5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

HelenDaveKids

Thanks NP, trying to stay positive, I can always diet later....

Did watch HUTH on Wednesday as part of a study break, Im sure its allowed, I looked at my referencing whilst relaxing... Doesnt feel like a day off without it.

Did you watch Kevin tonight and that guys castle? Absolutely WOW!!!

No MFW' today bar some DY and SB and adpoints.

Didn't see GD, will probably do a catchup at some point this evening though (along with more4's LLLs).

Oh so love my housey fix. So need to do some painting, but only after my last assignment is in.

Have checked morgage account and now just a teeny bit under 62K. Hoping that next month can go below 60k but we'll see. Still 'owe' a bit from my savings account so serious money shuffling may do it but will be tight.

Thought i was working tomorrow, on house calender but im not. whit woo. actually off till wednesday as put in a/l for tuesday as dd2 has an opa. Nothing like a busmans holiday! opa is 9.15 so hopefully will still manage some assignment time.

DH wants to go away at half term, unfortunately I am down to work BH mon, Thu and fri as I split half terms with job share, he wants to go camping and I'll be honest, I am not keen. So have suggested he goes and I'll drive down between work days, so we will see as apart from night shifts which I havent done for several years, we havent slept apart. Definitely cheaper than a B&B..

Claiming my 5th £5 amazon voucher on SB and half way to next one.

Working hard on doo yoo but Im finding doo yoo to have a negative impact on my spending, up to yet having read reviews, ive bought some solar fairy lights and today i bought a banana ice cream maker... not sure this is going in the right direction!

Lawns done plus about 5 loads of washing including all the sheets and duvet covers as well as towels etc etc. All 3 lines full all day so no need to dry on radiators. Will do blankets tomorrw if stays hot.

Been avid dooyoo'er for 2 weeks and up to £8 + (i think £20 is cash in level) unfortunately not that good but am trying to improve...

Have decided to focus my brain on getting through this module as dominates my free time at the moment, sick of pile of stuff on dining chair (foot stool full!) so need to crack on.

New job very tough at the moment, and if honest, is causing my work life balance to tip in wrong direction and feel quite stressy about it all. Feel a bit overwhelmed by workload and feel like Im balancing a ridiculous number of balls in the air. Also experiencing some physical symptoms... so clearly just a bit too busy at mo and have crossed that line.. Not quite sure what to do about it, so riding the waves...sure it'll sort itself out in the wash.

HDK - I absolutely insist that you have an entire day off EVERYTHING
(except module work - you can do a wee bit as I know this is hanging over you)

Chuck some money at the housework and pay the girls to do a bit of clearing up whilst you have some 'HDK time'.

Thanks Np, have done 3 loads and now all the blankets are drying nicely and sat in swing seat outside doing nada. Have even got my pork sausage coloured legs out...

nattypants

HDK - your description of your legs has me lolling :rotfl:

Glad you had semi relaxing day in the sunshine....it was really dull up my way and quite chilly (the naughty side of me being secretly pleased - karma will bite me in the a** for saying that, but hey I was working dammit:p)

Thanks NP, was red hot here and have burnt my nose slightly and have very obvious T shirt marks.

Off tomoz dd2 has opa but dd3 has just started throwing up so have had to arrange some emergency childcare for a couple of hours, so great having retired parents.

No work done today was v lazy.

Thanks Tilly. Shes sleeping soundly now but still feels clammy to touch. Don't think school would appreciate sharing of lurgy! Will nip dd2 to hospital and be back quite quickly if last appointment anything to go by.
