    I did all my marking. This week will be mad at work. Please let it be a good week.

    It's supposed to rain till Friday and hopefully be nice at the weekend. I have just decluttered two more carrier bags of mirrors, glass ornaments and some nice shoes towards my carboot. I am watching decluttering videos on the internet to inspire me. I will try to do some more even if it rains. I really wish I didn't have all this stuff I would be so rich now. lol.

    My parents come at the weekend. I cannot wait to see them.:):)

    I gave £30 from xmas fund to my niece for her birthday. This leaves £165 for food and for fun for the rest of the month. 5 weeks till summer hols. Not that Im desperate or anything. lol.rotfl::rotfl:

    Well my crazy work week will be over in the next few days. I have spent a fortune on taxis doing late nights and eating lots of pre-prepared carp at work.

    Today I took a day off and helped my father with his paperwork and tidied the house. He's visiting for Father's Day. Hurrah.

    Roll on the summer hols. I am visiting the boys next weekend and am really looking forward to it.

    I had a great weekend. I spent £20 on house things, £17 on travel, £20 on fishnchips for all of us. We spent Saturday in Dorset helping Andy's mum packing and then went to a fabulous barbeque in the afternoon. I ate so much and then we got to Lymington really late. The boys dropped me off today. It was a great weekend. So nice to see my friends and enjoy myself.

    I have just done a clothes wash as lodger was using the machine and am going to take it easy. Handyman is coming tomorrow let's hope for a good day. If possible I would like to do some more tidying in the spare room.
