How do you say hello in your new language?

You sound shattered, DDFW - don't you think its kind of natural, as well, to be that tired, when you've had that long a day? Lots of hugs! And I hope you sleep well, sounds great to be so productive, but you really need your sleep, of course. xx

Hey DDFW,

Sorry to hear that you're so tired, but I'm exhausted reading all that you've been doing / achieving, so I think some of it's understandable. If I was off waiting for a delivery, I'd probably just about make it to the 'getting dressed' stage, and only because I've holes in most of my pyjamas and wouldn't want to give the delivery people an eyeful, lol

Hope that your medication can get sorted out tho to allow things to be a bit easier for you, but you're doing great regardless x

Hola!

I should have explained KC - i was very tired before i started the day - all connected with illness i am sure rather than just a natural tiredness if that make sense?

How are things with you?

Like the way you are always up for new challenges DDFW! Go you!

Seeing OH do a storming time in the Brizzle Half Marathon on Sunday, and reading your posts above, makes me think need to shift my a@s this week and start running..otherwise all these resolutions of mine will be gone for another year! Wish me luck!

Hello all!

Well it has been a very busy week and i have a day off tomorrow with much to achieve - i am off work tomorrow due to having a weekend shift this weekend so not really gaining any time as such.

I have tried to make a head start tonight with all that i need to do - currently printing reams of uni stuff off - shocked at the fees and how much has been sent virtually. Ok i *know* its my choice to print it off but i need to for several reasons: 1, printed i can take it anywhere and read / use it anywhere 2, i also find it easier to read, highlight, makes notes on the print-out 3, my eyesight isn't the best and i am at a computer all day i find reading off a page easier on my eyes which have somewhat deteriorated since my last check up. So not very frugal for ink and paper but considering what i'm printing i'll be using pretty much daily for the next 6 months then i think its a necessary expense.

Listed 2 items on the bay of e - 3rd item to be done tomorrow as the light wasn't good enough to get a good picture.

Paid bay of e fees and requested pp money

Checked cashback and requested available payout

Lifted out 4 different meat packs ready to turn into meals tomorrow.

Got screened out of lots of surveys.

Done some paper shredding.

Caught up with a friend.

Kept up with several others via messaging.

Pots washed, dried, moved.

Oh dear! Thats really not enough is it?! :rotfl::rotfl: In my defence the printing out has been a complete faff to do

I've also had tea & decluttered a program, checked i've purchased the right text for my language class (I have! :T) and tried on a new outfit

This last week has been busy with work, general life stuff - grocery shopping, sorting out paperwork etc. and not 1, not 2 but 3 nights out - all in the same week :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Much fun was had and the evenings were really quite frugal - using vouchers for meals and suchlike Of course having a good time and a proper belly laugh has been great but to be constantly up and about has been tiring. I confess to buying a couple of reduced meals for a quick tea after my language class and after work 1 night - hence lifting out the meat and getting on with some cooking tomorrow :cool:

That sounds like loads, and your list tomorrow is daunting! You put me to shame, lol. I can sit here and think 'wow DDFW is getting loads done' while I consider getting up to put the kettle on again as a bit too much like hard work.

Btw I'd like to clarify that I haven't actually answered the door in 'holey' pyjamas...but I'll be sure to share if I have any delivery related 'incidents' lol x
