Hi all, absolutley shattered. Didn't sleep well after my stressful day at work yesterday , up early and right back in there. Got a lot of difficult problems solved but drained now. Just came home and sat on the sofa watching TV and not moving for 3 hours. Still it was a LSD - 40p bag of crisps for lunch

On my own tonight so X factor (OMG Matt is amazing !) and then bed.
Day off tommorow and my list :- HC x1 Done and on airers
- check banks money from healthplan gone in
- comps just a few , will do more later if i can
- surveys off to lightspeed next
- Bake 2 x cake - try raise moral at work mondaydone and cooling
- List a few bits on Ebay 5 items listed
- Wrap DBs birthday present - he didn't want me to spend much so am wrapping 10 x bags of sweets in free newspaper :rotfl:couldn't find selotape - have used parcel tape
- Start wrapping and organising xmas pressies - life is unpredictable atm so need to be organised. none wrapped due to lack of selotape , organised into piles in spare room
- quick clean and tidy - DD has kept house quite well this week so not too much to do. well done a bit
- All food from stores dd wanted broccoli but didnt have it in , sent her to sainsburys local and she spent £20 ! mostly on coke !grrr
- Entered some coke zone points
- used till reciepts to enter some prize draws
- cancelled lovefilm - don't use enough to justify it

Didn't think i'd achieve much when I got up today , fall out of last 2 days left me feeling pants but looking at my list i did yesterday motivated me and am pleased with what i have achieved.When it rains look for RainbowsWhen its Dark look for Stars0 -
so big afternoon for me. dd has come round for dinner for the first time in months (first time she has been round since the pregnancy/not-pregnancy back in May) its going ok so far but its always a strain when she's around. Lots of deep breathes & letting things go is the order for the evening & pray that we make it through to a decent time without any major ding dongs... (really hope it goes ok, as am hoping things are ok with her being at home so we can work towards her coming home for a few days at christmas)DF as at 30/12/16

Done some work. Don't get paid overtime bit means I'm more prepared for the week and I can happily spend an hour with DD tomorrow afternoon without feeling guilty before I go away
Did go to an impromtu firework display last night. Did spend £10 to get in but it was fab and we have been trying so hard the last few months not to spend, sometimes we all need a treat
DNMS. Hope all is well with DD
Enjoy your evenings one and all :j0
