5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

You are amazing with eBay HDK, I haven't listed since about page 10 of my diary:p

Well done on the assignment writing, I have been looking into undertaking a course of study - I am currently under qualified re the next logical career move, so will have to seriously consider this. I don't know where you get your energy from - by Friday evening I am so knacked I don't know if I would have the self discipline to do any studying, let alone writing assessments:eek:

Have got to ebay NP, as Ive piled everything up in utility room, looks like the back room of a charity shop! plus relisted nearly every item, only a few new ones. Keep[ thinking if dont sell will take to next school fayre, which i did with a fair bit just before christmas.

Thats the reason I have to do this course, all the baby ones of me are coming through as of this year, having done at least a degree but often a masters, plus even at my level a masters is "desirable". Some of my colleagues are doing doctorates however once Ive done this, I can honestly say, pass or fail, never doing anything like this again. Been at it over 3 years now, fortunately my last module equalled a qualification so even if i fluff this year i won't have come out with nothing. My rationale was to do it whilst part time till dd3 went to secondary school (which is this sept) but have been fulltime for a long time now and never worked true part time anyway as always pulled in extra shifts.

Agree, totally knackered by end of week. Struggle to motivate self, and would rather clean which demonstrates my love of it!. Havent done any today at all. roll on October!

Well done on getting so far into the essay with time to spare. I've found it easier doing it that way (and the essay is better quality) but then life gets in the way...

If i don't get it done early i go into melt down, then I cant think as too scared, Im a complete baby!. still have 3000 words to do so not there yet unfortunately.

But only 4 more assignments ever to do...

Congrats with all the ebaying, fingers crossed it all sells so that you can get some space back.....

HelenDaveKids

Thanks Lula. DH was putting me in an extra socket in lounge today so took off into bedroom and had a good sort. Listed all of my 100 now with a small pile ready for March. Have 3 bidded items and a few watchers.

Girls had a different task today, completely clear their rubbish and hoover/dust/sort rooms rather than general cleaning.

Have finished ironing school clothes etc and also sorted my own bedroom as had quite a few birthday pressies still piled up in there as well as a general muck out through my drawers, large charity bag next to door too.

Can you do eBay for me also? Please?

HelenDaveKids

Yeah, no worries Np, put kettle on and Ill pop round... Quite cathartic although doesn't actually make that much actually money versus time spent! Have 4 items with bids but thats out of a 100! Oh well... still time left.

Managed another 500 words yesterday but only about 50 if that today, so still over 2000 to go, as did the shopping, zumba at a different leisure centre then BF's for lunch and catch up. Now nearly 3pm so will do school run then early tea as music tonight and DH working v late so wont be able to nip to gym (hence morning zumba).
Also did adpoints and a couple of surveys (yes i should have been studying)

Booked LBT' for tomoz am as doing a twilight so cant do aerobics whilst kids swimming. I actually could get used to being at home in the day!! Havent managed HUTH yet, gutted.

right off to fetch youngest darling..

Nightmare drive to work, was 30 minutes late and left 40 minutes early but roads horrendous as canking it down. Drive home better as no traffic - just me and the roads! But ooo lovely overtime pay!

Another 400 words done, now past halfway mark, so its back is officially broken. Kids inset day on Friday and have said they can all have a mate to sleepover thursday so fingers crossed theyll behave beautifully and I can crack on. Everyone popping in today so bit stop start plus did nasty nasty LBT which was a killer.

Another Long day overtime at weekend, just concerned how much the taxman will let me keep!
