I STILL want to be mortgage free - 2011!

9/15 done. 6 to go!! I'm stopping for eggs and soldiers now though...will crack on after!

33% of question 2 down. I really need the loo though and DH is hogging the bathroom, so looks like I'll have to wait. It's very annoying because I can no longer concentrate! Grr.

Although it does mean I'm 63% of the way through all the marking now!

Tried retuning the tv and it started making a really awful noise that sounded like it was going to blow up! Most unnerving - Belle shot off into the kitchen to hide. Ha ha.

OMG...he has no hair or anything. What can the man possibly be doing??

Also, I remembered to email the estate agents all the questions we had about that house we went to view. There were quite a lot so figured I'd email rather than have to explain it over the phone. They emailed straight back saying they'd get back to us with the answers ASAP.

10 questions done and 5 still to go! Thats 66% done! I'm very pleased with my little self. Going to ask DH what he wants to do now the TV is broke. If he doesn't need me I might crack on with another question! If he does then the holiday starts here! Woo hoo.

twinklie

He said to mark...so I did and got blocked from 2 questions! :rotfl: 3 questions in a day is a bit much I think. Ho hum...that's me done for the weekend. I'm so excited. I'm getting my 30th birthday present a month early!!! Going to Wales to watch Wales vs The Baa Baas. CAN NOT wait!! I'm the biggest Wales fan EVER! LOVE THEM.

Although quite a few of my favs that are retiring soon aren't playing (boo hoo). Typical though that we shell out all this money and then the bloomin' tv breaks. Ha ha.

DH has fixed the tv...ish. Yey

well done on tv fixing!!
well done on exam marking too! you are very disciplined to spend your holidays working- its about all i can manage to just make it to the hols!
enjoy the match and good luck with all house buying/selling related stuff- is yours on the market yet or have you got a bit to do? mine is still a work in progress at this stage! :rotfl:

twinklie

Still a work in progress. Trying to arrange for father in law to come and work on it over summer so its ready for the market September time. That would be good anyway. x

Still not gone away yet because I'm married to the slowest man in the world. But he's started beautifying himself to get ready now at least...YEY. :j

Belle is in kennels (bad mummy), I've been and done all her food shopping etc for the month, taken her on a big walk, then took her up there. I've since been to brother and sis inlaws for a brew, scrubed the yard, brought in the washing, collected the bin and am now about to blitz the kitchen. I will pack shortly as well....My stuff just needs putting in the bag. DH is the slow one. He still has to go to town yet to collect his wages.

I'm not expecting to leave before 5pm now so no fancy meal tonight! We probably won't even get there till at least 9pm...if we are lucky.

Great news on the marking, I like the idea of working out %age left to mark.. might use that next week!

Hope you enjoy the weekend!

Back to reality. When we collected Belle she stank...so we decided we'd give her a wash. She smells beautiful now. Unfortunately though the excitement seems to have been too much for her and she's been passed out in her bed for the last two hours. Ha ha. She's sooo pretty.

Had a lovely weekend, excellent time at the rugby - but we lost in the dying seconds. The hotel was nice but on the first night we got a 4am wake up call that we didn't order - a member of staff just walked in the room to wake us up!!! !!!!!!?

And I got to spend some time with my best friends from when I lived in the USA. They are from Cardiff but where out there when I was there. It was awesome to see them...but it was not long enough at all. Anyway, contemplated doing some marking...but I'm far to tired so I'll get back on the treadmill after work tomorrow.
