I made a start on the conservatory yesterday and got up at 5.30 this morning to continue before it got too hot. I took a car load to the tip and carried on the sorting till about 12 and then napped for an hour. Did a bit more, Mum upset me and I went to lay down again, i seem to just get sleepy instead of angry these days , I suppose I did only have 4 hours sleep. Mum has been in a weird mood this weekend. I think she expected more progress on the conservatory and doesn't fully get how stressed I am about the tags or work generally. Still she is in pain and that is basically all she can think about.
Two weekends in a row stuck indoors are slowly driving me up the wall. Therefore next Friday I am going to watch the football at a mate's and the next Friday I am having dinner out with a guy I used to date.
I am having a last look at the tags tonight. It was technically D day last Monday but am so stressed about it I asked if I could recheck my grades. I feel physically sick.
Money wise I genuinely ordered things from Amazon in my sleep...........Not snails I haste to add!Nevertheless she persisted.3 -
No snails
I am disapointed Buffy xx
Passes my Amazon list

Tags are teacher assessed grades. Absolutely dreadful experience from start to finish. Really stressful and horrible. For both us and the students.
Not over yet either.
I seem to have another pair of trainers and some guinea pig accessories.........

that is true INOD X
I have borrowed 2000 on the CC, 0% for 12 months, 3.5 fee. (£70)
The CC was creeping up to almost grand post vets, glasses, and random spends. I will need to go back to the vets re house bunny as he may need another op or other treatment.
I could use my savings but I I feel rightly or wrongly that I will be breaking a promise to myself that that money is for my house and is untouchable. I feel I must pretend I don't have it in some way. If I let myself dip into it then it isn't for house.
I have set up a payment out of my spending money account for 200 a month. I will try to pay it off sooner, aim for Christmas.

I came home with Fish and Chips and the shopping. I unpacked the shopping, sorted fish and chips, gave mum her dinner, fed the dogs and then sat down with my dinner. The dogs ate and begged for a treat, so I left my now cold dinner to give them a treat, after dinner, I checked the rabbits, let the dogs out for a wee (yay to no wees in the kitchen today!) went upstairs and put pjs on. I sat on the bed for about 30 seconds.
Then it as back downstairs to watch tv, I am so tired. I almost fell over when I was shopping, my ankle gave way, it happens when I am tired and I must not concentrate so much on how I am walking?
fund.
I have paid off my CC and moved the remaining money to my general savings for the rabbit fund. I feel odd having debt again, I know I could put the rabbit op on the CC but I would worry about paying it off in one go, he cleared out my general savings with the last one, I do know I will have to make a !!!!!! decision at some point but he is running around well at the moment, I have found a food that doesn't upset his tummy and he is an absolute love bunny. This way I have two lots of operation money borrowed in case which I can pay back over months instead of skinting myself to pay it in one go. I don't have to worry about it if he needs emergency treatment.

Yes, weirdly Beanie I was thinking about my first pair of buns, they were lovely, one was very ill, well in the end they both were and it was horrible but they were lovely. Not house trained so had to live outside which wasn't fun.
Saying that the new aviary (remade from the original) has a design fault. The water runs off the shed roof into the aviary part. It is getting very muddy. I have a guttering set for it but can't yet figure out how to fix it so the water runs out of the cage....
Need to get on with loads today. Hopefully the rain will hold off.........

My get on with loads was curtailed by mum coming downstairs sooner than I thought, but at least I can have a shower sooner.
I have go out in the garden - thankfully not raining!
Just read Benbenandme's dairy, and of course SA's, I bet they have lovely homes. I do not. I woke up this morning to no electricity, my first thought was I can't have an electrician round, we look like nutters!
My second thought was an overwhelming wave of depression at how much work there is to do for so little reward.
hmmmmm.

I try to have a lovely home but the combination of Mr SA, a dog and a cat dictates otherwise. I seem to spend a lot of time cleaning but it never looks any different. I went to a friend’s house yesterday and her house was spotless and nothing out of place. But then there are just the two of them, no pets and he helps with the cleaning and maintenance, she’s not doing everything on her own. Her garden is so neat and tidy, very low maintenance, all her plants are in pots, nothing planted in the ground. By contrast my garden is like a jungle, plants everywhere.
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
