  • Taking a leaf out of There is a Light's diary, here is my daily check in. In fact it is a blatant steal - thank you !

    Health - pretty bad, skin is a mess, no make up doesn't help! need to go back to the doctors about my benign skin cancer. I went and got a diagnosis - remember I ended going private in the end and took to the results to my doctor. But then nothing happened?

    Am not going to do the fun run,

    Wealth - no CC bill. need to return one thing, have spent 56 pounds this week and have 44 left. ok. So long as I don't over spend (!) need to buy a birthday present and have coffee tomorrow with this week's money.(I have 100 a week "budget")

    Decluttering - am on one today already half emptied the spare room. and really can see how I can get things moving.

  • Indeed Beanie. Not great. Will have to sort it.

    One thing I did I sort out was my phone! Had an upgrade due - for about a year! So I will soon have a Lumia something or another.

    The dog wants a cuddle and I need to do some prep.

    pants.

  • I decided to do some school work last night. Thought I would avoid the Sunday RUSH and sort out some bits etc. Somehow and I don't know how it didn't save.

    4 hours work to NOTHING. I was SO mad. I actually scared myself. I am just so stressed about work. Hate the thought that OFSTED are coming.

    Should have given my notice in.

    Today am off to a birthday party, have to pick up cakes and be back here for 4 to go to the cinema with Mum.

    I am feeling very depressed. This morning I realised I hadn't cleaned the fish out. So I did, however I managed to cover the kitchen in water cos the connector didn't fit properly and sprayed water all over. Then in the kerfuffle the pump on the tank stopped working and when I restarted it, it pump all the filth from the filter in to the tank. Clearly the filter needs cleaning but I couldn't face it. I just give up today to be honest. Going to try and drop the cakes at my friend's and then attempt to enjoy the film. Tired. was up till two trying to fix what I lost. I really didn't have time to lose that work.

    Popped by to check up on you and here you are with a new diary! Hope this one sees you sorted out work wise. You've got some good realistic goals. Hope you feel a bit more positive by the time you read this xx

  • Sorry that today has felt like such a struggle for you my friend. We are also on OFSTED alert and it is very unnerving as the management go mental. As long as you are happy with your lessons then try not to worry. Easier said than done I know.
