    Thanks Taxi :)
    Well, another beautiful day here, it's a shame to be sat inside really - can't wait for the end of the day so I can go home and sit in the garden!
    I don't think it'll be a NSD for me as I think I need to get petrol on the way home too, so I'll pop to Mr Ts and get some eggs too. Going to make a banana loaf tonight with a couple of black bananas, so that'll keep DH happy.
    To do list for today:
    - ring school
    - submit expenses
    - go on exercise bike
    - check online banking
    - get petrol
    - make banana loaf
    - tidy bedroom
    - sweep kitchen and utility floor
    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    - go on exercise bike - it's far too hot to go on the exercise bike :o
    - check online banking
    - get petrol

    - make banana loaf
    - tidy bedroom
    - sweep kitchen and utility floor

    Phew! I did go on the exercise bike, briefly, but it's far too hot for that :o but, I've done some housework instead, so hopefully that'll have burnt off some cals! Just the banana loaf to do, which I'll put in whilst the oven is on for tea :money:

    The sun has gone :( it's really gloomy here today. It actually could do with raining, as the air is still humid, and it certainly looks like it might today! Oh well, the sun was nice whilst it lasted :D
    My list for today:
    - check online banking
    - hoover downstairs
    - have a NSD
    - eat healthy!
    Quite a short list today :)

    It's so frustrating not to be able to make long term plans, it's really getting to me :( I'm trying to stay positive, but it's so hard.

    Thanks for that. I am trying to stay positive, but it's so difficult at the moment, as it feels like I'm letting DH down by not being able to secure a post :( I hate the fact that you have to rely on someone else giving you a chance, based on a small snap shot of what you are capable of, and that's it. I am going to try and stay positive, and keep hoping and applying - what else can I do?

    Ooo that would be dangerous! I love baking and so this is for DH - I am going to try my best to stay away from it though as I'm trying to lose a few lbs! Here's hoping :o

    - hoover downstairs
    - have a NSD
    - eat healthy!

    Done! Not only did I hoover the whole of the downstairs of our house but I did the stairs too (which I hate doing!) and all of the upstairs :) it makes you feel so much better too, having a tidy clean house :)

    I've also changed my address on things like my boots advantage card and nectar card, so I've been productive since I got home!

    My thinking is, the more I am doing things, the less time I have to dwell on other things.... :o
