    I'm working today. Just taking my marking into the other room has made a psychological difference.

    Take the day one step at a time and remember we have one week and 3 days to payday.

    I have today off work and then 4 tough work days.

    It's raining and I have to walk to take stuff to my dr's some exercise might inspire me to do some prep for the next few days. :)

    I cancelled the NOW tv free entertainment pass today before they started to charge me. I've also paid money into my new bank account so I get a reward. I just have to remember to transfer it back tomorrow.

  • Hurrah my great lodger has paid his rent and I get paid in 3 days.

    I did go slightly overboard yesterday at the supermarket and spent £42 but that included some luxury items that were on offer. I have loads of healthy food (and some rubbish too). I'm going to rest this morning and then will do some prep for work.

    Steve is ill in hospital with an infection and will be there for a while. I have a bug so I cant visit. I have bought a cardi from fleabay but it was cheap £7. I have got to buy Norton as mine will run out in a few days.

  • You can get free antivirus software for free SW, I use the Avast! free download and it works fine for me, especially when I use a browser with a free ad-blocker installed on it. The viruses I've had in the past have come from infected ads on websites, so a combination of ad-blocker and Avast generally does the trick.

    I have written some cracking work for next week and have a little more to do tomorrow. I hope it's not going to be too cold.

    Payday tonight. I'm saving £500 from my rental income and am continuing to be careful with my spending this month. Again I am spending only £100 on fun and £120 on food.

    I have seen a job advertised but it is only maternity cover so I don't think it's worth applying for.
