Can't rush the tree otherwise you'll have to find other things to do on the run up to Christmas.
Make sure you get 'me time' the weekend.

Have a good weekend sw. Hope your computer is fixed and doesn’t cost much today. If it can’t be fixed is it worth looking at a cheaper refurbished one ?

Skinty they were marvellous as it couldn't be fixed they did not charge me. I offered to pay something for their hard work and even offered to buy chocolates but they said that they were fine!!! I will consider maybe getting a second hand one when my finances allow. I cant believe it. I know my lap top does not work but i am so grateful i dont have to pay the £100. My brother has ordered a camera doodah for my computer so hopefully i can use that for work meetings. I still have £100 in my bank account so will be able to hopefully add to my christmas fund this month. 

I bumped into a lovely little old lady in the corner shop who wanted sprouts. They did not have any so at one o clock i am having another walk to the bus stop to deliver my frozen sprouts to her. I am going to do some marking before then.

Sorry to hear your laptop cannot be fixed but what lovely people not charging you £100, and how lovely of you giving the old lady your frozen sprouts 🥰

She was so happy as otherwise she has to take a  long bus ride to the nearest supermarket. God bless her. Plus it will force me to exercise and allow me to escape from marking which is brilliant.

Well they always say with good fortune to “pass it forward”. You will be in Santa’s good list 😁 It’s a great excuse for a break from working and some fresh air too. Have a great day

Just getting ready now. I've done a bit of marking I am hoping to write some lessons and then hopefully do a bit of marking later. The corner shop didnt have littel packets of sweets so i HAD to treat myself to a box of fancy Malteser doo dahs for £3.50 as there was nothing else virtually!!! 

Tonight, I put up the rest of Henry together with the wonderful lights Steve found for me just before he was ill over Christmas, they are magnificent. Henry has no other decorations I have also pulled out some winter clothes and will tidy out summer clothes over the week and add some red bits to Henry when i get a free moment.

5 working days till payday. I cannot wait. I needed some bread and fruit after work and bought some naughty snacks too- i should have gone to the supermarket but was tired so went to the corner shop. £6.00 spent. 

I am cold and tired so might take  tonight off and wake early tomorrow.

That's not bad for a local shop.
Hope you did take the night off and rest.

Not long now until payday. I hope you are feeling better. £6 is not a bad price for bread, fruit and snacks, especially when you think how exhausted you would be if you had gone to the supermarket
