Yeah I've began hand writting it so at least I have something to work with that'll save some time. I forgot I have an exam tomorrow and my partners mum just called up to say my partner is being taken to hospital for severe chest pains... He had open heart surgery a year ago but he ended up having about 3 heart attacks during recovery. He's only 18 (im 19) im super stressed im juat sat here crying and shaking. Im so worried

I hope everything is ok! Surely you can get something to allow a resit of exam due to circumstances?? huge hugs to you xxx

Did the exam was easy and because I finished 10 mins early I was allowed to leave.


Just a quick updated to say thank you for your support, hes back home now, turns out he might have tore a muscle under his rib thanks to his mate who threw a rugby ball at his chest the doctors said its more painful then heart surgery which is why hes in so much pain.I spoke to him on the phone and he seems himself which is a good thing

Things I have done today As im home ill;
Exam
Put shoes away
Tided make up desk
Washed my foundation brushes
Typed up 1 assignment question using my sisters laptop
Made bed

And all whilst I am ill lmao

Phew, thats great news on both fronts charleybear

charleybear

Yeah
Woohoo might be getting my laptop tomorrow im so excited.

I did a few final things before going to bed.
sorted out my in/out tray
got rid of un-needed past assignment notes,
Organized my current assignment & notes so all the notes and questions are together

I created myself a ''aim for (date) focus task" wipeboard thing using a plastic wallet and a piece of paper, so now I can set my self 3 mini tasks to do in one day and write an extra smaller task to do if I finished them. I thought it'll help me focus on my coursework better now i've organized everything else lol.

Tomorrows "focus tasks" are;
Type up E2 using rough answer
Type up D1 & D2 using rough answer
Write/type up E3 using notes
Smaller task is to add quotes to E1

Looking back i've done quite a bit today!

I still feel like i am flailing around a bit and not getting much done, (but apparently that is one of my negative thoughts according to psych so am trying not to pay it too much attention lol).

Today i would like to:

wash dishes - done
tidy up back patio - done
put clean clothes away
list items for selling on ebay, facebook and gumtree - done
blog update
free bingo - done
app trailers
swaggers
general tidy
move some more stuff into the caravan. - done

think that will do for now

I'm no expert but if you feel like you're flailing around at times, have you tried writing a list of things to do in the order they need doing. Then as you cross off the things you've done you'll see a greater sense of achievement rather than doing and crossing things off in no order and feeling higgledy-piggledy. Just a thought xx

Yes i've tried starting at the first item on my list and working through, but i think its just my MH makes me a bit higgledy piggledy in general LOL! I think I'm just being hard on myself too, considering everything i am managing to do while not well and the whole break up thing i'm doing more than a lot of people in my situation, i'm just used to doing a lot more than i am now........I think :rotfl::rotfl:

his_missus

Maybe Fairy, you need to write each task on a small post-it note, stick them all on the fridge (or door or wherever) all higgledy-piggeldy (not in a neat, organised layout) and as you do each one, throw away the post-it then you'll see the "list" decreasing. Would cost you a small fortune in post-it notes though

I haven't got much completed today.
I got my laptop !! it runs so smoothly now &
the new windows 8 set up is really useful - lots of short cuts instead of
going to one file to get to another to get to other files lol.


Tomorrow
- placement
- E2, E3, E4 , D1 , D2 questions to type up/be attempted to do
- sort wardrobe out
- put washing away
