    Managed to spend £100 yesterday on stuff I need - new hoodie, DVDs, books, new purse, game for Kai. So it wasn't too bad of a bashing for my card, and I should be sated spend-wise for the month.

    Exercise:
    c25k week 1 run 3

    Food diary:
    B - smoothie, porridge
    L - ham salad
    S - fruit
    D - carrot and swede soup with beef bits.

    Need to add S - 50g crisps and some nuts

    Also, I've printed out the two essays due in, and printed out my notes for the other 2 so I can get cracking. Need to read 4 books/plays to go with them, which'll be fun, but it means I can take more notes, and more, and more etc etc until my brain explodes and I can write the essay. Uni tomorrow morning, so need to take books back and go hand in my essay.

    To do list:
    Read Three Sisters
    Read The Glass Menagerie
    Read All My Sons
    Read The Master Builder
    Read Mansfield Park
    Read The Scarlet Letter
    Read Silas Marner (for Monday)
    Read The Vindication of the Rights of Woman (for Monday)
    Read other thing for Monday
    Sort out essay to go in and books to go back.
    Sort out books to go back to general library and do in break tomorrow (or before uni)

    Have read and got notes printed for the two plays I wanted to get done, hopefully this'll help the essay sped along. Will do the other books either tomorrow or over the weekend/on days off.

    OK, new day!

    Have taken the books back to uni, handed my essay in, had a lecture, printed out the next set of notes for the 4th essay due in. Now I need to sit and start reading the notes for the 3rd essay, and then I can write my introduction....or try to.

    One very bizarre introduction has been written. I had to try and put in about the theorist too, so I used a quote and then said how I felt that the authors used the plays as a laboratory too. Need to expand more on it but I have 2000 words for that.

    Er yeah, he gets a game cos he doesn't have many and it keeps him occupied. So that IS a need. And it also cost less that half of what it should have done getting it when it came out. so ner ner ner *raspberry* (also considering he's gone dairy and gluten free because I am - I have intolerances - so I think he deserves it)

    Also got the forms done for sorting the benefits out, hopefully we'll hear something in the next few weeks. Need to go to council and JC on Monday to sort things out.
    Bit more done on the 3rd essay, there's now 800 words and I'm pretty pleased with it. I'll do some more tomorrow after coming back from our walk.
