Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

YAY indeed to thesis, if its accepted I don't know if that means I graduate this month? I don't think I'll go down to Aberdeen, might go to the one in the cathedral here though

KK - OMG - poor you gazelles are beautiful though and chuckling about spending, did you not see my £32 spent on random food post - I'm bad to the bone

Busy in here putting kettle on - - will see what delights we have downstairs wierd having an upstairs living room - still not use to it.

Mrs M - yorkies rock (not the chocolate kind Red! That would be a rather random tea!!!!) whats in your pasta bake?

Red thank you for the dodgy hug I'm just a bit erghish - I'm running out of excuses to go into the office and I need to get on with more of the 'new life' - but I'm not good with change.

I need to formulate a new list which doesn't have thesis on it - I've loads of stuff to do for website etc and other bits - need to really get my head around what I'm doing now for work and home goodlifing

Got evening class stuff to develop
Got webstuff to do
Got polytunnel to put up
House to properly take apart and tidy and declutter
Family to provide nutritious food and distribute hugs too
A dog to walk
And a billion books to read
Oh, and find a job - but will wait and see if that other one will be advertised soon (we've a meeting next week)

Lobs brownies about and puts kettle on

ETA KC I'm fine but a bit randomly bereft - darn that pesky thesis being done, now I might have to get on with my proper life - *gulp*

Change is always hard, even when it has been eagerly anticipated. It amy sound daft but I think it is a little like a bereavement - the thesis has been with you a long while and not having it to 'care for' will leave a gap.


PS : Just because you finished your thesis doesn't mean you have to grow up, you know.

Tricia - thank you

I think a lot of truth in that not daft at all - 4 year of work in that crazy document - now odd not to have that to think about -

Grow up - bleurgh! Never.........................:)

It's a big adjustment! I found it really hard letting go of the nagging feeling in the back of my head that I should be doing something Handed mine in in Feb, and I'm only just really getting used to it now - sorry! (although I had 7 years of it, so maybe your mourning time will be slightly less?!)

Tricia always makes perfect sense

Pasta bake, erm random stuff out of freezer and veggie bag so erm......... onions, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, oregano, basil,( rosemary from my bay style tree outside front door) , garlic, pasta twists, white sauce and cheese topping with a few olives on top of that. Will do a garlic bread with it and some salad too (left over from lunch which was left overs from last night).

Pippi if you are in need of things to do I will always accept a visitor (especially one with as much energy as you )

Kittikins

Same here

i've still got a reservation notice on pippi's services when we get our house lol we'll certainly need them then.

pasta bake sounds yummy, though i'll descretely spit out the olives if you don't mind.

Karmacat

Yep, another one confirming what Tricia said

I caught one of the brownies you were lobbing about, btw

Lemon_Tree
