired again and friend picking me up at 9am

Mumto5....hope things can be sorted re...picking kids up(our school lets the classes out at intermediate(sp?)(youngest first) times in more or less the same area so seems to work(newish system at the mo so we'll see?!?!?) xx

I have spent so many days being miserable about stuff I hadn't done the day before I got nothing done that day too.. looking at every day like a new opportunity to get stuff done is the only way to make a difference.

Thank you (again) for words of wisdom. Must write this in my diary so I don't forget. I don't get in too late in the afternoons, but any get-up-and-go has well and truly got up and gone by then. Since the busy weekend I've fallen behind with pretty much everything around the house and DH and I will be away from Saturday morning until Sunday lunch this weekend. :eek:
Work is going from bad to worse - I've never known a start of term like it. Must get to bed now to stand a chance with classes tomorrow. Night all. Hugs all around. xxx

Think I might have sorted out the stuff for Thursday's workshop (all bar one section, which I need a colleague to donate slides for...). And I've written my list for packing and emailed my cousin to see whether he's free to meet up when I get to Paris.

So... just two more presentations to get done by the end of the week, and I won't be too far behind with my work

Think I might go to bed now.

Hugs, spoons & sticks all round for those that want and/or need them

Well I didnt think I had got much done but actually because I had worked so hard last week a lot of things can be left this week.
Been a horrid start to the week so far my cousin and her bf split after ten years and 2 kids so have been supporting her.
My sister had an accident today with her baby so she is in hospital for observations (the baby bumped her head). _pale_
On top of this my gallbladder has gone into major pains. I am now feeling very very poorly and weepy and bleugh.
It never rains but it pours eh...:eek:

Big loves and spoons xx
