    Thanks :)

    I had the BEST night sleep in ages after my bath and I didn't go to bed early or anything :) Lovely :)

    DS slept til 7.50 so had a quick shower and all dressed and ready to do anything for ages now :) About to make cakes with DD and hang the washing out when they're cooking.

    Today I want to :
    *Draw up a spreadsheet for my daily spends
    *Take part in Lynsey's positive challenge
    *Washing - put in and line dry. Hopefully iron as well.
    *Try to do Flylady challenge, but only if time.
    *Post letters
    *Go to the library- storytime & swap read library books & get DD's bookstart certificate
    *Read through exam marking bumph and check I've done what I need to so far.
    *Mark yr 7 assessments and create yr 7 true/false statements for tomorrows lesson
    *Buy only toothpaste and toothbrush from town - nothing else!Oh, and my prescription from drs.
    *Upload picutres to computer


    Probably need to do more, but that's all I'm putting for now! Got DD's dance class and SW tonight so will have to get as much done today as possible. There's a load nearly ready to go in the machine and I need to line dry that and the load ready to be hung out now. Will save money as won't be using the washing machine.

    Had really vivid dreams last night - can't remember what at the mo but I know it was fully mse! lol!:)

    Oh bless! DD is currently polishing the panels in the living room door that I didn't do yesterday as didn't want to bend down - so sweet! Now, when I set my timer she runs up asking what she can do to help me clean - doubt it'll stop in a few years so I'll make the most of it!

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day today.

    Sea xx

    Hi Sea.

    Sounds like your having a good day.

    Let me know how you get on a SW. So have you had a good week? Good luck only spending on tooth related products. I have to get some photos copied for my Aunt at lunchtime (she's paying) and I'm NOT going to spend anything else!

    I seem to be having a better week a couple of slip ups at the weekend, but I don't weigh in until Thursday night, so I could still do ok. But I'm at the stage where I'm just happy to lose anything!!

    Oh grrrrr. I'm really upset - apparently there are no vacancies for the online marking this year, even though I got the contract and everything through - I had assumed this meant I would be marking as it had full details etc. I'm upset as it's over £1000 for the work and could have really done with this obviously. :(

    Oh no!! That's a real bummer! Is there anything else you can do to make that sort of cash?

    I looked into exam marking a couple of years ago and didn't do it. I didn't think I was qualified enough (i have an english degree) that's really cr*p! After all your hard work to. But how is the debt battle going? It looks good.

    No nothing else :(

    Ah well, always next year!

    Been to town bought the toothpaste and toothbrush, a drink for dd and a 25p sale set of stamps as a bday present - down from £1.50 :D

    Also popped to the library and took back some books, got a few more out, including a money one :) Got there in time for storytime too.

    ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


    I'm shaking and feel sick.

    I have just had a really horrible man from HSBC telling me I'm thick basically and that CCCS have no idea what they are on about. He's made me cry now, even though I was really calm and finally ended the conversation calmly saying I don't think this is getting us anywhere, after he said he could ring me whenever he wanted, it wasn't harrassment, it was allowed cos I signed the agreement. I know this is nonsense, but it's the first horredness really since starting the DMp and I am jsut going to ignore the phonecalls now.

    Anyone know where I can get a letter template asking not to call me again?
