Pinch and a punch for the first of the month.
***
Just started the weekly virus scan so hopefully it'll be finished by the time I come down tomorrow morning.
***
Gotta remember to take me supplements, but I'm gonna take the puppy out for her morning stroll first... BBS.
***
That's the puppy walked, fed and watered. She poo'd and made it difficult for me to pick up 'cos it was right next to the kerb so it was too far away from the house wall for me to lean my bum against and just far enough away from a car that I couldn't lean against that either.
I managed to pick it up though, but my anxiety was through the roof!
Gonna take me supplements now, then brush me teeth.
***
That's the supplements swallowed. Not the worst, but not the best either this morning. Time to brush me teeth now.
***
Teeth brushed and my knees are going "don't walk around very much today, 'cos we can't support you" so most of today is going to be spent on the sofa, other than going to the bathroom and getting me lunch then taking the plates out to the kitchen. I've gotta take notice of my body when it warns me like this.
***
Mac 'n' cheese 'n' garlic bread for lunch today apparently. Gonna make a start on studying before then though.
***
Lunch made me really ill today 👎👎
Gonna get on with me studying when I feel better.
***
Up to module 8 now so I've got 3 modules and at least three, possibly four assessments to do then that's the last course finished 😞
Still got 3 other courses to do on Alison and OpenLearn, but I've really enjoyed these courses on New Skills Academy over the last 10-ish days!
***
That's all ten modules studied, so just got the end of course test to do then that's it, finished!
Wish me luck!
***
There were 30 questions, I got 2 wrong so I passed the course with a huge score of 93.33%!
Yaaaaay!!
***
Going to bed now and hoping for a celebratory lie-in tomorrow.
Nitey-nite-nite orl!

Tuesday 30th April 2019
Just taken me supplements. They all went down pretty easily today, thankfully.
Gonna take the puppy for our morning stroll then start studying one of the longer courses today. Wish me luck that I pass!
***
600% this morning. Steve's got someone calling him at 9am so I'll make a start on my next course, but pause it just before then if it's a video course in case someone comes to the door or whatever.
***
The call has finished now, so I can start studying.
***
I'm pretty sure I've already done this course... can't remember the answers to the assessments though, unfortunately 😞.
***
Steve's just made some posh (cafetierre) coffee for us while I was brushing me teeth.
***
That's the course finished - 3x100%'s and 2x80%'s. 2 questions wrong out of 25 ain't bad though!
Onto the first writing one now then I can have me lunch.
***
Just finished the Writing Skills certificate with a score of 100% and updated the pages - just got one more course to go then I'll have finished the 15 course bundle that I bought at the weekend. It's a looooong course though, so I'm hoping it's just short video modules with an assessment at the end of each module to pass it, rather than full of text and a huge assessment at the end 'cos I'll never remember the answers tomorrow of things I study this afternoon!
***
I was wrong.
It's 4 modules, rather than the 10 I thought I remembered. Assuming I pass the course it'll be the certificate for that as well as hopefully another certificate for passing all 15 courses in the bundle then I can concentrate on the two remaining childcare ones and hopefully pass those too. If I pass those 3 courses, I'll have shelled out £155 for 26 courses instead of £299 for just a single one!
Not bad going by anyone's standards.
I'm hoping I'll get another marketing email with at least one heavily discounted course that I want to do.
I've saved getting on for £7000 just by clicking on that Facebook ad and taking advantage of each marketing email they've sent!
***
The s'getti and meat-free meatballs was yummy for lunch today, but we're both stuffed after having a rare breakfast first thing lol
Time to get back to studying now though... four more modules then the bundle of courses is finished!
***
That's the last course of the bundle completed, so I've just updated and uploaded the pages then make a start on the Child Sexual Exploitation Awareness Certificate course 'cos that's only got four modules then do the bullying one, which is the one with 10 modules that I was thinking of earlier on, tomorrow.
***
That's both cache's cleared, ready for tomorrow's virus scan.
***
Third course of the day finito so it's time for me prescription now.
***
That's me prescription down the hatch now so it's time to catch up with me emails and Facebook until it kicks in now!
***
Gonna have a really early night for a change... bet I'll still be awake at 10pm though lol
Nite nite orl!

Monday 29th April 2019
Brushed me teeth already this morning and it's only 7.36am! Gonna take the pup for an early morning stroll then get straight on with studying again. I think they are all longer courses left to do now, so I need to get started on 'em early so that I remember everything for the end of course tests!
***
1100% and only 3 side steps today! I'm absolutely exhausted and hot and achey and tired now though. Not gonna be able to leave the sofa except to go to the bathroom today now!
Time to take me supplements and recover a bit. Really need the B12 boost now!
***
That was gross. I crunch up the Calcium every morning 'cos it's capsule shaped and I've never been able to swallow capsules, but for the second time in the last couple of weeks, the crumbs formed a paste and slid down my throat before I'd even taken the lid off the squash!!
The B12 is starting to kick in but I'm gonna boost it with the B12 spray too, to help me to recover from this morning's marathon walk. Need to get some more soon!
***
I'd forgotten how quickly the B12 kicked in! Under 2 minutes and it's already noticeably kicking in!! Just need something to support my knees now lol
***
First mug of coffee of the day and it's the posh (cafetierre) one. Still waaay too hot to drink without burning me tongue atm and we're trying some new-to-us biccies too. I'll let you know what I think of them.
***
We approve.
Steve said if there was a caramel one they would be splendid. There are, so maybe we'll get them next time?
***
100% on the first module. One down, four to go.
***
The bin bag collectors have been and gone, just waiting for the recycling now then it's all sorted for another week.
***
100% on the second module too. Two down, three to go.
***
100% on the third module. Two modules left to study then that's another course finished.
***
Another 100% on the fourth module. One more to go then it's finished.
***
100% on the fifth module too, which means I scored 100% on the entire course!
Gonna update the pages and upload them now.
***
Really enjoyed me lunch today - pasta bake but with more sauce and softer cheese than usual 😋. Went down a treat. Definitely one of Steve's best dishes that I've had in a loooong time... they are usually great, but this was definitely in the top 5!
Thank you Steve 💕 😘!
***
Got the appointment now, but it's not until June! Like Steve said, they prolly put the request on all the repeat prescriptions for MH patients like me or he's a new addition to the team or something. It's done now though, I just hope I don't forget about it between now and then!
I'd love to drop to the next dose down from what I'm currently on but not if it's at the expense of my sanity! I'd rather stay on my current dose and be sane rather than dropping down and being loopy again. My health is more important than the dose I'm on being reduced!!
Time to see how long the GDPR course takes to study now. If it looks to be under 6 hours then I'll do it, but if not then I'll do it tomorrow instead.
***
Takes about 35 minutes for the first module, so if I err on the side of caution and give myself an hour per module, that's 3 hours so I'll be finished by the time the shopping has been and gone and I can reward myself with an early night. Sounds good to me! 👌
***
Another course done and dusted with pages updated and uploaded. Not gonna do any more today 'cos the shopping will be here soonish and I want an early night when it's been and gone. Got 5 more courses to do and apparently I'm now 80% of the way through the bundled course which ain't too bad goin' for less than a week!
***
That's me prescription taken and I've just burped a burp that tasted like dandelion, burdock and berries 'cos I had the two drinks so close together lol
***
The shopping has just been and gone. Apparently he was "a lovely chap. I only got as far as saying 'would you mind...' and he finished by saying 'want me to take them through for you?' and he took all the boxes through to the kitchen for me!" according to Steve. Last week's driver refused to take them through to the kitchen so what changed other than the driver this week?!
Can anyone say gender discrimination last week?!
***
The pills are kicking in so I'm heading to bed now.
Nite nite orl... C U in the morning!

Sunday 28th April 2019
Just taken me supplements. They all went down pretty easily this morning. I accidentally swallowed some of the Calcium crumbs before opening the squash which was unpleasant at best, but it only lasted a few seconds before I could have a mouthful of squash so it wasn't too bad, thankfully.
Gonna walk the puppy dog now then she's going for another play-date at some point today then we'll do the rubbish and recycling while she's there. Apparently the leaves on the butterfly bush are already dying so I'll try and persuade Steve to cut it up a bit more while the pup's out too, so that we don't need to hold on to the saw for very long.
***
Just got back from our morning stroll and we met another new neighbour today, just as he was wheeling his suitcase down the road. Mitzi's lil tail was a blur and he seemed friendly so the puppy has three friends in the street now... potentially two toddlers if we can help them over their fear of dogs and their mum would make four neighbours who are friendly towards the puppy! There's a fifth house in the street that we know but I don't think they've ever met the pup.
Not bad going for a senior little puppy!
***
That's the puppy gone for her play-date. Yet again she raced off without even so much as a glance back at me!
The rubbish, recycling and cardboard is sorted now too, without any kind of grumbling at each other... go team!
The rubbish is barely ⅓ full, the recycling is in two boxes and the cardboard bag is out there full of pizza boxes from Steve's pizza and garlic bread and cookie doughes last night. We've done well with the rubbish this week... it's usually a full bag and just the one recycling box but not this week!
***
100% on that course the second time around!
***
100% on the second course of the day... first time I tried it this time, which is good going by me I reckon!
***
90% on the third course... it reminded me that I need to brush me teeth too, so I'll update the pages on my site then do it before starting the next course.
***
That's me teeth brushed, so it's time for me fourth course of the day - Communication Basics.
***
90% on that course too! Four courses completed, pages updated then uploaded, walking the puppy and brushing me teeth ain't bad going for a morning's work.
***
The puppy's back home!! She was only gone for maybe 2 or 3 hours this time but I missed her soooo much! The house felt so empty without her here! She's the smallest member of family in this house but oh boy do I miss her when she goes for her play-dates!
***
100% on module 1... just one more module to study before I hopefully pass the course!
***
100% on module 2 so either that's another certificate or there's another assessment... we shall see.
***
Nope, no third assessment, so I can update my pages now with my fifth certificate of the day!
***
90% on that course and after I've updated the 2 pages on my site that's it for studying today. Gonna work on making my pages easier to read for the rest of the afternoon.
***
That's the pages broken up a bit with lil icons in front of each course. Not gonna do any more studying or website editing for the rest of the day and I'm hoping for an early night.
***
Just taken me prescription and I've gotta remember to phone for an appointment at my GP tomorrow... you watch me forget though! lol
***
I is absolutely shattered so I'm shutting down and hitting the hay now.
Nite nite orl!

That's me teeth brushed. Need to take me supplements now, before I forget.
***
Our senior pup has been walked, fed and watered now and I'm about to take me supplements now, before I forget again.
***
Supplements went down OK, the Iron took three gulps but the Calcium, B12 and multi all went down with one gulp, so I can't really complain!
***
That's the tree cut up and ready to be bagged up and taken to the tip. Not yet though, we need to recover from chopping it up and moving it first. The branches still need to be chopped off and each bit needs to be a third of the size so that it'll fit into bin bags but it's been started now so everything else will be easier now.
We're having another take away for tea, but I think we deserve it after the last half an hour in the yard!
***
Finished the first course of the day with a score of 90% which ain't bad going at all!
***
90% on the second course too. Three down, fourteen to go.
***
Just taken my prescription. The third course of the day has got 5 modules and it's not a video one, like the first two so it's taken oneheckuva lot longer to do.
***
That's the third course of the day passed even though I only studied half of it and didn't even glance at the last 2 modules at all so that's not bad goin'!
Gonna watch the Sainsbury's video then head to bed.
***
I'm orf to bed for an early night.
Be back tomorrow morning though.
Nite nite orl!

Friday 26th April 2019
That's the puppy walked and fed. She made it difficult for me twice this morning 'cos she poo'd right at the edge of the pavement so there was nothing for me to lean on when I picked it up. She also decided to do an extra 50% this morning which'll make for difficult calculations on Sunday evening! Grrrr!
Back to studying today though... got 17 courses to get through lol Might start off with the touch typing and shorthand one 'cos I already know both... depends on which shorthand it is though 'cos I know Teeline and don't want to get it confused.
***
That's me supplements taken. They all misbehaved this morning, but especially the Calcium (still got crumbs all over my mouth) and Multi (it took 3 gulps of squash before I could swallow it). The Iron and B12 were the best, but only just 'cos they took 2 gulps each.
It's done for the day now though, so I can start studying.
***
That's another course done and dusted. One down, 16 to go lol Gonna catch up with Facebook and my emails until bedtime now though.
***
2 surveys completed this evening. Got 31 more invites so I'm just gonna mark them all as read and read my other emails then head to bed.
***
Goin' to bed now. Nite nite orl!

Thursday 25th April 2019
That's me teeth brushed, supplements taken, virus scan finished and back-ups in progress. Just gotta walk and feed our senior baby girl and wait for the enabler to come back again.
***
Just bought 3 more courses for £53.99 instead of almost £1600 (not a typo) so that'll keep me busy for a while again... it's amazing what a bit of patience can get you lol
***
That's the puppy walked, fed and watered and the back-ups finished and me external hard drive put away for another week. Steve's making a cafetierre of posh coffee and has sent me a style thingy to change the style of the listing items on my courses pages to be square instead of circular, so I'll sort that out then surf the internet for more free (or at least very cheap) courses to take.
You watch me forget though lol
***
One of the courses was a 15 course bundle and I'd assumed it was going to be the same as the other bundled course I did... just a single course with all of the courses included.
I was wrong.
It's 15 individual courses so it's even better value for money than I was thinking!
Assuming I do one course a day, starting tomorrow, it'll be 11th May that I finish all of them!! All for under £55 too, which is more than 80% off just a single course costing £299!! Or is my maffs wrong? Either way, I'm saving £299x14+£244 which is a huuuuge saving.
I've already done 8 courses which cost a grand total of less than £100 (I'm rounding up for ease of calculations for me lol), plus today's 17 courses (the 15 course bundle and the 2 I was going to get anyway) for £55 is £155 for 25 courses which is just over half the price of a single course usually, so I'm basically getting 24 of the 25 courses for free!
Clicking on that Facebook ad has saved me several thousand pounds... hold on while I bring up the calculator.
£299x25=£7475.
Take off the video courses which would have cost £49 instead of the £299 and I've still saved over £7000 'cos there weren't anywhere near 9 video courses that I've taken... it's maybe 3 or 4 but to make my OCD happy, lets say it's £7000 saved 'cos it's a nice round number which my OCD likes lol
***
So true:

Just bought 3 more courses for £53.99 instead of almost £1600 (not a typo) so that'll keep me busy for a while again... it's amazing what a bit of patience can get you lol
***
That's the puppy walked, fed and watered and the back-ups finished and me external hard drive put away for another week. Steve's making a cafetierre of posh coffee and has sent me a style thingy to change the style of the listing items on my courses pages to be square instead of circular, so I'll sort that out then surf the internet for more free (or at least very cheap) courses to take.
You watch me forget though lol
***
One of the courses was a 15 course bundle and I'd assumed it was going to be the same as the other bundled course I did... just a single course with all of the courses included.
I was wrong.
It's 15 individual courses so it's even better value for money than I was thinking!
Assuming I do one course a day, starting tomorrow, it'll be 11th May that I finish all of them!! All for under £55 too, which is more than 80% off just a single course costing £299!! Or is my maffs wrong? Either way, I'm saving £299x14+£244 which is a huuuuge saving.
I've already done 8 courses which cost a grand total of less than £100 (I'm rounding up for ease of calculations for me lol), plus today's 17 courses (the 15 course bundle and the 2 I was going to get anyway) for £55 is £155 for 25 courses which is just over half the price of a single course usually, so I'm basically getting 24 of the 25 courses for free!
Clicking on that Facebook ad has saved me several thousand pounds... hold on while I bring up the calculator.
£299x25=£7475.
Take off the video courses which would have cost £49 instead of the £299 and I've still saved over £7000 'cos there weren't anywhere near 9 video courses that I've taken... it's maybe 3 or 4 but to make my OCD happy, lets say it's £7000 saved 'cos it's a nice round number which my OCD likes lol

That's the enabler been and gone.
She had another look in the kitchen and said about tidying up the bit just in front of the microwave and bringing it forward so that I can use that for ready meals for us when Steve doesn't feel up to cooking and getting rid of his rollator and replacing it with a perching stool so that he can use that when he cooks, instead of the rollator which he hasn't used for anything other than sitting on either while he's cooking or waiting for the shopping since he got it, which would save a lot of room, then we'd just need to tidy up the sides ready for the food processor and pasta machine and bread machine that we've got but are still boxed up because there's nowhere to put them right now.
I *want* to cook, I'm just not steady enough to be able to reach down to put things into and take things out of the oven, but if I could get to the sides we could work as a team where I would do the preparation then Steve puts it into the oven and dishes up!
I just need to find a way to motivate Steve to do it first, like with the Creme Eggs and cooking? I occasionally get into these "must tidy up" moods but there's very little I can do with the rollator in the way right now. If we can get the perching stool for Steve then I'll be able to get most of it done on my own in a couple of hours when I'm feeling particularly house-proud/motivated, there's just very little I can do right now 'cos I can't reach past the rollator!

Just taken me prescription. Found a couple of stools that have potential for Steve, but he wants to wait and see what the OT comes up with first.
Typical.
Just asked Steve if the software will be finished in 5 days and he said "don't see why not!" - you'll have to forgive me for not believing him 'cos it's taken at least 6 weeks so far, despite it being promised in under 10 days! If it's not in my hands by the end of April, I'll be wanting my £1000 back which he's already admitted he's spent and can't afford to refund it!
***
He's been promising the software since 28th November 2018 and I've paid him £1250 for it in advance but he hasn't even started on it so I've been waiting for it since he promised it nearly 6 months ago and I've paid him in advance instead of on delivery like the other people he's been creating sites for!!
He complained about being paid 3 weeks late so I think I've got a right to get arsey when I've waited 8 times that long for something that was promised within 10 days!!
Well I've had enough. When I eventually get the software I'll be paying on delivery like everyone else!
***
I'm absolutely exhaustapayted so gonna shut down, finish me mug of tea then head to bed.
Nite nite orl!

That's me supplements swallowed. They were all a PITA this morning 😒 Not a single one went down without any problems and they all took 3 mouthfuls of squash each before they went down. Not happy at all.
***
Steve found a video on YouTube overnight about someone who survives on just the shops own brands of food. Apparently he bought at least one of everything in the Sainsbury's Basics range to live on for a week for £77 and Steve said he fancies giving it a go. Sounds good to me!
Gonna walk the puppy then watch the two that are currently up.
BBS.
***
600% today and she met the lovely man over the road, was talked to and stroked... she seemed to like him almost as much as the man next door!
***
Just made use of the Pet Psychology course I did last Thursday on one of the Facebook groups I'm with, for the first time since starting to study online again! I just hope that the suggestions I made help the pet in question!
***
Pizza for lunch today - yummy and very filling... better than the ones that cost more I reckon!
***
That's me prescription swallowed... a lot easier than me supplements this morning, thankfully!
***
Our butterfly bush in the back yard has totally taken over the whole yard and there's no way of breaking off the individual branches 'cos they are just too thick so I'm hoping that Steve will ask his dad if we can borrow a hand saw to hack away at it and hopefully get it cut right back again so that we can use our back yard again at last and it'll give Mitzi more places to poo too!
***
Steve's just emailed a company about coming out to clear the entire back yard. He reckons it'll be too expensive and I can do it myself if his dad's got a hand saw we can borrow... it'll take a few hours to do but it will save so much money!
***
Going to bed now... nite nite orl!

Shouldn't have done that.
The puppy forced me to walk 1200% today and wanted to keep walking but my knees would have given way so we had to come home when we did for my own safety 'cos if my legs had given way I wouldn't have even been able to crawl home and the puppy would have been like "WTF??"
Wanna try and very gradually increase our daily walks to 750% and our weekly marathon to 1500% by the end of the year. Gonna have to take things reeeeeally slowly though and there's still 7 months to do it in, so maybe we could increase it by 50% a month for the long walks and just slowly add in the distance for our shorter walks? It'll build up my confidence and muscles so that I only need to work on the slopes and kerbs then. It's gonna take me a looong time, but we'll get there in the end... just need to forget about my falls as easily as I forget how many lengths between our neighbours that we've done lol
***
That's me supplements swallowed. The Iron was a bit of a PITA this morning and took 2 mouthfuls of squash to get down, so the B12 and multi followed suit, but other than that it was OK. Not the best ever morning, but far from the worst too.
***
Just contacted a company in Somerset about getting rid of our two desktop computers and monitor so that it's three less things that we don't need cluttering up the bedroom. The other companies I've tried contacting (their forms didn't go through) seemed to mainly focus on organisations but seemed willing to do individuals for the right price too... their forms just didn't work so they've lost at least one customer there!
I just hope this place is willing to help individuals too!
***
The shopping has just been and, yet again the driver refused to take the boxes through to the kitchen because he was either male and/or his size (he's clinically obese) so Steve's going to email Sainsbury's about it again because it always happens when Steve answers the door to our groceries but doesn't happen when his sister does!
***
That's Steve's mini Toblerone's just been delivered and put into the fridge. We're having Angel cake and fruit pies for lunch apparently, so he'll only be getting one Creme Egg this week, assuming he cooks both days at the weekend!
He's just put the SPF50 kids sun cream on Mitzi's bald patch of fur and it didn't bother her in the slightest so we've just got to remember to put it on before we go for our morning stroll and when she goes on her play-dates too so that she doesn't get burnt again. Bless her little furry paws!
***
That's me prescription taken, hoping for a relatively early night tonight... will I get it???
***
Just clearing my cache's ready for tomorrow's virus scan... totally forgot, despite the reminder!
***
Just had me lasagne so it prolly won't be an early night after all 'cos if I go to bed too soon, I'll feel sick which will make me paranoid about throwing up in my sleep and choking on it then dieing which would put a slight crimp in the day!
***
Shutting down now... not going to bed straight away but I'm definitely logging off now.
Nite nite orl!

Monday 22nd April 2019 - part two
Just back from seeing Steve's family. He's seeing his dad again on Friday and they're going for a family day out in late May which I wasn't even invited to. It means that in only 5 days this week, he'll have seen his family the same amount of times as I've seen mine since the Summer of 2010.
Hardly fair, is it? 😞
***
Just taken me prescription, an hour later than usual but hey ho! Hopefully I'll be asleep by 10pm and awake by 7am so that I can be ready for when the post comes with Steve's Amazon delivery. I've gotta walk, feed and water the pup before the groceries arrive between 10am and 11am too!
***
Gonna try putting my jeans on tomorrow... they are the right size, as long as I haven't just got out of the bath, and I've lost hopefully enough of my belly to fit in to them this time!
Haven't worn jeans since I was at college and I miss them! 😃
***
Me prescription is kicking in so I'm orf to bed now.
Nite nite orl. Sleep well and, as always, I'll be back tomorrow.
