    All my marking is done, now  i can move some bits round in the store room which is tiny but full.

    My ordered perfume is actually ok, i will keep it as it is just for inside the house when i am in pjs. It's not quite what i wanted but still perfectly pleasant. I have been paid, no dd have gone out yet and i am going to be good this month. 

    I did a 5 minute tidy in the store room. I will do 5 mins daily. 

    I have ordered resources for work. (£4.50)

    You're not being lazy, you are tired and need to rest.

    It is beautiful and bright this morning. I am hoping my perfume that was ordered in error will be resold today and i will get £15 which will be lovely. At the moment i feel rich as no dd have left my account! lol. 

    Two days left till i go back to work. I had better make sure some lessons are prepared. I do feel very rested.

    Ive got to do some work but am sooo lazy. I have even cooked a beef mince and chucked some veg in so I meet my quota. My new year's resolution is to eat veg and to avoid wasteful spending. I am taking all items off watch on ebay and am only buying another pair of trousers for work as i only have one pair that fit.
