Exhausting but fun day at work - here's hoping tomorrow brings much of the same:D Had the cutest customer ever who was a sweet, wee 3 year old, I remember I had one of those not the hulking great teen....
Have now done ironing so having the rest of the night off to watch a film with the aforementioned teen and LM, maybe some wine for me but that might lead to napping I fear:oMortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Today's plan is run, shopping and housework then finish last presentation...zzz.... yesterday's presentation went really badly and I'm close to throwing in the towel but suppose got to keep going.

Results are in - passed thank goodness but was awful.
First run of the year without a jacket earlier and it was really warm hope it stays this way for a wee while as all washing has been done, ironed and put away:D Still watching the weight but have told DS we both need to eat healthier stuff (don't like him to know I'm dieting) and I must say he seems to be enjoying it - not starving him as he gets bigger portions and more snacks.Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Well done :TA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Apparently I need to buy cheese - an hour after healthy dinner DS was making himself a toastie and there's no cheese:D Suppose it's better than crisps but he's a 5 foot 10 beanpole yet there's no filling him!
Feeling more positive today (thankfully).Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Ahhhh scunnered I remember it very well ... I'm dreading going back to scunnered as well
But you passed, so that's another wee hurdle done, nearly the year finished, it's very common to feel like this at this stage..... And that's where plodding comes into it's own
Keep going, think of the prize at the end
How's the house !!!!!! going ?0 -
I shall keep going for now El but the thought of another couple of years fills me with dread:o hopefully your new course will suit you much better so will be a different experience.
Going to view something on Fri - it's cheaper than other places we've spotted but still ticks most boxes, we shall have to compromise on somethings but no one house we can afford ticks all boxes so it's just a case of which suits best. To be honest I think there's always something even if you had all the money in the world there would still be house a with huge lounge v house b in nicer area decisions...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
