Buffy's Savings Diary

Buffythedebtslayer

Part of me wonders if it is my imagination.

Any how I took the recycling out which made it looks less crazy and have gone through a pile of papers tonight whilst watching tv. I NEED a system to deal with paper!!!

and an industrial shredder!

The rabbits have behaved themselves - SA they do have a bedroom they just happen to let me sleep there too

Tomorrow is vets with the hamster.

then more tidying

and e mailing work to send home marking.

BUT. had pizza for dinner (no fridge, no food) and watched Grimm which is an excellent programme. and have emptied two boxes from the conservatory.

Be careful doing any work when you are off sick as sometimes that can come back and bite you in the bum. Our policy is if members of staff are off sick we are not allowed to contact them and they should not even be accessing emails. Something to do with insurance/absence policy etc.

Please try and get some rest on that foot otherwise your recovery will be much longer. I am concerned about you xx

Home that little hammy is OK

wish my work had a policy like that! I'm off sick as a result of symptoms which have arisen from stress from work and been told by the doctor i can't do any work at all and i need complete rest yet they are texting me asking me questions which then makes me more stressed out.

Dreading going back in on monday as know they will be mad at me. They once told me unless I was dead they weren't interested in sickness/there was no excuse for not working.

Thankfully I only have 5 more weeks (4 x 5 day weeks then 1 x 4 day week) then off for 10 days then only 2 x full weeks, 1 x 4 day week and 1 x 3.5 day week then am leaving

I watched Newsnight - annoyed me, watched Question Time, saddened me. And am now watching This Week, which is at least amusing. I have loved Andrew Neil for many years. He always makes me feel better. And has already with his opening speech on the show XXXX

It is 7 days till pay day. Am ok. mainly cos I have barely left the house so although I owe some money on the CC now this is Christmas shopping.

I am pushing myself to have to 5000 in the kitty by the end of the year.

I am going to give it my best shot. Currently it is 3750 - at the end of November it is 4100.

I have about 300 in my emergency fund and 300 saved for Christmas and the it is a case of "finding 300 more" plus I get paid on 26th so will have another 350 to add - from 2015.

Now obviously this sounds mental but it would be lovely to start 2016 with a decluttered house and 5000 grand in the bank.

so. one month to sort the house and two pay days to sort the money.

Sealed pot was 111 pounds which I am keeping at home as a float for Mum who can't always get to the cash point.

I haven't counted the 50ps yet! ooooo they can go towards the ISA

I am going to join you in a couple of challenges next year Buddy so I hope you will be organising them again It sounds a fantastic place to be at the stoke of midnight 2015 with £5000 in the bank.

Glad that you feel OK xx

So today is the last day I am signed off.

I am so stressed it is ridiculous.

we are expecting Ofsted and so lots of panic induced changes have been happening this term. And like I was going to sort the house before I fell over I had a plan to sort work as well. But that has all gone to hell now.

Headache and feel sick. need to leave for the x ray soon.

just had it with everything. I was SO CLOSE!

I don't know how I didn't see your post Light!

I was feeling fine till I checked work e mail - I should not have done that!

All the stuff I had planned to do (update data, seating plans, sows of work need new columns added etc - due to them not giving us any data-honestly ridiculous.) is what they will be looking for. and now I need to try to do as much as I can over the weekend. as well as the bloody house being a mess.

have spent all day feeling sick. Doctor won't get back to me till Tuesday at the earliest. so will have to go in on Monday.

Am now just about getting angry.

Mantra for the rest of my life

!!!! work before it !!!!s you. It is only a job and should make up a tiny part of your life.

Also Supernatural is amazing. And everyone should watch it.
