Jamiedodgers 2013 Diary

Morning all:)

Happy - yes got appointment from Friday thank goodness, hopefully by then the swelling will have gone down too.

Got most things done yesterday I had planned. Car is being collected for its MOT this morning at 9.30 and should be back to me by 2.30 fingers crossed. Gave it a bit of a Hoover then the heavens opened so couldn't finish it. Never mind.

Sausages out of freezer for dinner tonight. Day 4 of fiscal fast today and only a couple of things on the shopping list and they are not urgently needed.

Slept a little better last night, went to be about 10 ish woke up at midnight with pain, took tablets and back to sleep by 1am until alarm woke me at 5.45. Getting there slowly.

Plans for today.....no car, can't go anywhere so a full study day today, for a change I only have the mot in my diary! I am still ahead so hopefully a whole day on it today should put me a week in front, which will be very handy:)

Put petrol in yesterday, hoping this will last me until mid feb, slightly less than usual as I wanted some change so I topped up with an odd amount:D

Have a great day everyone x

Hi happy:) just noticed you had a diary.. Have subscribed:D

Even when Friday arrives it will be only a referral as I am severe dental phobic (complete wuss) and have all treatment done under sedation:( so will have to wait for a date to come through from the sedation clinic, but it won't be too long hopefully xx

Morning:)

Website opened this morning for new module starting 2nd feb:T had a quick look around and it's a bit daunting, although I usually feel like that before I start a new course lol.

Banking checked this morning and spreadsheets updated:)

Off to hospital with ds3 for his orthodontist appointment this morning. Will send him as usual on his transport bus, but pick him up from school at 10.10 as the school is only five mins away from the hospital, then drop him back there afterwards.

Various other bits to get done today but will fit them in where I can. Will try and get some studying done before I leave to get ds3. House is still looking like a laundry because of the weather we've had, roll on spring:) I am keeping on top of the washing but if I take my eye off the ball then it seems to breed within hours:eek:

Car passed its MOT with flying colours too

Off to take some painkillers and antibiotics in a min and make myself another cuppa:)

Have a good day xx

Hi JD

Been reading with interest every day You are one inspirational lady !! You have so much to cope with but do so admirably well and always sound so positive

I am trying to master the art of getting up early and getting things done .... Let's just say it's a work in progress :rotfl:

Hope things go ok when you get to the dentist !

Morning, I wasn't up early today but I do enjoy an early wake up to do the cleaning and ironing because I feel like my days my own when it's all done lol x

Coco :wave: I like the silence that comes with waking up early before the kids:D

I have some news.....assignment marked and scores are in.....88%:D

I am very pleased with that:j:T another pass 1:)

Can't rest on my laurels though...have another assignment due 21st feb lol

Morning:)

Feel much better this morning and my first nights sleep with no waking up:) off to dentist this afternoon:eek:

Dd is on inset so a quiet morning at home then off to see a friend around lunchtime then dentist and doctors after that.

Some £2's, coppers and a tenner in various pots this morning:) it's all building up.

Declaring January food spend at £195.09 which is just under my budget of £200.

Went shopping last night to sainsburys while dd was at cubs (this worked really well). While I was in there I picked up 6 reduced birthday presents for various people coming up in the next few months. You have to buy them when you see them otherwise they'll be gone when you need them:D anyway, another 6 people crossed off my present list, yay:j also spent a lot less than I usually do but it won't look like it:D

Looking at January's spends.....

I have gone way over budget in some categories but way under in others, this will happen every month ie only spent £5 out of clothing budget this month, can't see me needing to spend anything for feb or march either, but come spring I will start thinking about summer clothes for the kids then will spend loads no doubt:eek: on the other hand, spent way over budget on birthday presents, and will probably do the same next month but after that shouldn't need to buy any until end of the summer:) swings and roundabouts:D

Banking done, spreadsheets updated, a few direct debits out today and the majority will go out on Monday but everything is accounted for:)

Have a good day everyone x
