    Hey Buffy. We sound like we are in a similar position right now. I love murder she wrote - how they made so many is beyond me

    I think you should check out the website baggage reclaim if you have time. I spent a lot of yesterday reading articles on there. Helps to know that a) you are not alone and b) most of it is common sense stuff you know already but helps to see it in black and white

    Chin up - if you want to PM me please do - we sound very similar as I am also thinking of ways I could change my life - thinking of leaving the godforsaken rock I live on and having a compete career change but that in itself scares me!

    Hello Lula XX I shall have a look at that website in a bit, once the work is finished with. Shall focus on the essay for next couple of weeks and when it is the summer holidays I shall make my plans. Here's to changing our lives eh? XXX
    Ahem.


    "The hardest thing in this world is just to live in it."


    I reckon what you need right now is a challenge - something to do, aim for, work on. Whether that's writing a book, running a marathon or volunteering. (Guess which one I'm currently doing?:rotfl:)


    I confess I'm more of a Diagnosis Murder girl. Got me through many a miserable day.


    Congrats on the job - the whole payscale thing is getting me down to. They're playing silly beggars at my school currently with the whole thing too. Are you primary or secondary? Honestly I love the kids but the politics behind it is driving me to the edge.

    LOVE the quote :) and am also up for Diagnosis Murder! Pay scale wise I am just trying to think that it is enough to live on and will save as much as I can. That can be the next challenge.


    The politics is the main reason why I only work in temporary jobs. The mess created is just too stressful.

    When does the dissertation need to be finished by and have you started it?

    Remember ex's are ex's for a reason - nothing good will ever come of it....time to move on and take a stress factor out of your life.

    Gym membership - nah - you won't use it, if you want to get fit then get out and walk/run/jog/skip/limbo/rollerblade.

    Buying a house up north, more hassle than it's worth unless you've got a big savings account behind you - I follow several threads on the MFW boards where people have investment houses/flats and no end of them have problems collecting rent/repair bills....it would be another stress factor you can avoid.

    With house prices being cheaper up there would it not be more wise for you to look at moving up that way yourself? Is it something you'd consider?

    Oh and hurry up and get your decorating done so I can send you something lovely ;)


    My best friend lives up there and so it is something I have wanted to do for a while Maybe one day I would live up there, well I would have. However since I am skint it is all pie in the sky!


    Essay is due in at the start July. bit of a mare.


    Decorating is on serious hold till work is finished :)


    Went to visit my friend (brilliant) and her little girl (adorable) so am feeling a bit better.


    Had pizza for lunch followed by bananas and cream and revels!


    so now sleepy!

    Hello :)




    I have a job!


    school is a bit suss but it will do :) means I have pay! and no gaps on my cv


    am glad really, new job is nearer home and at least I have one. Bit disappointed in the pay tho. The BS that went on at my old school is coming home to roost and so am not being paid what I am worth at all.


    Tightening some belts as ever. Will be less petrol. lol.

    Congratulations :j:j:j :beer:

    I've seen a couple of the Brene Brown talks, and she makes a lot of sense.

    How are you getting on with your list? My weekend has been a huge fail in terms of getting-stuff-done. I've procrastinated, hibernated and buried my head a lot.

  • hello Snags XXX


    I have updated in purple. hamster escaped which rather hindered progress. Not remotely ready for tomorrow.


    I shall do desk and piggies tomorrow. It appears I only have two lessons tomorrow so lets not panic.


    Really need to work on essay.

  • Quick am shattered post before bed.


    1. GOOD day at work. People are nice. I got cake and a lolly. Kids are great fun.


    2. I was "consciously sad" for 15 minutes today. Sounds NUTS I know but some times this feeling of loss overwhelms me. takes my breath away and I am a little fricking tired of it. So today when I felt sad I decided I would do it later. again nuts. So tonight I sat on my bed and thought about all the things I missed about my ex, the future I had, the fun I had. Being held. being loved.
    I feel like I honoured it if that makes sense? I know it all sound over done but living as I do I don't have time to process or even think very often so I feel I need it.


    3. I started the essay (!) and actually think I have pretty good idea of what I am doing.


    must sleep now
