    Thank you for being kind, in total they were here for 5 hours but two of those hours over two days was spent eating takeaways which weren't cheap either. I've definitely been had still i have learned from it. I should have called a professional who would have been cheaper! 

    Still it's all part of life's rich tapestry of learning. Roll on tomorrow I am going to try to do lots of marking.

  • If it was a solid day of work, I would have said it was about right, but not for 3 hours and with food!

    I put up my new Christmas tree (much easier to put up and it has lights included which i will only use on special days) and have over 50 essays left for tomorrow. If i work my socks off then i can take Saturday off to spend it with Andy and Crafty Hants. 

    A work friend came to visit and filled me in on the old place -everyone is quitting. 

    I have 11 essays left but eyes hurt so no more till Sunday or Sat before Andy comes.

  • Hope you had a lovely day with your friends yesterday. Hopefully it won’t take long to mark the remaining essays and then you can rest for the remainder of the day

  • Hope you had a nice day and a good catch up.
    Tree sounds pretty.
    Please get some rest, all work and no play isn't good.

    There was not much on at the cinema so Andy and I stayed in and watched Neflix. I just signed up for the first time. Im paying £10 a month and will try to watch a few hours a week. I gave 2 tickets away to friends and have 4 cinema tickets left to use by Dec 05. lol

    Having a day off at last has allowed me to get my head together as i worked all holiday. Now i have had some of a rest. Still deciding whether to put tree on fleabay. I dont want to take it downstairs as it is too big. lol. I am really looking forward to payday and paying off my credit card. My new Christmas tree is great. So happy.

  • We always find things to watch on 'flix and have had it for nearly 6 years. 

    Put it on FB as you'll get immediate cash.

    Have more rest as you've been constantly on the go, put your feet up and enjoy 'flix.

    Oooh that sounds good I dont know about this facebook thing and the 'flix. Any idea as to where I can find out about this? . Unfortunately i will only be able to watch at weekends i think as i just about watch the news now.

    Some fab news, some of my bonus from work has been used towards my credit card bill for this month and next month the rest is going to my chirstmas and bills fund.  I have £200 now for this month left over for food and fun.
