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

Evening...I feel poo:( Couldn't work out why suddenly last night I had a really dodgy tum and felt wiped out - especially as I've not been bad at all recently. It's hit me again this afternoon - :(I've now twigged why:o I went back on my medication yesterday that the hosp doc's decided I should take. Pills that lower the immune system but should keep away inflammation. I did used to take them for years but I think now, post operation, my insides are so sensitive:o Looking at the side effects it does say feeling unwell, nauseous, diarrhoea...great:( Will keep going for a few days and then ring the IBD nurse at the hosp if it doesn't ease. Don't want to feel carp for the hols!!

So, was a good job I was off today! My friend took me out for lunch, was very nice - and was before I started to feel rubbish luckily. DD2 had been promised a trip to town to get her hair cut so managed that, returned a few bits for refunds and bought her school shoes to last til the end of the school year hopefully:)

I couldn't face cooking (no appetite myslef) so boiught them both sausage and chips from the chippy - £4.50 there.

So, an early night for me - I could sleep now.Not impressed!!

Hope you're feeling better today

Are you OK Pixie? Not seen you about for a few days.....

Hiya...I'm back:o
I have been around, just couldn't be bothered to post...not been particularly good money-wise it feels..oops. In all honesty it's not that bad - I bought dd1 a few things (spent about £50), gave dd2 £20 to go shopping with and bought myself a handbag for £29. I do feel naughty, but am back on the dfw-wagon. I didn't use credit, it was in my spends account...just was unnecessary I guess. But....I love my bag, it's fab;)

I feel better today - I didn't take the nasty tablets yesterday, thats probably why I feel ok. I should ring the IBD nurse at the hospital really...check its ok to go back on them in a couple of weeks. I just cant spoil the hols like this - its hard having the girls and feeling rubbish.

So, house is a mess as I've had no energy and zero motivation to sort it. I must crack on today. DD1 is at a friends house and dd2 off out with friends in half an hour.

I've also been thinkiing about uni a lot. I applied for mitigating circumstances last week (which I heard yesterday were approved:D) - so that gives me until August to get work done. But, thinking seriously, I realise that I have pretty much the whole of the 2nd year to do by August - thats a lot of work, especially as it includes a research project to do at work. So, I was thinking do I just give up or what else? I've spoken to the uni a bit and my tutor and have decided that in the summer I will apply for mitigating circumstances again...so hopefully that'll be approved and I can have until January. I won't be registered as a student so it wont cost me...but it gives me more time and eases the pressure.

So, today I need to tidy up, get stuff up the attic and probably tackle the enormous pile of ironing:)

Onepoll is on £21.55 - it's still being soooo slow at times, I get really frustrated with it! Mysurvey is going ok, need another 100 points for a £5 voucher.

Grocery account is on £35 left, eeek:eek: It was all the stuff I bought for the DTD voucher - I have a shed piled with diet coke cans and bottles and Lucozade sport for girls:D But, it gave me £20 off my big shop on Wed.

HB has gone up a bit...I had an overpayment last year due to getting student loans but as we're in a new year it's back to normal...so thats nice. Tax credits didnt change much in the new year...£5 up a week, didnt expect that;)

So, all ok really. Ooooh and student loans/grant go in soon - in 3 weeks:T

Glad to see you back. Probably best to see the IBD nurse - no good having tablets that make you feel worse - they're supposed to make you feel better!

Nice to have a new handbag to perk you up a bit though . You can't completely deny yourself things.

Not sure what to advise re the Uni course as I don't really have any experience with it. Probably someone will be on later to advise you.

OnePoll was soooo slow yesterday, yet everytime I logged in there was another £1 worth of surveys waiting for me! Seems to be OK today. I am up to £14.95 now. It feels so much more do-able now - not such a long slog.

I spoke to the IBD nurse and I'm off the darn tablets for a few days and will see if I feel better - I do already:D So, maybe I'll try then again in a couple of weeks, may as well give them another go just so I know for sure if they affect me.

Girls have just gone with their dad until tomorrow. His 'weekends' now seem to be Sat lunchtime until Sunday 4pm...hmmm that's not a weekend to me. Fri nights he says he can't get back to here from work in time, but I don't believe that...he's coming back to be with the new [EMAIL="t@rt....he's"]t@rt....he's[/EMAIL] great isn't he?!:rotfl:

I need to get a bit busy, but am severely lacking in motivation right now...grrrrr:( I think I'll give myself an hour to see how much I can do - upstairs really is a mess...so think I'll do that. I know I feel so much better when the place is neat and in order, I'm just being a lazy moo;)

I did tons of ironing yesterday - about 3 hours worth:eek: So my wardrobe is jam packed now, didn't realise I had that much stuff :cool:

Also must get on with some work - I must try and get my head to think that I'm starting my 2nd year now, so need to keep up to date and do the reading that is needed...not leave everything until the very last minute...as is my usual way of working. I just feel I've not given this course the attention I should. I know I've had unwell times, and I'm cross that that's impacted so much as I really wanted to give the course my all. Still, it's just the marks in the 2nd year that determine whether I get distinction, merit or pass....so if I start working properly now then I can still get what I want:T

Ok, off to do an hour of tidying:j

aw mils sorry you're having a carpy time xxxx

now I remember you went through this exact same dilema last year about whether you should give up uni - and in truth I think we all do - 3 months before I graduated I was ready to throw in the towel. Try to stick with it if you can love x

Yep, I have had the same dilemma....many a time before:D But, I will keep going...I'll be pleased with myself when I do, can't let my health spoil everything can I?! It's just some of the upcoming assignments are soooo dull;);)

Anyway, have been busy - cleaned through girls room, chucking out a few bits and hoovered and dusted. I need to put a few bags of stuff up the attic, the landing is a dumping ground right now:o My rrom's messy - but that's normal;)

I have a banana loaf smelling gorgeous in the oven...will have a bit of that with a cuppa later on.

I've taken out breakdown cover - my RAC expired in January...how silly am I driving around with no cover since then? I did go for AA, thro' Quidco and went for more cover this time - at home as well as roadside. So, I think £42 should be the cahsback...I paid just over £100 today so hopefully it'll be less overall in the end.

Arghhhhh....ex being a complete [EMAIL="tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] again:mad::mad:
He dropped girls back earlier and marched in and proceeded to just go on and on at eldest about how she had her mobile phone at the dinner table...(yes, it was wrong but he'd already spoken to her about it, just carried on ranting in front of me)...he moaned about them going to the T4 concert in the summer and after he'd gone I heard how he moaned at her about quite a lot! He really has no idea about 13yr old girls and what they like to do:mad: Poor youngest was trying to change the conversation as he ranted and he just tells her not to be flippant - grrr, he's an idiot. When girls don't want to go stay with him (he still just goes to his mums with them), then I won't stop them, he doesnt deserve them to go and I wont let them have a carp weekend:o
