Memorygirls - The Matrix Re-inspired

greenbee

My Sunday is going to be spent frantically preparing for a week away. So I need to cook and freeze all the food that might go off, plant 10 new plants, hang out the washing currently in the machine and get it dry and in the airing cupboard, clean the kitchen and leave the DW empty, put the WM through a cleaning cycle, do meter readings, clean junk out of the car, pack, and do a bit of work in case there is no network access in the hotel tomorrow...

I've just juiced some grapefruits and had that and a spring onion omelette for breakfast. I might make a cake with the half dozen pears in the fridge if they are ripe...

My lowest score was Personal Development, I scored myself a 5 but I am not sure if I am being too harsh on myself.
I have done lots of courses associated with work, I try to expand my horizons a bit but is that enough for me. I was thinking that to score a 10 I should be doing this all the time hence the low score. But actually having thought about it I am quite happy with my personal development - at the moment there is nothing really that I want to do with this so should my score be higher?

I also scored low in fun but that is because we don't have much money and I always associate fun with spending money - I really think I need to change my mind set as to me fun is spending time on the field with the animals even if that means clearing them out and that does not cost a penny.

Thanks MG for giving me something to think about.:T

EE - I think you have answered your own questions You feel all right on PD - if you didn't you would be having the "what am I supposed to be doing next" angst that loads of us are having at the mo.

5 - 7 for me means - everything is ticking over OK and this is not my major priority right now. If it was an issue it would have a low score and I would do something about it.

And it took me a long time to realise that Fun was Fun and Money was Money - and that I could have one without the other - they are seperate quadrants after all. So fun for me is the pets, the boys at the park, playing in the garden etc. Thankfully all FREE activities.

Good morning Matrix peeps,

Will try to catch up on thread later as I've only read 1 0r 2 posts

MG - Have one of these bento boxes - they're brilliant. Often when I'm making tea I just have it beside the plates & when I plate up 1 portion goes in box for next day's lunch.......

And am still coming to as overtime yesterday started @ 6am - meant getting up @ 4 :eek::eek::eek:

But have weighed in (after 5 days instead of 7 ) and have lost 4 lbs :j:j

And sunflower - you've made me feel guilty - need to do a bit of linked in editing too - & I must have missed your elbow post - what have you done to it?

Cheery_Daff

Oh dear sunflower!

well done for answering your own questions EE And pah to silly relatives

This morning I shall be mostly going back to bed with a cup of tea Planning a quiet one today - got a very busy week coming up, so I'll do some washing and get things ready for tomorrow, ring a couple of people, potter in the garden, and sit down with my plotting and scheming folder and see if I can do any cheery things towards my 18 month plan (that don't involve much effort) :T A happy day! :T

What have you done to your Elbow Sunflower??

EE yes you have helped thanks, To be honest I cannot understand people not wanting to work, I was working till I had my accident in the nursery, plus with my CP on top, I qualified for IB, I hate being on it, and would work full time in a job I'm trained for if I could but my back would not cope, but I do miss the job. I loved being a nursery nurse.

Well done woman - that is brilliant. I'm actually looking forward to Wednesday when I do my update (not enought to sneak a peek before hand though).

As long as its coming off I will be chuffed to bits - now that I have then next 100 days meal-planned I feel in mega control. I actually have 100 days with no single meal (apart fom some breakfasts) repeated, which ticks my boxes of eating a wider variety of foods. Somehow just writing down what we are having stops me having the "can't be bothered I'll just have toast moments"

And I am really feeling the "ahem" benefits of all the fruit, veg, pulses and grains. Everything got rather sluggish when I was on the painkillers I know, I know TMI :rotfl:

MG - that bento box - did I read right when you said you managed to get 3 for £8? If so, where, please, as the big one alone you linked to was up for £15.

I've got a 3-tier bento box, but it's not a thermal one, and I think it would be jolly good investment.

R.E. my elbow - I thought I had whinged at simply everyone by now. :rotfl: I've had a right fortnight of it! Firstly, I pulled the muscles in my shoulders (particularly the left one) quite badly, the the vertebraes in the top of my spine were clicking like crazy every time I moved as a result - I think (thank God for my college lecturer cracking my back for me and sorting it out :A), then I started to get pains down my left forearm that wouldn't go away and were quite bad, and Miss Physiotherpist on my course and Mr. Lecturer assure me that I've got tennis elbow (I've got to ice it to get the inflammation down). On top of this, I managed to smash my left wrist on a wall post (in an attempt to stop me falling over on a slippy pavement) and then smash it on a sale rack at work yeserday.

My left arm doesn't seem to like me very much at the minute! :rotfl:

Sorry Sunflower - all three were in a local Charity Shop - obviously I pounced on them PDQ as I have been watching them on ebay for yonks.

My bargain of the month certainly

Not doing too bad

2 loads of washing done, plus dinner cooking well meat and roasties, DH has just phoned to say he is finishing work, so he will come up the market and help me get the rest of the stuff from my mate. Couldn't carry it all yesterday.
