Have realised that this chapter is most definitely two chapters... This is good as ultimately it means I have been completing two chapters when thought it was one, so bargain! But not good as am not sure how to cleave it neatly into two that flow into the rest of the thesis. I don't want any 'stand alone' chapters.
Reading wise I have not done very weel this week, though it has been a settling in week as much as anything, so this week instead I am being pleased that:
- I have got back into working
- I am enjoying working
- I have two chapters for the price of one
- I have settled Bean into the childminders and he is very happy
- I have settled Bean (and me!) into a routine of getting up at 7.30am so he is asleep before 8pm of an eve so i can work, once I get into the groove of getting all housey stuff done by then too
- I have continued a hardcore exercise regime of Boot camp twice a week (which is killing me, am most pleased) and will start a triathlon swimming club on Tuesday. Apparently it is very quiet and they train you to swim properly, which as a mad fan of swimming I cannot wait for. I *shall* be fit. I have noticed this week actually that with this exercising I am mroe awake and positive than I have felt for many a moon. You would think exercising would do the opposite really but no, am extraordinarily with it. My detoxing (well, just staying away from too much fried sh*t and takeaways really!) is going well too. Hurrah!
So yes, yes, am most pleased.

hi janey, just logged on to read your blog - my little boy is one next weekend and a joy! sounds like you are having as much fun being a mummy as I am. I am still writing my thesis and have just three weeks left....EEK!! Am shattered as still lots to do, burning the midnight / 2am oil. Keep going, you will get there - I found a half hour rule worked well for me when i was getting back into things - commit to half an hour a night (seems a lot when you are knackered looking after a toddler, I know), but it gives you a sense of control. Shall keep reading, best of luck x jenny
Hi Jenny! And congrats, congrats - you are nearly there! Please let me know when you submit, I would be so inspired ;0)
Thanks for your advice, you are so right. Every night I shall sit and write for half an hour, then either carry on if I want or allow myself to veg downstairs with a hot chocolate if I can't.
Thanks again and happy first birthday to your wean. I am finding Motherhood the best fun ever, hence not working ;0)
x J
