    That's really lovely of your student. 

    I think we are all just trying to get a cross the line to the Christmas holidays atm. I don't think the weather helps.

    It's a bit of a price difference.
    Weather has calmed up here, hopefully yours will soon.
    Pace yourself with work and home tasks, there's 2 days to spread it over.

    My brain shut down on Saturday so i couldnt do anything. Sugars were rubbish too. I did work today and am not going to exhaust myself. I've only done two out of six lessons and will just have to work next week and fall behind with the marking. I made a lovely meal ball chilli thing full of veg. So far i have avoided buying anything. 

    Payday after tomorrow.

    You've got to start looking after yourself, then sugars will be easier to manage.

    Chilli sounds fab!

    Double check your numbers as you've then got a few weeks to tweak.
    Hope you managed to get some work cleared and can get through the remainder this week.

    Thank you ladies, I have £188 in current account for fun and food, then £200 for Christmas fun after all presents are paid for. 

    It is the weekend, I am sooooo happy. Lots of marking to do but it is sooo good to be resting at home. I am not planning on buying anything this weekend. The plan is to only buy essential food. If possible in January (sales) i would like to buy some jeans as none fit. No more shopping on fleabay i do not need another coat at all. I keep reminding myself of that!
