Shopping at 4:30am has it's upsides

1) my parking space was still there when I got back
2) I gave the shelf stackers at Tesco's heart attacks, especially with what has to have been the noisiest trolley in the world
3) the shop was empty except for various other weirdos - not as many as one might expect in a town the size of Salisbury
4) No queues at the petrol station
5) Actual petrol in the petrol station

Now before ye all think I'm completely crazy - I was awake since half 3 and not getting back to sleep so figured I might as well make use of the time. Another 100mins before I had planned to get up - what can I do with myself? well there's probably some quiet housework I can manage

In other news, I'm feeling a bit disappointed in a friend of mine. We normally email about each others days a few times a day, depending on work load etc. Lately, I've noticed that despite some really big news on my part, it just gets ignored and only things that she does are mentioned. Now she's said she doesn't want to email me at all during the day - fair enough, we are both meant to be in work - but I can't help remembering a few weeks ago when I was busy and couldn't spare the time to answer as quickly as normal I got massive guilt trips over it - emails saying things like, 'Well now I've obviously pissed you off as well' and things like that. I'm starting to feel that as a friend she's a drain rather than an energy source. Now, she's a lovely lady and I enjoy hanging out with her and spending time with her, but I think I'm going to make less of an effort from now one. I just don't feel like it's worth my while. Despite knowing about my wedding for over a year, she's now saying she might not be able to come cos of work. even my friend who's currently in Malaysia is coming to the wedding. I'm only planning on getting married once!!!

Never mind. One person isn't worth getting upset over really.

OK so today - I have 90mins before I planned to get up. So, I'm going to get a load of washing on the go - actually no, I'm not cos there's a new born next door, so I'll wait til I hear him crying, then I'll put it on. But I can get a few loads of laundry ready. I can file paperwork and get the living room sorted. I can sort out the food in the kitchen and throw out the 'past its use-by date' stuff. I can fold and put away the dry clothes. I can box up the dvds and cds I want to bring to cash convertors. Along with anything else I think they might be interested in :)

Busy day ahead and my tummy isn't too keen on me at the minute, so lots of water and movement for me today. I may be posting a few updates during the day so don't worry too much - it's going to be mostly rubbish :)

OK aim one: gather all the clothes that need to go in the wash.
Aim two: file all paperwork properly.
Aim three: Food in kitchen.

Won't take long, right? :)
