Diary of my new life !!!

Morning!! The sun is shining here and it looks like being a great day For some unknown reason I got up and did my usual routine but I'm ready for work 15 minutes earlier than normal today, hence me having time for a quick update on here

Today I have an appointment at lunchtime to see the special needs lady at ds school for a chat to discuss his behaviour etc ... I also must post an ebay parcel :rolleyes:
Have a good day everyone

Right, ds is asleep, I've had a bath and am all nice and warm and cosy, kitchens tidy and its only 7:30

Today has been a good day; ds was good again at school today. I went to see the sn lady and had a good chat with her. Basically they think ds has latched on to his teacher like a surrogate mum and craves her full attention and when he doesn't get it he misbehaves so he does get some kind of attention. He hasn't latched on to the other teacher in the same way which is good. They are being very supportive and hopefully sooner or later his behaviour will settle down :rolleyes:

Moneywise I've only spent £2.62 on postage today (ebay parcel and the dialaphone cashback thing that had to be sent recorded delivery). Foodwise I've so far only eaten 13 of my 20 daily points (didnt get time to eat lunch because of my appointment at ds school), so I still have 7 points to enjoy tonight, am gonna blow them all on treats as I've had dinner already :beer:

Right, off to make my lunch for school tomorrow and then will be back for a veggie evening on the sofa

Forgot to mention, I got my council tax bill today, its going up £5 a month :mad:

Forgot to mention I decided to join the ebay challenge last night I am not doing so well with the £10 a day challenge so am going to concentrate on this one instead. I have set myself a target of raising £1000 by Christmas from ebay sales and car boot sales.

I have tonnes of stuff suitable for car boot sales but dont think its worth listing much of it on ebay as its lots of little bits or stuff that would cost loads in postage. I dont have much stuff to go on ebay as I've already sold most of the stuff I had for on there, but I reckon I could probably manage to find bits and pieces I'm gonna try and make a good start in the Easter holidays by getting some bits on ebay and also sorting out all the car boot stuff thats in the garage so that its all boxed up and ready to go when I get free weekends. I can do them on the weekends ds is at his dads and also during the summer holidays

Hi benben good to catch up with you - so inspirational as usual. Got back late last night from a fab week in Mallorca did you miss me ? :rolleyes:

benbenandme

Yeah I did !!! I've been wondering where everyones been !!! Did you have a nice time?? Hope you brought the weather back with you seeing as we break up the day after tomorrow and am planning spending time down the beach

The weather was great thanks. Warm & sunny every day but when we got back here it felt so cold and they were gritting the motorway. Back to reality !

When I went into work today there was a cheque for £43 waiting for me for my travel expenses for the courses I've done recently :j :j ... and then when I got home from work there was a bill for £42 from the tax people for my self-employed income last year :mad: :mad: Never mind, at least the expenses will cover it but I was looking forward to chucking it at the mortgage instead :rolleyes:

Today I've spent £2.25 on a happy meal for ds tea as we went to a softplay place afte school (we bought yearly membership for £10, its normally £3.50 a time, and every month they do a free entry day for members, so we only go on those days ), and £1.25 on some plastic eggs ready for a hunt on sunday

Tonight I need to get ds stuff ready as he's going to my mums tomorrow for a sleepover and then his dad will collect him from there on friday and bring him back to me on saturday. It will give me a chance to get up-to-date with all the housework over the weekend while he's away, and then when he comes back we'll have a fortnight to enjoy ourselves

Ds woke me up this morning at 5:30 :eek: :eek: I can't wait for the clocks to change :rolleyes:

Well, we're all ready for the final day at school; its a pretty easy day today anyway ... 3 lessons, a meeting and a talk from the head about our ofsted report :rolleyes:

My plan between this afternoon and sunday night is to get up to date completely with housework, do 2 mystery shops tomorrow, sort out all my car boot stuff and get it all boxed up properly so I can just load it into the car and go whenever I need to and to start the ebay challenge :rolleyes: Busy couple of days then!!

Have a good (and cheap) day all

:j :j :j YAY ITS THE HOLIDAYS !!!! :j :j :j

Schools over for a couple of weeks, its been a pretty easy day today, I got given a bag of mini eggs by my boss, a caramel egg by another teacher I work with and a mini eggs egg by my year head :beer: AND .... I've been dead good and not opened any of them yet Why do I always go on a diet just before Easter ??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Tonight some of the teachers are going out for a few drinks so I think I might go along as ds is having a sleepover at his Nannas Another friend at work is trying to set me up for a date with her mate on saturday night :eek: ... I dont know if I can even get a babysitter though, so am not sure yet about that one

So far today has been a no spend day, but with drinks tonight I expect it will turn out to cost a bit
