'Be Happy'...Milly's mission for 2011

Why do weekends never feel long enough?! Yesterdya morning I thought I had so much time and had a long list of things to do...sadly not all things got done:o

We met my mum and dad for a cuppa this morning, then girls and I nipped over to the big home Tesco. Got a lovely duvet cover for dd2, been looking for one that she liked - found one reduced to £5.60, bargain;) It's lovely and bright, big flower prints. Also got myself a couple of cardigans to wear to work...I need to wear layers as I'm either hot or cold there! I used a refund card I had for Next to buy 3 tops, only keeping one, 2 going back - I just couldnt be bothered to try them in the shop.

Went to the 'What!' shop and got a good load of bargains - new baking tins, silicone cake and loaf tins were only £2 each.

I meant to do some work this afternoon, but ended up doing dinner and helping dd with her English project. Tomorrow I have some time when girls are out at their club, so will plough on then. Would be fab to hand it in on Wed. I must remember that I only need to pass it, to get 40%...doesn't make any difference whether I get 75% or 40%, it just needs to be done.

Dinner is in the oven - having minced beef wellington, with mash, veg and gravy...lovely. Need to iron a few bits, will do that while Dancing on Ice is on.

Only 2 weeks til half term - and I have an inset this week so only 3 working days plus college on Wed, nice:D Off to tidy up a bit while dd2 in shower...

Only 20p to go to hit payout in Onepoll:beer: Surely by the end of today I'll have got there?!
Got a till spit in Tesco yesterday...a £6 off a £40 shop - brilliant, will use that this weekend...I won't need a huge shop, so that is perfect for me.
Must rush, off to work;)

Woooohooooo:beer: I hit the magic £40 with Onepoll, so have requested the money via Paypal - brilliant, free money:T That's made my day hehehe.

Am off to the doctor's at 6.45:eek: The hospital wrote to me, wanting me to to go on steroids for 8weeks...but I'm really, really reluctant to do so - much as I feel good on them, almost manic, I put on weight, my face puffs up and I hate that with a passion..makes me feel disgusting:( Since I cut out lactose 2 weeks ago my tum has really settled and I feel ten times better...I have no pain so feel that steroids aren't needed yet. I have a scan in a month so that'll show what's going on...if they say I need steroids then, well I'll go with it...just would rather hold off. So wanted to see a doctor about the lactose intolerance...tonight was available:D So, to save me cooking beofre I go, then heating it up, I'm buying us sausage and chips from the chippy...so have an hour and a half now of peace and no cooking:T Going to do some essay....

So, NSD out the window...but it's worth it to have the time to do some work.

The £4.50 spent at the chippy was worth it - I finished an assignment:beer: Ok, it was just a short one - 1300 words, but I'm still happy to get it gone...handed it in today. Also got the essay from last week back and got my 2nd highest mark - so happy with that:D

I've got another short one I can get on with now, but am having a tutorial on Friday to talk about some of the work based stuff that needs doing.

Had a disaster yesterday - a filling came out with my bagel:eek: I really thought it was a tooth it was so big - the dentist did keep telling me the tooth was almost gone and it wasn't good...I now realise what he meant:o So one of my back teeth has an enormous gaping hole in it - seeing dentist on Friday. It ached only a little last night but a couple of paracetamol sorted it and it's not hurt today. Grrrrr, I hate teeth;)

So just tomorrow to work and off on Friday. DD2s at a friend's tonight so just feeding dd1 and myself - meatballs and tom+pepper sauce. Just going to nip out and buy a new home phone...we haven't got one, it died...should have it connected really:o

Brilliant news about the assignments, well done:T Not so good about the tooth:(

Spending at chippy was certainly well worth it!

Hope you get the tooth sorted pixie! I've got a feeling I need to get another filling soon too. Eek.

Me too I have an extremely tender tooth. I will have to book an appointment for me and DD for half term. Just rub Sensodyne over yours until you can see the dentist.

Thank you ladies...luckily it's not sore tonight:o Just a great gaping hole where most of the tooth once was:eek:
Poles - I just checked out my Pigsback account....and the meanies deleted my 1871 points in Dec as I hadn't logged in for 6months...grrrr:mad: So definitely in a huff with them now;)

Oh no, this doesn't bode well for me. I thought it was going to be a bit of easy money.....:rotfl:
