Back to the earlier lack of enthusiasm and motivation I have achieved almost nothing today! I knew my positive feelings couldn't last too long!

I have so far today:
-Washed up
-Finished making another Christmas card
-Finished reading the Hunger Games Mockingjay
-Made my bed (thrown the duvet over it!)
-Caught up on a bit of iPlayer that's been waiting ages to be watched

I still need to:
-Print a job application to complete tomorrow while I'm volunteering done
-Create a poster for a concertdone
-Make and print tickets for above concert done
-Return book and DVDs to my SIL done - made much easier by the fact she came round for something!

You and Me both Sligo!!

Well I have been useless for the last week or so - survved the SIL wedding, despite the MIL telling me I looked a bit fat in my frock!! I don't care I got into the bloody thing!!

So I'm back on track - trying to get the organised part of my brain in gear before the school term starts!!

Today I want to

• Bake cookies with Xan
• Wipe down sides
• Wash Up
• 10 new things in the ebay shop
• Write up new stock on the spreadsheet
• File new stock folders
• DY review
• put bins and recyling out
• change litter tray

Another busy day volunteering so far! Got a little frustrated at one point but managed to keep my cool by going off to hide somewhere for a minute or two! At least I'm now home and having a quiet half hour before I crack on again!

It hasn't been the most productive of days today as I've been out for a friend's birthday. But it's been nice to get away for the day.
Yesterday I had a very productive morning which was fortunate as my BFs hot air balloon flight was cancelled so he came over for the afternoon rather than stay at work!
Yesterday I:
-rang the job centre to ask about my first payment (this is a massive deal for me as I have a bit of a phone phobia!)
-Had a good job search and have a couple of schools to phone on Monday to arrange a visit
-Posted a job application
-bought stamps for other applications
-Signed on
-Tidied up
-Went for a walk
-Bought treats for the rabbit
-Washed up (twice!)

Today I've mainly survived a long walk round York and Cubs which was pretty fun with 3 police officers coming to talk about their jobs for the Community Challenge and am currently (finally!) emptying my camera memory cards! (Though I'm only really doing this ready for a day out tomorrow when i'm going to play with a DSLR for the afternoon!!

Jobs for this weekend (When I'm at home!)
-Change and wash my bedding
-Make 3 Thanks cards for the officers who visited us tonight
-Make a new baby card for the cubs to sign next Friday Done
-Email photos from tonight to webmaster Done Though it didn't get done until Sunday as my laptop was being stupid!
-Application form for a nursery job done
-Finish updating my CV Done

Have a great weekend everyone!
