Good Morning Matrix peeps. The day did not start well. I am managing to sort things out as they come up, so not going badly now.

I have TONNES to do at work and no motivation to get any of it done. I want the weekend to start NOW. And I am feeling grumpy because it isn't. Which is not really sensible, but it is the way I feel at the moment.

Have good day and a nice weekend one and all.

Why not try some 15 minute bursts Crickett? So sort the stuff into piles according to urgency / motivation levels or other category of your choosing, and then do 15 minute bursts on one thing at a time until you start seeing progress?

Happy Friday Matrixettes.. hugs and cups of tea/ glasses of fizz all round I think.

I feel shattered this week, despite only working four days, but for once I actually feel on top of work and like I've achieved something (with only a little undercurrent of 'hmm there must be something I've forgotten...). And I've had a mysterious payrise according to my payslip for Monday, which is nice!

I like "Matrixettes" Squizz! :T I also like the sound of your payrise - how exciting!

Cheri Glad things are starting to look a bit more positive - I'm still sending positive vibes for the sale of the flat!

Bitsy - fab news for your H - I'll certainly send some positive vibes his way for you! I'm sure you're right about the huge amount of experience he has going in his favour too.

Lara - so there will be lost of 15 minute bursts happening in your world this weekend, too!

Apparently there is another eBay free listing weekend this weekend - doubt I will be able to take advantage this time round though as I'm going to be away visiting a friend for quite a bit of the time. Might manage to get some on on Sunday evening - we'll see.

My Electricity monitor has turned up from British Gas today - (it was a freebie for adding energysmart to the account) so I've been playing with that! Amazing the difference it makes turning things on and off - the kettle is :eek:, might have to cut back on the tea I drink! (Nah! :rotfl:) The laptop, however, uses practically nothing!

Right - off to sort out the bits I need to take to my friend's with me!

Lara - keep popping on over the weekend - someone should be around to cheer you on.

Bitsy - positive vibes and fingers and toes crossed for your dh :j

EH - I couldn't do without my cups of tea either - life would just not be worth living :rotfl:

To all those people at work - almost there, keep going

Must go and rescue some :eek: veggies and turn them into soup - waste not want not. Then I should do some ironing if I can find the motivation. I'll be glad when half-term is over so that we can get back to our normal routines.

Take care all, Thriftyxxx

Good luck Lara! We'll be cheering you on :T :T

Enjoy Chester - I grew up near there and stil love it

((matrixettes indeed)))))))) :j :j

Busy busy here. Not long got in from a field trip with work, house is rather a tip (we're busy turning it into a palace - which seems to involve turning it into a rubbish tip first :rotfl:), my mum and auntie are arriving at 10am tomorrow morning, and tomorrow night we're having an end-of-phd party :eek:

So tonight will be lots of 15 minute bursts and cheery music I think :T :T Right now it's feeling rather overwhelming, so I'm thinking a nice cup of tea and a sit down first

Kettle uses lots, but only for short periods of time... laptop uses practically nothing but if its on 24/7 it starts to add up!

Hope you signed up for your nectar points too. They also have an option to compare your usage to other customers in your area. I was relieved to see that mine was on the low side for both gas and elec - which is good given that I work from home!

According to her last post it was for 10 days, not heard from here since.
Hope she's OK, Claire can you text her and check all is OK?

Ahh signing off work for tonight. I did more but not the bit I should have. I'm expanding this essay rather than re-writing what I have already got!! Oh well tomorrow is another day. At least the introduction makes more sense now. I decided to start with the hard, hated bits and not leave them until the end as usual Hugs to everyone, hope MG pops in soon.

Good for you Lara - that was a late night - hope today is going well.
