    The new routine has fallen by the wayside after one day :o and it will again tomorrow :o

    Today's reason for the wayside wandering, is purely because I'm so physically tired. I worked long and hard today, my legs are burning with tiredness. There was a lot of standing taking money then a lot of running up and down stairs and it's taken it's toll! I've done the everyday chores and animal chores but that's about it.

    Tomorrow is going to be a mainly admin day. I chased up the postponed interview and it's now going to take place on Thursday :T This means I must do my research/portfolio stuff tomorrow as I'm working all day on Wednesday. I think I will put the heating on and make it an admin morning and do the research into buildings/content insurance as my renewal is in. As well as breakdown insurance, both due at the end of the month :( Whilst I'm at it, I've found another job to apply for.

    If I don't run out of steam I'll put a couple of bits on eb@y, not my favourite task. And I'll have to declutter two batches as I haven't done that today either. Really need to eb@y as I still have the Captain's dentist bill to pay.

    I'm having a sprint at 5 NSDs in a row. There is petrol in the car and I have enough in the cupboards. The fare to the interview will be refunded by the job centre so in my book it doesn't count as a spend [hope you agree]

    Oooh good luck for Thursday will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you [I'll be the one walking funny and spilling mugs of tea ;)].

    It might take a while to get into a routine especially when you're trying to do it round work - just do what you can especially when you are cream crackered :D
