Ovulation Test Stress

So I found my camera wire, it was hiding behind the sofa in the living room, so I have been testing my ovulation for the last 6 days, and according to my monthly cycle tracker I am suppose to start ovulating today but my test is only a little bit darker than the last five days and my temperature seems to be staying the same either the tracker is wrong or I am not ovulating or I missed which is hard to think I have missed it when I started looking for the lines on CD14 (cycle day 14).
This is very annoying, 4 months to get this right, maybe in the next month or so I'll buy some of the expensive ones that give you a smiley face if you are, Hmmm, who knew trying for a baby would be confusing and hard. But my husband has been cheering me up looking like this:

Ha ha bless him, okay back to revision and waiting for Freya to come around with her boyfriend to tell me how much it is going to cost to get my loft board so we can get some of the husbands stuff up there to give me some space.

Weight

Today we brought bathroom scales, I have not been on a set of scales for about two years, so I got on them today and I am 9 and half stone, which isn't my heavy weight but like my normal weight.  I know I am in the top of a normal healthy BMI scale but still I have been really good lately well in the last week (porridge for breakfast plus fruit, yogurt, special K bar and fruit for lunch and a nice yummy meal but I have addiction to croissant and pastries at uni), smaller portions and not snacking as much :(  I would like to be 8 and half or just 8 stone.

Any tips of losing a stone and half in the next couple of months, I am going to start getting back on my exercise bike every day but anyone else give me some good tips to lose weight and what I should eat?  I would be so grateful.

Alive

I am alive :) It is 4 weeks before the end of Spring term so all the assignments have been coming out, so I have been so busy with them oh and my driving lessons are going really well right now, fingers crossed I'll pass at the end of April. I had to cut the lessons down to one a week while all this crazy university work is going on but in my holiday I am going back up to three a week!

My week is a little bit crazy at the moment, here is my schedule:

Monday - up at 6am, lessons from 9am till 3pm then home again (must add it takes me a total of 4 hours to get to and from university).
Tuesday - up at 6am again, lessons from 9am till 4pm, home again
Wednesday - all day university work, from 8am till 9pm at night I am getting worn out
Thursday - up at 6am again, lessons 10am till 3pm
Friday - driving lesson and more university work
Saturday/Sunday - university work, housework and all that fun stuff

I am so tired from all the university work I have to do, and it is all I do 24/7 well apart from sleeping of course. Drama the other day husband fell down a flight of stairs at the train station landing on his tail hone, he was in so much pain he couldn't move all evening had to lie on the bed, I thought we would have to go to hospital but he seems to be okay now still can't walk very fast, has pain here and there but looks like he has just bruised it, I hope anyway.

Other news we had a power cut yesterday, no power for two hours and I was in the middle of doing an assignment and the computer went "bing" and everything went out, the thing that annoyed me the most was there was no information on the helpline it kept just telling me that knew about the problems, pfft!

I'm off to do some more assignment or sleep or watch Big Bang Theory (just finish How I met your mother all 5 seasons, so good!!), a green kitchen post tomorrow since I had to clean my kitchen for two hours today.

2010 Goals

So it is about that time of years where I do the goals I want to reach by next December :)

So far I have come up with,

+ tone up (which I have started third day in the row I have used the running machine and done my 50 sit ups, I am going to increase the time and the amount slowly, like once a week).

+ Save £2,000 in our rainy day savings (£175 so far)

+ Save £2,000 for my car fund and lessons (£350 so far)

+ Save £900 for the summer (nothing so far).

+ Learn to drive

+ Pass 2nd year of university

+ Learn Java

The savings are need to be done by the June 2010, so 6 months, I have worked out we can do it :)

That's about it, I will try and keep updated about the goals every month, I have written on our whiteboard, where we are in the savings so the husband knows :)

What are yours?

Depressed

Don't know what it is wrong with me right now, I am slowly losing interest in my beloved blog :( Don't know why, I guess I am finding it a bit of a chore right now and I personally don't find any of my posts interesting... I'm just feeling pretty depressed about it all to be honest.

Feb up with the blog, fed up with the sites, fed up with my house.. rubbish nothing ever gets done, and the main problem behind this is money, so I try to make money from paid blogging but all the good jobs go to page rank 3 and I have tried so hard but I am still page rank 2 :(

Okay I am off to sulk hopefully feel happier later..

Time of the month

I am in pain, stupid time of the month, totally wiped me out couldn't find any pain pills so took the pills I had from when I had surgery, so I was knocked out cold in about 20 minutes woke up about 3 and half hours later, feeling very sleepy still but not in so much pain.

God I hate being a woman sometimes, now I just have one of those back heating things around my womb because I could not find a hout water bottle! Because things move in my house without me doing anything, as you can tell I am not impressed and am pretty grumpy :( Bad times

Headaches

Not only am I not sleeping (for the last three days) but now I have a horrible headache so I am having to lie down in the middle of the day :( Any cures for headaches?

Took some lensip still not feeling any better going to make an appointment to have my eyes tested :( But lookie what I made, not great but I was bored.



It's a cloud :P



And this suppose to be a bead necklace... unsure about it..

I want to learn vectors really...

No sleep for me

So I was watching BBC News and something just grabbed my attention when it says that us brits are downloading random TV shows from America well we have to you have the best TV shows! Supernatural, Heroes and 24 oh oh and LOST! and Top Gear.... oh no we shouldn't download Top Gear... lol it is repeated every night on dave anyway!

Onion is still being a little pain, he likes to sit on my computer desk right in front of my computer, he either attacks my screen because of the mouse or he attacks my fingers because I am typing and that oh so interesting.  Kit has decided she does not like Onion and gets annoyed when he tries to play with her, but I keep catching her playing with him and winding him up, she can't have it both plays, she can't hiss at him for playing with her tail if she is inviting him to play.

Not alot is really happening today, I need to list some of these things for ebay as I didn't get a chance to do it yesterday because I went into town with my muther and brothers, other than that I need to do my paid blogging and tidy the house.

Also I haven't been sleeping, this was the third night where I kept waking up :( Makes me feel knacked and grumpy all day, I have no idea why I keep waking up.

Sleep

I don't know what is wrong with me lately, I am so tired, the last two nights I have been waking up on the hour every hour and it is driving me nuts, I don't know why I am waking up as I have never done so before.  I really need a good night sleep, oh please let me have more sleep...

Ow ow ow OW!

Wow, I love laptops, I am on my husbands laptop as I am laying in bed with pillows behind the neck because it seems that I have pulled a muscle in my neck which means now every time I move my right arm or move my face to the right I get pain all the way through my body and I cannot move!

So I am hiding in the bedroom trying to stop the pain, husband has been great helping me up and down stairs, to the toilet, bringing all the bits to the bedroom and feeding me, you know it is love when someone has to help you on and off the toilet and doesn't laugh.

I did find a new magazine today, yep another computer related one, called Web User so this has to be another one I want, so once uni comes around I will getting both of these monthly as it is nice to stay up to date on computer related and web related things.  I have realised that I am such a geek, I don't read fashion mags but I adore the computer ones.... I will always be a happy geek.

Oh and joys of joys my cats have fleas again, I really don't know how, Onion has had them for awhile, he had them when we got him, so we took him to the vets, he got sprayed.  And the last couple of days he has been scratching so we went and got more flea treatment, plus more flea treatment for the house, so hopefully this will be the end of flea, oh please let this be the end.

Okay I am going to end here as I want to watch Binge Drinking and underaged and pregnant on BBC IPlayer, what else can I do? Oh right maybe paid blogging :P

Treatments for Symptoms

Treatments for Symptoms is a website that tries to give the best treatment for symptoms and cures for ailments all using home-made remedies.

I found on this website if you have a cold or flu related symptoms that using garlic and ginger in some way if it is by a recipe or in a hot drink that it should help, I might try this as I love garlic and funny enough I do have ginger in my cupboard.  I am not sure if ginger really works, I know for sure that hot lemon helps loads and it also helps you lose weight if you have a hot cup of it in the morning, good to know!  Of course if symptoms get worse than seek professional medical advice because everyone is different.

Dr Daniel Amen has authored a lot of great books that talk about the neuro and psychiatric aspects of a human being. Learn how Dr. Amen's brain imaging can help cure diseases.

Swine Flu

Good evening everyone, whoa I feel like I have been in a dream world for the last day and a bit, it turns out the husband does have mild swine flu and I have been feeling really achey for the last couple of days and looks like I have it to so I am stuck in the house going a little bit crazy!  Plus it is so hot inside the house today, it could just be me but I am feeling so hot like I am going to faint.

Okay I might have to go and lie down but I wanted to show you this, this is my dad and his friends on facebook being grumpy old men!



Oooh must add I booked my flights to Scotland to go and see my dad plus my sisters in 4 weeks and 3 weeks until Greece honeymoon, so excited!

Poorly

I am feeling pretty poorly... :( everything hurts and my brain is dying (and stabbing me) but I really need to stay awake long enough to earn some pennies...

Oh I give in, I'll go and sleep for an hour and see if that makes me feel any better.

Any home-made cold/flu cures?

Sunday Morning

Well I have no idea what is going on with the website, it is down, it is up, then it is down again, making it very confusing.  Hopefully the server people will fix it today because I never had this problem before I moved onto this server!

So I am awake on a Sunday morning at 8am, which is pretty good going for me but the hubby is still in bed and is whining about having to get up, and how this day is going to be boring, that really annoys me how are you suppose to know if a day is going to be boring until you get up and do something.

I am starting to feel normal again, I slept all yesterday so did the husband, and I personally believe we needed the sleep.  I think with all the stresses this week and him working, I think it just got on top of us, I've had to deal with the added stresses of people issues.  I was going to blog about but decided that it is not even worth it any more.

Other than that I have been looking for new make-up, I haven't worn any for awhile as I am not happy with my current selection, so i need a new foundation (one for oily skin), bronzer, skin highlighter, cream blusher, then something for under my eyes.



Mmm I am loving this colour, so bright :)

Me and the hubby figured out last night in the last 6 months we have watched, all of 24, all of Lost, Bones, Supernatural, Weeds, Dollhouse and now 4400, that's a lot of tv shows you fit into 6 months, I have to say my favourite is Lost, I didn't like it at first because it is really hard to get into but once you are it becomes addictive! Now season five has finished, I'm a bit lost without it, ha ha no pun intended!

My muther and hubby adore 24, my mum wants to be Jack Bauer and my husband wants to be with Jack Bauer, me on the other hand just wants to be the bad guys, gotta love Nina, she was a great bad guy!

Okay I have been writing this post for two hours due to distraction, urgh, hubby is still not up but I did find two friends I haven't spoken to in a year on fb :) Yay!

Light blub moment

So my sleep cycles have gone out of the window, I seem to be full for the whole day after one sandwich, and I know what it is, I realised this morning (no not pregnant), my depression has def reappeared this is what I get for not taking the anti-depressants for a couple of months, stupid really.  I was really good at taking them when I was at uni because of the stress of work and travelling but decided I didn't need them over the hol well I was wrong there. Crap!

You think I would be use to this as it has been going on since I was 14 years old but even though it has been rubbish living with it for 10 years, I am starting to understand the signs a lot quicker than I use to plus the husband always spots them before me so it is good I have him here as he is so understand and is use to it now.

Back to more happier news, I did manage to get two emails from people via eBay about buying 30 comics and the other guy about buying 10 so I should make quite a bit of cash which is lovely might even make the £300 this weekend with the way sales, paid blogging and other bits and bobs are going :)

Not much else is happening today, I have a few paid blogging to do, I want to put up some more old posts from 2002, I have exciting things to do like clean the litter trays, call the cattery and pack up all the eBay stuff I have sold.

New goals - 7 weeks to go both wedding and exams!

I have decided for the next 7 weeks which is how many weeks I have till the wedding and exams! Talk about close together, 4 days apart, urgh!

And I thought if I updated every day on my goals than maybe I will achieve them in some way.. hopefully, okay these are my little goals:

• Try to No Spend Days where possible


• Drink 1.5 of litres water (which is needed for my brain and wedding! I have to look healthy!) 


• Revise for two hours a day on the train to and from uni


• Post all ebay sells mon to fri either at uni post office or at the one near my train station


• List 3/4 items a day

So far today, I have managed the NSD, 50cl of water gonna fill up my water bottle again, will prepare items for posting, listed nearly 15 items today and will revise while in the bath and before bed.

Not bad for a days work, I am really hoping I can earn enough money through ebay, amazon and maybe paid blogging...

I need to do some more wedding stuff tomorrow, I am hoping  to get up at 6.30am to get some work done.

Sick yet again

So I am ill yet again, woke up this morning and felt so dizzy, I kept falling over and then I threw up! Great 3 days to Christmas and I am throwing up in my bathroom.. Great!Also had to call in sick to work which made me feel like a bitch, I think I might as well sleep all today and hopefully be well enough for tomorrow..

Well it's the end of the first term...

So I left my new job at the supermarket and managed to get a job as a xmas temp for a health store so I am very excited :)  I start on Tuesday :)

It is only for 4 weeks,  but it will help me reach my goal of 1.500 for I dont' have to work till the summer and spend all my time on my studies, I think I am saving quite well... nearly 500, just waiting for my SAYE money, plus my uni loan and what is left from the paycheck in Jan.

My plan is to get some job where I'll work for free but in return for the experince, maybe a network manager or a programmer or a web designer.. I can make tea or coffee, send post, write letters.. it will look good on my CV might help me find a job after my degree.

Uni is over for this term, am still awaiting my marks, anything above 40% is a pass in these four modules... not long maybe next week..

Boytoy has seriously damanged his back and has been signed off for 4 weeks, (well he will be going into work for his new job in Jan), I am just worried, we got to wait for blood tests, gotta play it by ear...

Other than that I am going to Ikea with my mum on Monday to get some bookcases for my living room and other bits for my house plus things for the wedding :)

Wedding planning is going well, just sending out the invites this week with the xmas cards, I have been taking pictures out of my wedding magazines for my hair styles, bits for the reception and my flower designs (with help from my FMIL).

I am enjoying Gossip Girl, no new epsiodes till Jan as well as the other tv shows..

A&E

So I was at work been on the till 2 hours, lifting baskets, then I felt something next thing I knew my stitch had gone funny and I was bleeding...

Managers at work dont' really give two fucks and the admin lady took me to A&E ..

3 hours later, my stitch is out, it was getting infected no one told me when to have it out, if I had left it in any longer I would have got an infection and that would of been serious!!!

Am in pain and have just got home.. I was so scared :( No work tomorrow so that is good news..

Urgh!

Post-Surgery

I am home after surgery today and feel a little funny but other than that I'm alright :)

Good news all my girlie parts are fine and I can have CHILDREN!! I am sooooo fricking pleased!!!

Also I might not be getting that extra two grand a year because according to the government because I live with my partner and under 25, I am still under my mothers income! Seriously wtf! But if I got married, had a baby or was overthe age of 25 it would be fine!

Good news that I am getting married in 7 months eh?

Also other than that I have interview this Friday and I have a dyslexia assessment next monday, I've been dyslexia since a babe so I just want help at uni :) and might even get money so that's all good..

Okay am off to sleep...
