all this has made me realise I need to have a desk. What a waste of a day.

Not a disaster if you now realise you need a desk. You can have fun trawling shops which sell desks, online or real,  charity shops which specialise in interesting furniture.  I don't have room for a proper desk so I have a long narrow console table in pine which I bought new for thirty quid quite a few years ago. It has two drawers. You deserve a desk.

Oh I have a desk. I just use my room as a dumping ground, I knew I needed a desk before this, I should have typed really need a desk that I can use. It was a waste of a day because I didn't just get on with my room. If I had today I would be doing my normal stuff (refuse to call them chores, am not Cinderella!) and not AGAIN waking up in a tip. I am just being lazy and sulking. I will shift soon and get on with it.

16 days without the Big River shop 

Aside from food, pet food and petrol I have bought 5 lots of 20p Christmas cards and 2 rolls of wrapping paper for 60p - both of which mum wanted! And a lunch bag for £5. 

My CC is paid off but car insurance is due. Also I still have a bill for the house bunny that hasn't come through. BUT I got a refund on his insurance and my zopa account closes at the end of the month so I am due about 200 from that. I also MUST do my returns. 

Today was.................well I was about to write it was a bust but it wasn't really, I did spend some time with the rabbits, all cleaned out and observed them for a bit. My two aren't happy in a more confined space. I can't do much about it for 4 weeks. 

I took 6 bags to the tip, spent money on lunch - mum has got into the habit of having M /S pasta! and I did buy cream cakes....and lunch for me. 

Then I was very unwell. The toilet was my best friend for a while. I napped, I wish I could say I felt better but I didn't, then I had to make dinner. I feel shakey now but am drinking water. I can't think what I could have eaten... 

Anyhow, jobs done, am watching something called the rules? it is ok. mostly depressing.

Hope you feel better soon. Could be norovirus?

Hope you feel better soon. 

Well done on resisting the big river shop 👏👏

I'm blaming the cream cakes!   But more seriously I hope you are feeling much better now.

Yeah, they were very nice tho. 

I was ok at work, pretty decent day. did my miracle morning thing and have come home with a microwave meal for dinner (BLISS, not potato in sight) and cleaned the piggy wigs out. I genuinely think I will always have guinea pigs. They make me laugh so much.  I gave them kale tonight, a rare treat, as 1. I don't like it and 2 it is high in calcium for them. They got SO excited. The little one who isn't as confident even came out to find it and my best girl was beside herself. Too excited to eat it! I  I wish I got that excited about Kale! 

I am massively tired. but that is ok, did a 12 hour day really. off to bed soon XX

Another heck of a day at work. 

Mum made stew! She is trying, to be completely honest I think something awful I said to her may have hit home. I said it over our stunningly stressful Christmas and I won't repeat it because it was awful, I was just so completely sick of it all. She did drive me nuts last night but I pulled back from storming out. Just too tired. 

Tonight things are calmer, I got some work done at work. I still have stuff to do now but it should be ok. Chores done early. 

I have forgotten my washing................hmmm.

Ps still no big River or normal spending.

It is really good that she is trying.  It is better for her to be doing - anything other than just sitting & watching TV.  Maybe you just made her look at herself & she found she didn't like too much what she saw.  If it makes her more active & participating in things then that is really good for her.

It definitely is. She is much brighter and with it. Still in pain but am hopeful for a new drug..... once I can sort out ringing the hospital. 

Got lots of work to do, a lot of the house jobs are again shifting to the weekend. Had yet another idea for the living room. Also there a possible date for the social services assessment. so that is something to work towards. 

Best get on with the marking. YAWN. 

oo no spending and no Big river.
