It's blog time...normally Sunday is blog time but I won't have the time to do it tomorrow so I thought I might as well get it done now.
Well this weeks I've mainly worked and done some study. They are both as important as the other but I need money so that kinda has the edge over study right now although now it's left me in a made rush to get the coursework done by the end of Thursday so I have six days to do my assignment.
I am working on two sets of accounts right now for a husband and wife and they are taking a little while but I'm hoping to have them done by the end of Monday or Tuesday at the latest and I'm going to dedicate most of my Monday to doing them so it might be a 10-12 hour work day but once they are done I can just go onto my study/coursework and get that done. There is a lot to do and as I said, it needs to get done by the end of Thursday because the the assignment is due the following Thursday. I will start it Friday but I might not get much done on Friday because I might get stuck on it as I've not done one in nine months so getting back into it might not be too easy. Saturday I won't get any done because I'm out and about all day so it will be a all say session on the Sunday and everyday until it's done.
I've been buying a lot this week too. I ended up getting some things off the Body Shop website because I got a email haha....they do work. I got a white musk set for my mum for mothers day and I got myself a Jasmin set because I love Jasmin and I got a cool free gift and free delivery because I spent over £30.
It's funny because when they came the next day I'd totally forgot I'd ordered anything and when my dad walked in with the big box I was saying I'd not ordered anything so when I opened it, it was a surprise.
I also bought somethings from La Senza but I am not going into details about that haha. As well as La Senza I had my weekly buying session on Play.com and got some CDs which I'm still waiting to get.
I got a Scarf from River Island off ebay (brand new) and then I ordered some things from Assocorize and then Evans because they had 20% off everything which was pretty good.
Oh and I also got 20 free pictures from Snap Fish (sign up to get that) and I bought a Mother's Day cup off there which has a picture of me and my mum on and I got that half price too which is good so I have that and the body shop to give her and I will be getting her some flowers.
Today I was buying things in Boots including a birthday present for my friend Pete. He asked for some aftershave so I went and smelled some and ended up getting one that Lynds recommened for me. I even got a free Max Factor gift and £2 off my mascara so I was happy. So I guess this has been a spending week for me.....oh and I bought my dad's birthday present also which is 2 Neil Diamond tickets to see him at the O2 in London in June. I'm taking him down with me in June anyway so we'll be going for two days longer than origially planned and I'm in the process of sorting that out right now.
Oh, my mum won't even be in the country for mother's day so her mother's day is going to be on the 6th March.
She rung up to let me know she isn't going to be in the country for mother's day because she knew I'd be wanting to take her something.
Her and my step dad are off to Cyprus less than 5 weeks after they got back from Malta. I wish I was going for a week or two. They got a last minute deal and are going all inclusive for a week and it costs £250 per person which is pretty cheap. I saw a deal for 2 weeks today for £500 per person and if I had a grand going spare I'd take my dad away for a fortnight.
So she gets to move mother's day for her haha.
I'm doing a duathlon in June.....am I crazy? haha. I am far from being fit right now but having a goal like this will push me to work out and train for it. It's for charity too so that makes me want to do it even more, I might even get some sponsership for it because it's all for a good cause.
So it's 5K run followed by a 20K bike ride and then finishing with a 5K run. I'm doing the bike ride and I'm hoping to find someone to do the running parts for me because I know I can be fit enough to do the bike part but maybe not the running bit and I don't want to come last so if I have someone to do the running it will help me out a lot.
I am planning on doing 3 bike rides a week and walk/run 2-3 times a week. The bikes rides may only be 30 minutes each to start off with down Witton Park but it's better than nothing and 3 a week is a good start and there are various things I can do round Witton Park and the surrounding woods and roads and everything, there is a bit of hills and rougher routes I can take myself round as I get fitter.
My training is starting Monday so I need to find time to fit this in, it will probably stop me from watching my daily DVD some week nights but the end result will be worth it I am sure.
I also have plans for a 5K charity race in August and a 10K charity race in July so of course the walking/running will eventually go from 2 times a week to 4 times a week at some point. I won't be doing any races (running wise) before July so that gives me time to get fit enough and I hope to progress a lot further than I've done before.
I should be having a driving lesson this week. I'm a good driver and too confident according to my dad but my reversing needs work and I need to re-learn how to drive the way you need to pass your test (I can it anal driving haha) so I'm gonna need 3-4 lessons to sort that out so that will cost around £100(ish). Oh and did I mention that I plan to pass before the 6th of April? I've got 6 weeks today to do that in so I've basically got to go out for a lesson with this instructor (who I found when I out driving and was stopped behind him at traffic lights and was impressed by his car haha) and see if we get on etc and then see when he can fit me in and then put in for a cancallation driving text and hopefully get it before the 6th April and of course pass it.
The reason I've picked that date (as well as it actually pushing me and motivating me to finally getting this done) is because my dad is doing a 14 mile race in the Lakes and I want to drive him up there and there is no B roads all the way there and there is some motorway and only being a learner I can't drive on the motorway so my dad would have to drive that bit and it's OK on the way there but after running 14 miles and spending the day in the Lakes I don't think he'd fancy any driving so I want to be able to drive us there and back so I need to pass my test so watch this space.
Right I need to go to bed, I'm cream crackered and have lots to do tomorrow.
