That's cos you get to about 3/4 of the pack and then think "I'm so near the end I may as well finish it" no? Just me then

Evening all! Mum and her partner didn't seem so negative about my plan today
They just said okay as if they didn't believe I could get the funding etc and I won't go all the way through with it but that's fine coz I still have my fiance and my friends supporting me

Oh, OK then. Guilt tripped by both you and the dog: whatever next!That's cos you get to about 3/4 of the pack and then think "I'm so near the end I may as well finish it" no? Just me then
Hopefully it'll be a better day health and fitness-wise tomorrowand I may try to work on some presentation slides tomorrow night while watching crap on TV so I'm not so stressed about going back to work next week...
See you all tomorrow0 -

I used to also pet/house sit when I lived at home (before I had my own pets), had a few regular people and used to get recommendations. You are usually cheaper than a cattery/kennels, the animal gets less stressed and they also have their house looked afterMortgage: 2011: 86000 - now: 499000 -

...plus you get away from your mum for a bit, don't cost her money while you're away, usually get some food provided, and should still be able to fit in other work as they don't usually expect you to be there 24/7 (most pet owners aren't). If you do house sitting make sure you ask if you can use their broadband while you're staying. Most people will let you, although obviously you need to remember that lots of people have metered access, so don't go downloading lots of music or films!

Just a quick 'hi'!
Yet again it's taken me a few days to catch up on two weeks worth of posts!
Now I don't know where I should try to start on catching up with 'the other side' and also MG's blog.
The blog will probs be the best bet then try with the other side.
Loving the motivation and excellent advice and support, yet again.
Oh, a little while ago someone mentioned they had a pal who had their own letterpress? I am so interested in this and would love to get a little more advice if that's possible.
Also MG, you were asking if anyone could convert tapes to mp3 (also a while ago). Did you get this sorted? We can do it if you still need it doing, please get in touch.
Anyway, I can't even think about who I want to be tomorrow except the 'girl' I look forward to being for a week whilst at the Glastonbury festival. Unfortunately I have returned to being not so positive or even happy since returned a week ago. It's the whole 'reality' thing, it sucks! I much prefer to be that happy-go-lucky, don't-give-two-hoots person so maybe, for one more day only I can try to be that person except that I am attending the funeral of my uncle tomorrow afternoon so maybe the hippy chick will have to be toned down a tad!
Good night all, I look forward to reading your threads tomorrow.

Morning Matrixettes
Today I think I will have to be Noah's Wife - there has been so much rain overnight that I swear saw elephants go past 2 by 2 earlier :rotfl:
Would also appear that I have woken up with a cold - stuffed nose, sore sinuses and that hurting all over feeling - Ah well!!! Boys have called a jammie's day anyway so we will all hang around here.
Got a Mind Map to finish and pop in the post today - so I can have a productive and lucrative day even if the sun is not out.

Morning!
MG I envy you for you beautiful mindmaps. My attempts are far from pretty but well I guess they do fill their purpose.
Got up early for frog choping. Feeling better for it now. All holiday clubs are now booked and paid :j also paid installment toward my animal course in the autmn - cant wait :j :j and set up the rest installments to go automatically, also set up SO for rent. No more needing to worry/think about them.
Still BG to tackle but that can be done during the lunch break. They have been utter twots. :mad:
Tonight there are two tasks and please give me a kick up the backside if I don't come back here to say that I have done them
1. upgrade operating system on PC and install MOS 2010
2. make a start in sorting out my clothes (15 minutes would be good)"Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Morning Matrix-ers
It's heavy rain here today but I really like that some times. Not only are we desperate for a bit more water in our region it does mean I don't have to water the gardenI lay in bed this morning listening to the rain.......sometimes I wonder if there really is a better sound than that
Plans today are to finally finish the bunting for DD's party in 2 weeks time. And perhaps bake some cupcakes to freeze for party too.
The rest of the time will be spent with housework, I really have done none this week
As per MG's blog post I decided my QRT shouldn't revolve around the computer and TV, too passive. So whilst H was out last night and kids were in bed I was prancing around the lounge to Lady GaGa. And boy did it feel good

Morning Matrix. Have had stuff all sleep, so I am wearing the "Extra in a Zombie Flick" look today. Would love to take a day off, but have a meeting this afternoon which I have to go to...also, work has finally got round to giving me the new Office 2010 software... so I am spending most of today working my way around it all!
