    Thanks TC. I do work better under pressure so hopefully I will be ok with studying :/

    I'm still not right today but guess these things can take time.

    Looking forward to tonight - DD will have a session on pony in the big school. Taking it slowly as they're both a bit unsure of it but they have made great progress already. I'm going to wait to ride until tomorrow as I'm trying to balance it out between us - I don't like rushing too much and always do when I've 2 to get rode and muck out etc. When we have our own place it'll be different :D

    Chickens are taking themselves to bed alot earlier these days - their egg production has pretty much stopped, bar one, as they're all moulting.

    Curtains are getting closed earlier and earlier now the nights are drawing in - I do love Autumn changes though.

    No surveys done today - will get some done later.

    I overpaid CCV 13.27 last night so I can safely say I've met and smashed my initial £10 a month overpayment. I'll give final figures on pay day (25th) so plenty more chances to go yet.

    Ald1 tonight, collect dogs prescription and something else which escapes me. Tea will be omlette for DH as we've got 3 days worth of eggs finally! Kids can have fish fingers and I will have toast or something until I'm better completely. I'll get some meat out of the freezer to pop in the SC tomorrow for a meat and mash night.

    Off to check accounts and diaries. Have a great day everyone.

  • OK I need a list. Almost finished work for now - on for hour tonight, so my mind has turned to things to do at home.

    I feel like I can get organised then a day later chaos has ensued. I have so many things buzzing around my head to do that nothing's getting done then I get frustrated.

    OK so firstly a good hoover and dust the whole way through. Then the bathroom needs a scrub down and the kitchen too. There's a theme here.....and along with my sickness I've been having I'm getting worried......

    Anyway after that I want to sort out the drawers that have since become a dumping ground and do the ironing. I would like to give a few places a lick of paint but maybe that has to wait and a wash down suffice for now. Right once the above is done I wil be back with more.

  • Thankfully my sickness has gone and hopefully won't come back! I've been trying to eat healthily so hoping that has helped. We're very much trying to eat more naturally and more fruit and veg. I'm starting making my own bread again too - I might have said this already - long day.

    I am over the moon with small pony and DD - they worked as a cracking team tonight practicing sj - they both love it which is fab to see!

    It's big girls turn tomorrow however she's getting her flu jab so she won't be able to get a sweat on so probs won't jump.

    I've managed to tidy and clean the kitchen - tomorrow morning I'm going to try and do the hoovering the whole way through and dust before work. That's on top of surveys and usual school morning.

    Well I haven't managed to hoover and dust lol but I did do everything I needed to for a day at school & work! Better than nothing.

    I've made another small payment today to keep accounts at round figures.

    I feel sickly again this morning, however I'm chewed up quite a bit over a couple of things - should be sorted by the weekend so if I don't feel myself come Sunday then I think I shall be ventuing to the shop for a P test which sounds very silly from a grown woman who should know if there's a chance or not - now realistically there isn't but due to an error with monthly pill, I am worrying. That won't help and is probably the root cause, opposed to actually being pregnant!

    Anyway - more than likely it's a no, but I need to find out what's going on - anxiety, pregnant or ill. Something's got to give.

    Tea tonight is chicken in gravy with veg - yum, looking forward to it. Then off to yard and working 8-10. Tomorrow we're at a festival thing which I've never been to in my life so no idea how that will be!

  • This morning's rant is over with - I'm feeling more myself now :)

    I've just had a quick nosey on z00pla at houses and worked out what mortgage/income we'd need to get the one that's out there now that we'd have if we could. It's all do-able though the stamp duty is ridiculous!!!!! How can they justify that.

    Anyway - I shall get a couple of surveys done tonight - did yougov this morning but they took for ever unusually. Need to get in the game with [EMAIL="sw@gs"]sw@gs[/EMAIL] but screen out quite a bit this week.

    0nepoll coming along slowly but surely which I like.

    The vet's doing the flu jab for the big girl today and I've asked her to check pony's back as he has some strange lumps that aren't bothering him. Will see what she says as YO kindly handling in my absence.

    Revision time now.

    Mulling over what to have tomorrow - maybe a sausage casserole again as that was nice, or sausage pasta. I'll look on other forums for inspiration or pwps' diary lol!

  • Feeling very tired tonight, the week is catching up with me.

    I'm going to head to bed and revise for an hour if I can make it that long. Friday tomorrow :)

  • Hope you had a good night's sleep, I'm also shattered this week.

    Nothing inspiring on my thread I'm afraid, meals have gone down hill this week and it's Jkt spuds tonight.

    It's Friday - yippeeee!

    Well, penny - as it turned out - my YO gave me some free fresh fish last night. He'd been given a boat load from a lesson he teachers (they're fishmongers) and there's only him who eats it so he gave me some. We'll have that tonight but I have no idea what with as don't cook fresh fish. We have LO mash and cauli if that would go? No idea what sauce though?

    Well I've been asked to 3 McMillan coffee mornings which is fab so I'm going to do my bit and try and make something for each. My Mam's is one of them and as you may know she's had breast cancer this year so that is obviously very important for me. I've ordered some individual cup cake holders and loaf liners from eb@y so I shall do what I can for 26th.

    I didn't last the hour revising last night - I nodded off however have a morning free at work which I can dedicate to it so I'll do 9:30-12:30.

    My working week is Mon - Fri with a long day on Tues. I normally go home tuesday lunch time to split the day up (so I don't crack up) and on a Friday as it's Friday lol. Well I've decided that I'm doing that well with saving fuel (purely down to the new school term routine) that I'm going to stay on work on Friday's too. My car drinks diesel so this should help to becoming DF long term - as we know, everything we can do helps.

    I'm going to take a look at accounts and then get revising

  • Thats fab about the fish, mash and cauli would defo go with it, depending on the fish you could have a cheese sauce or make a fish pie, very jealous as I love fish.
