Morning World!

Well i am up earlier today than yesterday but still nowhere near as early as i wanted to be! Not much i can do about it now - once again getting to sleep after 3am meant i missed an 8am start on the day Hopefully when i am better then i'll sleep better too! I am tired still but have alot of stuff to do for my assignment which i'll start in a few minutes.

Yesterday i managed to select 4 bags to get rid of :T - 2 for the bay of 2 and 2 for the carbooty and i also put a fancy tin in the carbooty bag as well So my decluttering continues apace - i am well aware i'd need to part with another bag to enable me to get the new work bag but the one i'd selected i may as well keep and use as they are going for so little on the bay of e just now - and besides i do like this bag anyway and there is no point in getting rid of things just for the sake of it - the bags that are going i don't use now - and 1 of the bags as i say was for wool storage - i have no room for things like that in this house sadly and i need the space and the money rather than keep things in the hope of eventually moving - which is what i ideally want to do!

The system of working on my assignemnt but littering it with breaks works well for me so i am going to crack on for at least 20mins when i've got off here and the next thing i'm going to organise / declutter are my scarves I *really dislike* where they are stored now and am convinced that its the fact that they are so hard to get to which stops me making the effort to wear different ones. So i am going to lift them out and sort through them bit by bit - like i did with the bags In fact the storage space created by the bags going has left plenty of room for these to be moved to a more accessible space - hopefully i'll manage to part with some too *fingers crossed* I also like the distraction of getting up and physically doing something so when i return to my writing i feel refocused and re-energised :T I'll report back in later xx

Urgh! Not feeling great again - i hadn't eaten when i posted before and now i have an upset tummy again!!! I am sure the docs have no idea how much disruption this causes my life and how much time is wasted for me being ill I shall have to emphasize this on my next appointment!!

I have still managed to make more progress with my assignment (though no completed sections as yet *eep!*) and i have also:-

lifted scarves out of place they were in
selected 2 for the carbooty :T
had a shower - needed one and used up the last bits of 2 tubs i started using this year

So the decluttering is going pretty well - i'll try and refocus on the assignment for a bit now but i do feel _pale_

Hope everyone else is having a good day xx

Super quick update before tea

So yes, i've made tea again - was hoping to ask my Mr to do this so i could have more time on my assignment but he is at work and as i got hungry cooking it did distract me - and i won't need to wait as long to eat when he does get home

I'm very anxious about the assignment but just keep telling myself that as long as i hand *something* in then that is the main thing!! With *fingers crossed* that i at least pass

I'll update with any more progress tomorrow - still pulling it all together got some bits drafted out :cool:

What was it i wanted to share?

Oh yes - today will be an NSD - i am not going out or doing any on-line shopping so another NSD on the board for me :T

And my amaz*n vouchers - i am going to save them!! I really want / need a netbook - given my commute to work it would really help with my TMA work so i am going to try and save for one of these

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm good thanks Picked up a couple of bargains at the boot sale this morning for the baby. But sadly DH and I failed the first parenting test of assembling the travel cot :rotfl: Our poor child! We did manage it eventually though

:T to the bargains - :rotfl::rotfl: to assembling the travel cot - you got there in end

I cannot believe how soon you are due :eek: Where did that time go ? I'll quickly PM you - this assignment has me in a complete panic!

Hey all - dragged all the assignment bits together - got so much to do still i am in something of a panic but my ability to write legibly and sensibly has scarpered now so i am going to bed and setting the alarm for super early and dragging my sloth like self out of bed and hitting the books !! I'll report back with an update again tomorrow - hope everyone is good.

Naughty spend of the day = a new pair of earings for when i go out next month They are somewhat strikingly beautiful though I'd never have got them if i didn't have to trail to the shop for my mum in my lunch hour - tomorrow i'll stay at my desk with my course stuff

Aw thanks LAM - it must be very dull for people reading me post ill again (as i was yesterday / last night ) But part of it is that i'm keeping a record so if needed i can check back and say so i was ill x days out of x. If that makes sense! Hope all is good with you ?

I am *paniced* over this assignment :eek: i have a very busy 4 weeks of TMA's and NVQ stuff :eek:

*positive vibes* for the the tma please people - i'm sure that was a huge help last time xx

I hope you got the TMA done OK. A bit daunting to have several assignments due over the next 4 weeks but I am sure you will manage it.

If there is no easy answer to your stomach problems, and I know that frustratingly it is often the case, do you know what else can be done? Have you already tried exclusion diets? It has gone on so long that no wonder you feel exhausted much of the time.
