    Hello BIF I went out with friend and we went to the shops. Luckily most things have already been sold so I didn't see much to buy. Every time we went into a shop I though omg I already have one of those lol so this minimalizing thing is working.

    I decided not to buy the coasters from social media as I already have some and they are not really a bargain as they are the same price on the internet. I love being sensible.

    Today I am going to do some simple marking in bed with the telly on. lol. I am also going to take down Henri, if I have time I will also wrap some late Christmas presents for friends later in the week. Everyone have a good day.

    Ok it is day two. I keep seeing cheap lovely things on social media sites and it is soooo hard. I can't believe how much time I spend browsing things on the internet. If I spent this working I would be finished by now. lol.

    I have just switched my utility contract and I have also decluttered two lots of admin :D My house is so clear and I love it. :) Onwards and upwards with 2020.

    I started surveys for the summer hols last year and forget about them as I wasn't seeing any results. They just sent me a reminder and I logged on. I have £10 of Marks and Spencer vouchers. Hurrah.

    I haven't done any marking today. I slept for ages and chilled out. Plenty to do tomorrow.

    I started my marking again last night and will do another 3 hours today and then most of its done but I am leaving it till later. I had a fall as I was putting the bins out. Serves me right for doing it with a low blood sugar. What a plonker. I'm covered in plasters on my foot, legs and on my hands. lol. Maybe I will start a new fashion.

    Oooh, you poor thing, that sounds nasty if you've had to put plasters on that many places! Marking can wait! (Well, that's what I'm telling myself too ;) )

    Hope you have some arnica in the house, I find it really helps - I bruise like a peach and try to rub some gel on as soon as possible when I fall or bang into a table/door (I'm always doing that at school!)
