just a quickie!

Just a quickie, battery is low on laptop and the plug is over a meter away across the room!!

Well, had a hard week. Did a pregnancy test last weekend getting all excited, the line was really fate but everyone I mentioned it too said it was a positive result. Only problem is I have been bleeding since so not sure whats happening. Just have to wait and see I suppose.

Feel a bit gutted, I know it wa early on but cant help getting my hopes up. Its been a bit hard to concentrate on uni work with all this spinning around my head.

Will let you know when I have an update.

Back to Uni

It seems like I have been off for ages, now I feel even further behind and still as tired!
Mind you, without not working now I should be able to fit more reading in.
I have been trying to do my buttock clenches as requested by my lovley physio but I dont feel any different and very self concious!

Have managed to fit a bit more scrapping in. I have completed my last CJ entry and it should arrive on the lucky ladies doorstep this morning. When I have my trader rating I can then host the CJ for my ukscrappers team, cant wait!
My Robo is churning out some good work, finished a LO and was very pleased with the result. I have invited Mom and Sis round next sunday for a scrappy day and am off to the crop at eh end of the month. Yeah Me!!

Goodbye 2007

Well, I cant say I am sad to see the back of it.

Although it has been the first full year of Dave and I living together it has been a hard year for my family. I have lost my Nan and two great Aunts, I have been diagnosed with possible fibromyalgia, I have started to have physio on my knees. All this along with the general money worried that some along with being a third year under grad student trying to support a home and a family.

I am pleased to say that I have worked hard and earned enough money to get us through christmas and I have now handed my notice in at work. I have enjoyed working but I dont feel like I have stopped since october!!

At lease with the extra time I can concentrate on uni and hopefully fit a bit more scrapping in. I really miss it and now I have my Robo I am itching to go! Now I am not working sundays I am even be able to go to the crops again, hadnt thought of that, really cheered up now!

Off to a family do tonight so planning on being very tipsy by midnight!

Happy new year!!

Nearly new year

Hi everyone!
Weel that was a hectic christmas.
Had the in laws here for a week and it was really enjoyable!
Everything went to plan with meals and we had a good time!

Havnet had chance to play with my new craft robo yet and cant seem to get the tutorial disc to work so may have to read the whole manual!!

Christmas is coming.........

and the goose is getting fat!!

Its nearly here, dont seem to have that christmassy feeling yet.
Was writing my christmas cards yesterday when my Mom rang to say my great Auntie had passed away. She had been poorly for a little while and it was expected. I got all upset writing the cards, I only have one great uncle left now, my grandparents generation is almost gone. Starting to feel very old.

Its Faith and Sophies birthdays on the 19th (yes, both on the same day!)Doing a party for Faith, bit worried not many will come because its so close to christmas, got about 15 so far.

Apart from that still feeling very stretched and hectic. I am up to date with coursework but wanted to get a few more out the way to concentrate on dissertaion stuff. Will keep plodding on.

No time for scrapping though, managing to keep up with CJ but mine has gone missing!Well, when I say its missing, we know where it is but for some reason the team member hasnt posted them on and isnt responding to emails and texts. Typical its mine! Two others are with it. We are all going to redo the pages and post them on to the owners (when we can fit them in!)

Help!!!

Have that slow sinking feeling when you just know you are trying to cope with too much!

My house needs so much doing, the ironing pile is taking on a life of its own and the garden needs three weeks of ground force treatment!

I am tring to keep up with uni work, have started collecting data for the pilot of my research, but have so many other bits of coursework to get started on. Its like that horrible conversation you have after an exam....
"what did you put for question 5?".....
"really? thats not what I put".....

Only now its a case off....
"what question are ypu answering for forensic psychology coursework?"
"oh, you havent started it yet? I am half way though"

NNNOOOOOOO!!
How can I be so far behind in the first month??

On the other hand, the part time job is ok. sometimes it can be mind numbingly boring and all I can think about is what else I could be doing with the time but I suppose I will think differnetly when the first wage slip comes in.

On the plus side, Nan's funeral went ok. I found it a lot harder than I though (hence leaving it till last to talk about). But, there were no family fights and my Mom was amazing. She arranged everything and read out a beautiful poem she had written for Nan's 80th birthday. I was really proud of her.

Is it nearly Christmas?

Wow, doesnt the time fly!

Been so busy at Uni, did make the ethics deadline and my idea has been approved. Now I just have to start the pilot of my questionarre.

Had some bad news though, my Nan passed away on friday. She had been quite poorly and it was a bit of a relief to know she wasnt in any more pain and at peace at last. She is now reunited with my Grandad. They have been married for over 60 years and it wasnt right that they were apart. The funeral is on Friday and may be trying due to familt tensions. Why do people wait for funerals or weddings to air their views?
