I wanna be mortgage free!

twinklie

I love the new car...it's lovely to drive. So much easier than the old one and I thought that was easy! Yey. I feel very posh.

Went to uni yesterday and was given the wrong assignment back which is frustrating. I now have no idea how I did or how to improve. Boo. I swear, my uni are about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Nevermind, I'm sure it will be fine. I'm not going to panic. But I hope I get it back this week or I'll forget what went on at this weekends session which would upset me.

Right, so I'm still loving the new car, it's lovely. Found cruise control on it too, so I've been playing with that on the journeys to and from work. 2 good bits of news, OH has been signed off the outpatients over his kidneys and his moles are going to be monitored for change. For now though they are happy with them. Yey.

Right, this time next week I'll be alone as the OH goes on holiday with his mate skiing on Saturday....boo. But I should be able to get lots of work done....fingers crossed....while he's gone.

Still no luck moving things forward with the mortgage yet, my work are being very slow to give the building society conformation of my salary. I just got a letter through saying they would be charging me £15 for the pleasure too! Nice.

Still, father in law has drawn up plans for the other house so we might be able to contact the builders soon and get things moving. Just need to find out how long till we get money after the mortgage has been approved.

I've had enough of work at the minute. It's doing my head in. Cannot wait for the yr 11's to leave. For the rest of the half term, SLT will be popping in to the ends of lessons to look at plenaries of all the NQT's on what they call their learning walks. NICE. So they'll be there for 5/10 mins and will then note down what we are doing. I'm not happy. Got an obs a week tomorrow which sucks too! Boo.

Well I've got rid of the husband (for a week at least). Hes gone snowboarding with his mate for a week. I'm gutted, wish I could have gone....bloody school.

I'm feeling proper sorry for myself today, really want a holiday after a BAD week at school. Although Friday was better. I'm just starting to feel a bit stressed with everything at the minute. I don't know what it is but feel like everything is getting on top of me. I don't just mean school (I do love it), it's just everything at the mo.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll feel a bit better when I get this observation out of the way tomorrow (although, I'm not really all that bothered). I honestly don't know whats up with me. It's been building for at least a good week, and it doesn't have anything to do with OH going away. I do wish he was here thought, could do with a cuddle.

Still, I'm not gonna tell him how I'm feeling because I want him to enjoy his holiday and he'll only worry. Went to the hairdressers before and had my hair done, but that didn't have it's usual affect.

Bah, I'm just a grump. Time to get a brew before the rugby and then I'll come back and update with the relevant finance type stuff rather than just me grumbling! Ha ha.

You may just need some sunshine; even though days are lengthening we've not had much sun for a while and this can affect some people, certainly I am always low in late Jan/early Feb due to this.

Enjoy your afternoon break with the rugby

twinklie

Yeah, you could be right. I think it's more that I need a change of scene or at least a break in routine. I'm not that needy of sunshine, very very fair and avoid it like the plague. Plus we've had some nice blue skies my way of late.

Nevermind, Wales winning cheered me up and the Scotland Ireland game is a belter! Though I've a feeling Ireland are gonna come from behind to win now. My OH will be upset if that happens. lol.

twinklie

Decided that I would make myself a list of jobs for tomorrow that I could do...it might turn into a list for the week thinking about it though. I'm hoping it'll help me be more organised.

Think that should be enough for now. I'm sure I could come up with more though. I've got my mum coming round tomorrow morning though and we are going to take the dog out which will be nice.

Then its work work work. As for now, it's movie time then bed early, I'm pooped. :hello:

twinklie

Spent several hours with my mum this morning, took the dog for a walk round the park. Spoke to quite a lot of people and just made me realise exactly how much I really do want a dog.

The lady we are getting one from (hopefully) is trying again, so hopefully there will be a puppy in the future. Fingers crossed. If all goes well with the puppy training we can then get a rescue in the future.

Anyway, I'm chuffed with what I've managed to get done so far and how little I spent on food shopping, I might even let my little self watch the England game. I don't like them but I want them to beat France so that they defo can't win the 6 nations. I think it's all Ireland now, which even though they aren't Wales, I can live with.

OH called last night and apparently their apartment is tiny. They seemed pretty happy with everything though. Looking forward to hearing about their first day though. Hope they've had a good day. I'm missing him but feel oddly reassured that he is having a good time. Plus I intend to get loads done this week so I can spend some time with him next weekend.

Right need to add a few things to the bottom of the to do list then I'm going to go and do.

StuartGMC

Hope all the short term plans come together for you.

Hope you enjoy OH enjoying his break IFYSWIM . And enjoy the extra space in the bed

Any chance you & OH could get away to get some fresh air & outdoor stuff over Easter? Check out the usual culprits such as Travelodge if your budget is really tight.

RIght thats the new updated list. My observation didn't quite go as well as I'd planned today so I'm not sure how productive I'll end up being. Boo. I'm never that good at being productive when I'm in a strop.

Anyhoo....better crack on or I'll be working all night...and heros is on at 9 so that ain't happening.
Oh and I'm up to £40.50 on You Gov now. Yey
