I will see in September if they might have some money to put my salary up but will have to make do otherwise. I am having the laziest day I am pleased as it is taking ages for me to do anything as so tired.

I have sorted my admin and laundry. I did some weeding too there is so much i dont know where to start. For the first time in ages v little marking to do.

Don't push yourself, weekends are for relaxing.

I even cancelled seeing my niece as my tummy was dodgy. I spent the whole day in bed and did 10 mins of weeding. lol. 2 of my teaching friends are the same. We are just exhausted. Only 3 weeks till next hols. 10 days till payday. I'm trying not to spend money.

Work was easy today. I have the whole day off tomorrow. The plan is to buy some slug pellets and do  a bit of gardening. I might also fill in a driving licence form. I'm going to give myself some targets every day to get the house in order. Lots of little jobs need doing like the skirting boards need dusting, I also have to sort out a pile of presents for my friends from the last year! I have four weeks till my parents visit to get it perfect.

Bite size is easier than looking at everything.
Enjoy your day off and please do not work.

Thank you MF i am not doing any deliberately. I have just walked back from garden centre with 2 lots of slug pellets and some dianthus plants. £17 i used my Christmas fund. My petunias have been planted out front so the front garden is all coordinated with lavendar and purple plants now. I would like some more purple petunias.

I have bought a driving licence form and will fill in v soon. I have an old one from a few years ago i will just copy it. I am taking the rest of the day off. 

My blood sugar was so high and then low (all self inflicted by comfort eating!) so in the end i rested and didnt do any weeding. lol I will do that this week. I am hoping to fill in my driving licence form this week at work.

We are all feeling a bit sorry for ourselves at work if we have had wage cuts. It is v frightening. I dont think i can get another job now they wont be advertised till next year so I will have to learn to drive so i can escape.

It's not too late to buy seeds and have them flowering this year, works out cheaper and towards the end let them self-seed as new ones will grow next year. Or keep the seed heads and scatter them next year.

Would it be worth keeping an eye on adult education places, see if jobs pop up, apply and those few hours a week could replace what you're losing with your current role?

I will MF. Thank you.

Reminder to self remember after work the weeding needs doing in back garden. \i have done a few  mins and am tired. I will do some more later.

Got nowhere with gardening today I will try tomorrow. If i can clear some space i would like to buy some purple plants with wages on Wednesday.
