    Lay awake alot of the night - worry worry worry. The clock change thing always puts me out of sorts too - although the return to GMT not as much as the move to BST.
    Lots to do and think about - not enjoying any of it at moment. Return to work tomorrow - 2 new staff to break in - sorry take through the induction procedure which is usually to tell them to wear a suit of armour,dispel any myth that Addtional Needs in Education is a walk in the park and dont be afraid to ask about any 'choice language' you dont understand. Also have 2 new frogs starting - they come with the the new staff...........frogs cant be that bad can they??? Well I know their track record which at 5 years old is already legendary- and yes they are.

    Having a carp time - headaches again. Ended up at the hospital last night as I was close on killing someone! Another cocktail of drugs to take but have got referral to ENT confirmed. Have booked a reflexology session tonight - looking forward to that :). Turned down a night out with friends - on the grounds of it costing too much. So proposer decided to have an evening at hers as she too is feeling the pinch but felt too embarrased to say - much better idea!

    Hi Igamogam

    I hope you're feeling a bit better today. Those headaches of yours sound really horrible. I hope your appointment comes soon and that they actually manage to help you.

    How are the frogs doing? Particularly the new ones? And how's the debt-busting going?

    :)

    Proper crook at the moment Ani - not headaches but the result of the cocktail of drugs taken to sort out head :( Off work at moment and not up to doing much. Hoping to feel up to something by end of weekend.

    Well for the first time in many many weeks I am feeling a better - hope now its all behind me.Have lurked on other boards but havent really been up to adding anything here whilst I have been ill. I am due back in work on Friday - Friday is always an 'easy' day for me but I have a feeling there will be fall out to deal with........ of the nuclear variety........ho hum. I am feeling I can concentrate on getting house, finances, life in general back on track now. At least whilst I have been laid up there hasnt been any spending, I have saved about £100 in diesel and have lost weight - now weighing in at 13st12lbs. And my goal as to be under 14st by Chritstmas so now I am going to keep it there! Back to the Sunday morning weigh ins and lists I think. Lots of lists..............:)

    Sunday morning weigh in - 13st 12lbs - the weight I lost whilst ill is staying off :)

    Money - net flow out at the moment - I am in denial I think. However have made some good sales on Eb*y and used my paypal account for present buying. Also used Top c*ash and earned about £20 so far and used T*sco double up voluchers to but DD2 a new phone which is her birthday present ( just after Christmas) so maybe when I tot it all up it will not be too bad. Have save £98 in £2 ( thank you £2 savers forum) which I am using for a family meal out on Christmas Eve and my Christmas night out with a group of very close female friends ( thankfully work doesnt have a night out - we are all too cream crackered at this time of year).

    Christmas - pretty much organised now . Need to concentrate on house now - OH is about to cut a large hole in ceiling..........long story.

    Been off work for 3 weeks feeling pretty vile most of the time - back in on Monday to deal with the fall out of me ot being there :(

    Thinking about 2012 - I have plans plans and more plans. Must make lists lists and more lists!

    Well hole in ceiling went OK - its a solar tube thing - we live in a very old cottage with small windows and the main living room is quite dark even on the brightest of brightest days so this hopefully will bring a little more natural light into the place - ironically at this time of year we wont notice until the weekend as we are off to work in the dark and home in the dark! Will have to ask the cats what they think :)
