Only marginally!

I think tomorrow may have to be spent in the library, until I get at least 1000 words on my 2000 word literature review written.

good luck today on your essay writing

Lol. Well. No essay written today... got a message last night about 9pm telling me that I had a dissertation meeting at 2pm today and I woke up late anyway so didn't get any library time in.

Spend total for today - £2.60, 60p on some envelopes for the photos I'm selling tomorrow and £2 on a hot chocolate cos it was miserable out and I needed cheering up after having my brain rammed with important info

Spent the night doing things for our fair tomorrow, and I sense I will be up a bit late tonight as well doing more!

I think I may have to go and buy some more ingredients for tomorrow... stock levels are not looking good. Will be glad when it's over tbh! Thursday is the newly redesignated 'Day in the library for the lit review' day. Need to get it done! The sooner I get it done, the sooner I can hand it in, and the sooner I can do my other essay that's due after Christmas.

hope your fair goes well today

Thank you I was tossing and turning all night but I'm up and getting ready now so it's already off to a good start! I'll update later with how it goes. I'm tempted to draw a tenner out on the way up there because I know that I'll want to buy *something* when I get in... and it'll be a Christmas present. There's lots of food and drink stalls though so those would be a waste of money (going to take my own lunch) and will be avoided.

Hopefully I'll have sold a few prints of my photos today and I'll actually have earnt something from the day! All the profits from the stall I'm running (loosely based, I'll probably take £15 for my stock) will be going to charity - mine will be going to the Anaphylaxis Campaign. The photo money however (minus 10% to the club) is allllll mine Just hope people like them. They're not very Christmassy photos but they are, I believe, nice ones.

im sure people will like them & want to buy them

So, so tired. Stall didn't go great - we sold only about £60 (minus floats) and about £35 of that was on the raffle None of my christmas cards sold, and only one set of my gift tags sold. Also, I sold half of my decorations but one girl came back as hers had snapped in half, I have no idea how

Don't know if any of my photos sold, I went past the stall a few times and it didn't seem massively busy and there was a large stack of everyone's photos on the back of the table, I'll be surprised if any did sell. Ah well.

Money wise, I caved and bought myself lunch Massive turkey and stuffing bap Which was £3. I also bought a pot of Damson Jam for my parents hamper (£2.50), a sock bunny (£1.50), a photo (£1.50), a mince pie (25p) and a snowman tree decoration in aid of Breast Cancer Research (£1.50). Entered the raffle myself a few times and entered my sister/bf too, so I spent around £14.

Tomorrow was planned to be a library day but I now have a dissertation meeting at 2pm again As I'm so knackered tonight I'm hoping to be asleep by 10pm and be up about 7am tomorrow so I can go to the library in the morning, but we'll see if that actually happens! I have a terrible habit of being really tired for a few hours between 5pm and 8pm, swearing I'm going to bed early and getting a second wind about 10pm so I end up going to bed at midnight/1am again :rolleyes:

oh im sorry your stall didnt go too well. But least you gt some cmas prezzies and didnt spend the earth.

hope you get to sleep through

Lazy day today Got in from my dissertation meeting and now I'm going to eat before going back out again... Off to the carol service in the cathedral! It's run by the uni's Christian Union and whilst I'm not very religious at all (though I am becoming slightly more accepting of different faiths than I was in my rebellious teenage years) it's a) a lovely cathedral, and I've wanted to see inside it for some time, b) very Christmassy! and c) something I've wanted to participate in for some time.

Bit nervous about going alone but if I never do things alone I'll never do anything. Depending on what time it ends, I may go along to the library after it, though I think I'll just go after my lecture tomorrow instead now and tidy/write some Christmas card/sort out some laundry tonight.

NSD today! Yay
