I have had no time to blog :( I have had no time to develop either!! Even my reading books are on hold (I am rereading the Spooks apprentice... something for a child to read seems appropriate at the moment!).
I am now at a grand total of 8117 words and 307 reponses to my questionniare (so much for getting 1000!). All I am doing is going to work, coming home, cooking some tea and then writing my thesis... it is all very boring and I can't wait to get it finished. For once in my life I want to exercise but can't as I have no free time, I am not even stitching at the moment.
Still I have two development things to tick off
1. We have booked the honeymoon
2. I have put a deposit down on a wedding dress
Now if only I can find a lovely expert on dog personalities to write my thesis for me!! I don't expect I will have much to report over the coming weeks other than milestones on my word count!

Thesis of doom
About 3100 words on the thesis of doom now... it is not as if I need to panic though... it is only five weeks before it needs to be in for checking... *screams silently*. My lack of progress really isn't all my fault though!! My lappytop has been in the hosptial this week as it got infected with a virus and my supervisor is sometimes rubbish at getting back to me and when that involves me needing to get details of a meeting from her it is less than ideal! I am trying to read articles in my lunch hour but even then I am struggling... maybe I will pull some all nighters closer to the deadline!!
Other than that my life has not been very productive, with the parents being away on holiday (they got back today thank god!) I have been trying to work and keep the house ticking over (which is acutally harder than it sounds when everyone living in it is so messy)

Food is also evil
I couldn't stop eating junk today, I am either really healthy or really bad... I need to find a medium ground. Still today wasn't helped by the fact that I didn't sleep well and ached from personal training.
Slogged on with the dissertation today but don't really feel like I got anywhere. Managed to find most of the stuff I will need for wedding stationary. I hope in total it will cost less than £50 and that is me buying stamps and ink etc.
Far too rushed for my linking at the moment, in life, I had a bath and chilled out only to get out and I can already feel the stress levels rising so no blogging for the next few days I shall simply concentrate on doing all the jobs I need to do... anyway blogging is hard when the puppy decides that she really really needs to sit in my lap!

Wheat is evil
I have given up wheat (on the whole) and am feeling much better for it so yay :D. I have also managed to cut out bad snacks between waking up at 5pm and am eating salads for lunch (it is great as I get to stuff myself lol).
Finding I do have less time to spend on my masters than I thought, I managed three lines today... I keep having appointments that get in the way. But I hope to get up nice and early tomorrow and get a full days work in on it. I am at just over 2000 words now... though I hear one of my classmates is at 8000 (boo!!! lol) but she isn't really working. I got my questionniare back with amendments to make and was hoping to see my supervisor tomorrow but she has gone all really weird at responding again.
We costed up approxomations for the wedding today... probably about 15,000 which is very ouch but I already have about 10,000 saved from the bank of mum and dad, savings and working extra hours. The bf has contibuted a shiny ring so far... but hopefully now he is debt free he can get some proper saving done. Think I have found a photographer which is awesome but very expensive, we saw him at a wedding fair in Harrogate yesterday and he just seemed so chilled
I managed to get around to making the scrap book of our time together which I had been meaning to make for about 3 years. I have also finished 50 shades of grey which was sort of ok but I would like a bit more of a story link to link everything together. My best friend also lent me the second book so I may read that one as it was very easy reading once I got into it.
Other than that I have been pottering around doing house stuff, kinda keeping on top of it all but I need my mothers motivation to help me. I have also got a personal trainer who is working with me weekly. I have to do 3 cross country training sessions by next week but I think that is achivable as she wants me to start off with just 5-10 mins per go. I am thinking I will get up uber early and get started (cue me rolling out of bed at 9am and sitting around doing nothing... I do not mentally engage till about 10am... I wish I was a morning person but it is just never going to happen)

Freeedom!!
I am now part time... meaning
Parents have been away 6 days... I am coping much better than last time they went away and the house is kinda ticking over, it is not clean and tidy but it is acceptable. My last teaching session (apart from if we go play with the birds of prey) today so I can draw a line under that too for the year. I feel I am really making progress with my life, I have even had time to complete a scrap book of the finace and I and our time together which I have been meaning to do for about 3 years. I have also booked a personal trainer to come once a week and am cutting bread out of my diet (apparantly bread and antibiotics don't mix which may be why I feel so sluggish all the time... day one without it has gone well!!).
I bought a pack to enable me to larn how to make earrings so I can't wait to make a start, however I will wait until I am having a low point and need something to cheer me up. I am also toying with the idea of going away for a weekend in London next month with the bf... we just need to see he reacts.
So much development done... but so much more that I can achieve!!
- I can get the house work AND gardening done
- I have orchastrated two sets of work men in my mothers house yesterday
- The whole of the series of books I was supposed to order for my mum is now sitting in a bag wating to go to hers
- 1700 words of my thesis is done
- I have met my friend for drinks
- The bunnies have all had their claws trimmed
- I am calm and panic free :)
