  • 2021 Goals
    So what have I done today towards these goals?

    1. BUY A HOUSE. And I do mean house. not a flat. Dream BIG. 
    Cancelled Audible membership. I have enough audio books. 
    2. Be happy and appreciate good things 
    I stood and watched the rabbits today, they are lovely. And I went for a walk and enjoyed the Christmas lights. 
    3. Continue to declutter and organise my stuff and the 
    Gathered a bag of rubbish in the garden. 
    4. Have a relationship with a man. I would really like some fun  
    Just full disclosure. D. Head still messages and has invited me to stay once lockdown is over. We chat nonsense most days and he has been really good. 
    5. Travel - if we are ever allowed! 
    I haven't done anything towards this :D  Tho I do have an account called Holidays.......
    6. Exercise - I went for a walk ;) 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Ok. Couldn't sleep till almost 2 but slept till 8.50 go me! Kinda buggered the tip plan - well it being early. This morning I have done my walking video, I had a chat with a couple of friends last night about activity and I decided that my fit bit records "activity" and I would aim for 30 minutes each day and a minimum of 5000 steps. I really don't like exercise!! and I will never reach the heights of 15000 steps a day cos I am lazy ;) 
    Jan 1st 38 minutes and 7060 steps - at 10.50 pm I did a walking video....
    I am dreading school and all the stress so doing a Buffy special and ignoring it all! Last decent days weather wise so hope to get out in the garden again today. 
    Spends 
    tights - 21
    leggings - 25 
    diary - 6
    Long term am considering a new fish tank but need to get on with today so will explain later XXX 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • I decided the tip was my best bet as the amount of old plastic pots, packaging and rabbit waste/garden waste is now getting silly. I will need to go again tomorrow as I couldn't fit it all in my car! but still getting rid of stuff. 
    I have found a website Traid which I never heard of who apparently collect clothes and bric a brac.....but they are shut due to covid. 
    Gah. stupid covid. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Freecycle is still operating - we organised someone to collect a bundle of clothes today
  • I feel your pain with work.
    I hate not knowing what is going on - but as ever, I am not surprised with Boris and his cronies.
  • All my plans are out of the window as I am waiting for Sainsbury's. And then cooking dinner. Tip will have to be tomorrow I think. 
    I was trying to work out what to set for the students. I am procrastinating really BADLY. UGH. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Sainsbury's done. To be fair it was quick as I did the order. I have meal planned for the week, done whilst shopping and written on the fridge (made me miss writing on the board in my class room!!) so that is sorted. Mostly ready meals which is not great but realistic given I am back at work in whatever shape or form that will be. 
    Best get on with something. Just don't know what. 
    Have a good day or afternoon such as it is! XX
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Ok. So we are in Lockdown. Again. 
    I am highly anxious about work. We will have to do live lessons but Mum being the way she is I don't know how to do that. 
    I am not sure I said but she has been really ill this last few weeks. Needs a fair bit of looking after. Nothing major but it is sort of continual and not easy for either of us. Just crazy all round. 
    I also had to go to the vets today 85 quid later.......
    It is 12.45 and I should be in bed. 

    ooo I did my steps, my activity AND my french. 



    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Sorry to hear your mum is unwell. I know you’re desperate to get a place of your own, but how would she cope without you, would you find somewhere close by so you could keep an eye on her?
