Dust and stuff

I'm having a break from cleaning. We've had maintenance in this week to sort out the rising damp in the kitchen and under the stairs. What a nightmare! They had to strip the walls back to brick and cover it in this foul smelling bitumen paint. Then they stuck plaster board back on the walls with expandable foam and skimmed it with plaster. Skimmed being just what they did. You can still see the scrim tape through the plaster. Now I know nothing about plastering but I sure enough know a bad job when I see one! Apart from that I have plaster all through my carpets and dust everywhere in every room. So far I've cleaned the living room and bathroom. Craig's gone out food shopping so I'm supposed to be getting on with the kitchen but I'm a bit lacking in motivation at the moment.

Apart from that I hate my new job! Though I'm back to normal hours now. I'm bored and I hate the way the entire company works. Oh it just makes me cringe thinking about it!! I think I need something a bit more intellectually challenging. Something where I can use my brain for once. I feel like I'm stuck in another part time student job rather than my first proper job.

I've also come to the conclusion that I think I should've been born like about 40/50 years ago. Then I'd fit in. Craig has commented on this in a round about way. I'm very old fashioned in my beliefs and values and my taste in decoration, music, dress etc. Oh well, never mind. I'd rather be old fashioned in my ways than into a lot of the sleaze that people my age (23) get up to nowadays.

Anyway, I was in the middle of sorting out passport applications. Better go finish them or we won't be going anywhere on honeymoon!

A very tired me!

Well, I can't believe it's been nearly an entire month since I last posted! I have worked my little socks off the past 4 weeks. My first week I did 68 hours and I haven't done less than 40 a week since. I 'm fed up and tired now though. I'm sick of the sight of Primark and never have the time to do anything at home, not even shopping or housework. Of course I've done some cross stitch but then that's relaxing at the end of a long day! I'll be very glad that from Monday I will only be working my contracted hours which are 2pm - 6pm. No more early mornings. Great!!

I guess the most important news I've got from the last 4 weeks is I finally got to see the specialist consultant at the hospital and finally got a diagnosis. I've been waiting since last December for this. It's just as my GP originally predicted...I have poly cystic ovary syndrome. The long wait has given me a lot of time to get my head round this otherwise I'd be a lot more upset than what I am. Even though I'm just a size 12 I've also been told I must watch my weight so no more chocolates or biscuits for me! I'm taking line dancing classes for exercise too! My next appointment is in April after our wedding when we will be looking to start a family. I just hope and pray that I don't have to go down the whole IVF route of things.

Anyway, that's it for now... I better go update my stitchy blog and sort out my backlog of e-mail.
