Morning. Fingers crossed no unforeseen problems arise today. It is incredibly difficult to stay motivated and positive when things go slightly different than the plan.
Dgd would be better as a hibernating teenager but she's still only 10.
Battlefield zone before school.
I am concerned about my weight, I am going up and up! I am now 10st 6lb!!!
My daughter wonders if it's the meat I have from Muscle Foods. So unfortunately I'm going to have to eat the food I have and purchase it elsewhere. Am going to have to half my portion size too. Well gradually swap out the meat content for more veggies., and cut the bulk.
I never have been on a diet, as most of my life I was too thin.
But I am really feeling uncomfortable, lethargic, and don't like the way I feel Nevermind look anymore.
I seem to have put on a stone in the last 8 months!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

Too tired.
I am going to go to bed.
30 mins on my Portuguese and lights out!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Morning.
I was turning the light out by 9.30pm!
I did a few minutes of my Portuguese but only enough to hit my target, no extra.
Had a reasonable sleep but still woke up several times and had weird dreams.
Dgd is complaining about not sleeping well and I have just talked to her about both of us needing to change what we eat and how we eat it.
Could be interesting.
I managed a no Spends day yesterday, but I am not going to be able to today.
There is little School lunch stuff.
I do need to replace the microwave at work so I can take my homemade soup to work.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

Moo, you do not need to buy a new microwave, go old school, take a flask or an insulated cup.
Just trying to help you avoid the expense!0 -

Well after a screaming abdab before school we did have a better day. Dgd finally got her pen license at school.
It was parents evening. She is happy with the improvement with Dgd but concerned about the health issues causing absences.
We have a few new targets and they (once again are going to get Dgd checked for dyslexia! ) I could say a certain word here followed by
No ...... Sherlock! It would help if they didn't keep changing senco teachers etc
I have two people now interested in working with me. I have one interview on Thursday morning and today I had chatted with someone who had come in for thread who after chatting to had emailed me to ask About the job.
If only I could afford to employ them both and stop sewing myself. Well not stop sewing but stop the alterations and build the other parts of the business x
On the social media etc side, we have registered on tumblr, Twitter, instagram, snapchat, and Pinterest.
We are setting up a blog/web page on Wordpress this week.
So I have lots to learn.
I have heard about affiliates etc and my job is to amalgamate my sites, find content and start posting,
My old blogger, is not compatible with my phone so I think that I will stop that one!!!55357;!!!56882; and start a new beginning.
This may be the biggest flop in history, or it may bring me what I am seeking.
On an aside, once the business has been sorted I do still want to use the information etc about other life issues that my threads here have been about, and get that into something worthwhile. There is 11 years of my life on here afterall.
That book we talked about 7 years ago!!!

Also using electronic equipment before bed can cause sleep issues - I know DGD likes her tablet but when does she stop[ using it comapred to her bed time?
I think 'experts' recommend stopping use of electronics an hour before you want to go to sleep.
I really notice the difference if I have my tablet on while in bed, before I know it the time has flown and its midnight even though I was tired at 9 and thought I would just check something on the tablet. The light keeps you awake.0
