500 words on Shakespeare
Get second draft of second section done
Look at other books I got out - tomorrow methinks - done, done and DONE!

Got over 100 done on Shakespeare and a full first draft of my research paper. As I'm travelling tomorrow I'll be able to read through them.

Do have a spend but it was on the grocery budget and included my mum and dad's Easter gift (half price GIANT box of Milk Tray) and bits for tomorrow for the train - 25.37 (ouch) in total but I don't need to spend a penny til I'm back. Since it's outta the food budget I keep NSD no 9 too

Am at home - well mums and dads home now.

So nice to be here, automatically relax more when I'm here as I'm away from all the stress.
Mum liked her presents

Made a really big but needed decision.

I've decided to quit uni. I'm not doing as well as I should and its really affecting my mental health. I'll also be moving back to my parents as being alone 99% of the time is really killing me.

Have sorted removals, let uni, let landlord know and ordered my bedroom furniture...I feel so much better for making this decision like the weight is off, but I know I can still do an English degree through the OU

elfen

Need to pop 8km into the walk fund.

So far on my moving home journey I have:
Contacted uni, need to wait til I get back to sort it
Phoned landlord - need to cancel rent s/o, and see him to see what is being taken from my deposit
Bought furniture - 277 on Tesco for a bed/mattress, wardrobe, computer desk and chair
Booked removals - 6th May @ 9am

Only you will know if you have made the right decision.

elfen

beanie, the sense of relief and relaxation I've had makes me feel it's the right way to go. I won't be on my own so much, I can still do it at home after having a few months rest...and mum said she doesn't mind coming to appointments, etc with me, which is a massive weight off my shoulders.

Another 3km into the walk pot for today

Have also:
Cancelled d/d's and s/o's not needed
Washed down the walls, sides and floor in the kitchen

Tomorrow:
Sort under bed boxes
Sort clothes
General cleaning
Finish kitchen
Start bathroom - tiles and bath

ETA: As mum said, it's a lot of stress off my mind and hers, I won't be worrying about money and surviving so much, and she won't worry all the time about me

elfen

Today I have:

Sorted clothes - 2 bags have gone to the charity bin, think there might be a third later today
Underbed boxes - emptied and filled with books/DVDs
All DVDs and books are now packed
Half clothes - winter ones, are packed

Tomorrow:
Hoover flat
Get boxes from Argos
Pack up what isn't needed from bedroom

ETA: Make that 4 bags

elfen

Have had to move my move date to the 4th....double booking removals man lol

So, just over a week!

Also, went and spent a bit as I won't be near a Lush shop for a long time! Got shampoo, conditioner, hair moisturiser, 2 soaps (freebies) and some Dream Cream as people keep raving about it. Spent my birthday money and got some perfume, make up brushes and a bit from Benefit - the porefessional think its called

ETA: Lost a lb! So happy!

elfen

OK, to-do list for tomorrow:

Take books to charity shop
Hoover flat
Clean kitchen: all sides, hob, oven, sink, cupboards
Sort through cupboards and take out what isn't needed
Mealplan off the rest of the food in the flat
