The Dub Van World Tour of England: And that's why I don't like change.

Finally cleared enough room on the iPad to do the ordered by school upgrade to iOS7. And already don't like it. Won't load the FB app. All the neat swipe tricks I'd learned don't work. And it's just different.

Have downloaded a calendar/reminders app, so hopefully will help me to organise. Although its really just yet another super long to do list. Today's calendared event... Star Wars in ITV at 3:15!!

Did 9.5km on the treadmill this morning. Not totally wiped out. Pops sent a photo from Nan's house..

Felt even more depressed about the way my life is going.

Then PC on to tackle the accounts. So far I've managed to get from this...

to this...

Hardly impressive. But a start. Next pile to tackle is this...

and to polish my boots ready for the Parade tomorrow. Am so worried.

And if I work hard before Christmas tackling all these piles, then I get to spend the holidays tackling this...

Sunday: Survived my first Remembrance Parade as a Cadet (well, CFAV). My marching was no worse than theirs! They all did pretty well considering how much standing still and silent today required.

Made it back via Tescos in time for the last MotoGP of the season. Really sad that it's the last one for Jerry Burgess and the BBC. Let's hope that Vale can get a few wins next year, and that Cal has not made the stupidest decision in the history of stupid decisions.

Now transferring a VHS to DVD for Clare, while ripping the last of the NOW CDs, and starting to scan everything into the library app on the phone and iPad. GEEEEEEK!!!

Fri 15th Nov.

Well, got a job for a few more weeks. More a stay of execution than anything else. Shame there is no credit given for staying at school an extra 4 hours to help run a charity obstacle course, clear away said course, organise our non existent football team playing in a tournament that I had two days notice of (that's on a Wednesday afternoon, so again unpaid overtime) and do the restorative justice interview with a child who just told me she is not ever going to do my lessons. Then my boss saw me and told me I should be on bus duty. She got politely corrected. Inspired to keep trying?? no. Realise when I got to the van what an idiot I'd been for staying? Yup. Get told by a friend to give up as I have no chance? Yup. Feel like carrying on with life? Nope. Did running 10k help? kinda.

Sat 16th Nov.
Woke at stupid o clock. Audible, then watched Rage on iPad. Solely because had Eddie and Judi in it.
Haircut didn't go well. Have a small accidental bald patch. Should have stopped here..

I am so ugly. Oh well. Cleaned bathroom, washing on, started on mail pile. Dinner. Finished mail pile. Finally..

Tragic that an empty floor is an achievement. Was going to iron. Shirt owner away for the weekend. Fail. Watched Star Wars, and made LEGO model of the scene I was watching :-)

Found replacement website for gomusicnow. Downloaded Overtones and Robbie's latest. And started sorting out iTunes. Did ABC. Afternoon disappeared. Now to watch the end of Star Trek Into Darkness as fell asleep at ten last night.

Sun 24 Nov
Did 10k on the treadmill last week. None this week as I fear I cracked a rib last Sunday and it still hurts to breathe. Such an idiot. Stood up on treadmill and whacked ribs on metal spike. Winded myself and thought 'that's gonna hurt more later'. It does.

Enjoyed reading Jane Eyre in bed yesterday instead of running. Got some stuff done, like maths marking and the rest of the ironing but as usual the day just kind of disappeared. Dr Who was awesome and I am now a total fan. I already knew that Tennent and Hurt were cool, but now like Smith too. Emma Thompson on Graham Norton was also fab. She was being very cool and confident and also very hilarious. Be confident enough in yourself to be honest and silly. That's my lesson to learn from her.

Friday night I took Joshua to see Lion, Witch, Wardrobe at school. Was pretty good, but mostly I was just praying that my phone was back at Bex's. It wasn't. But hurrah for Find my iPhone. And a torch. Prayers answered when I found it in a pile of leaves. Need to learn to 'trust my feelings Luke'. As I knew putting it in hoody pocket was a bad idea.

Saturday I converted this...
