Sunday 4th December

It's been a hectic weekend all told. I was up at 6.30am yesterday to do the housework and, especially important, to hit Tesco before the crowds get there. The week's shopping was done and put away by 8am.

But that's not all, the masterplan for the day was to put up a big massive (well, 7 and half foot) Christmas tree for Baby Daughter whilst she was at work as she'd been asking about one for a few days. Let's say she was pleasantly suprised when she came back home. Although we'd been talking about having a natural tree this year I've decided not to, owing to the crippling finance situation.

We'll be having a proper Christmas tree next Christmas though because it'll be Baby Daughter's turn to have Christmas with me. She's with her mum this year, and I'm dropping her off there Christmas Eve night.

The worse thing about yesterday is that I planned to create a second partition on my Windows 7 PC so I could run 7 and XP together, but somehow it went wrong, and the XP partition became the primary one, wiping out everything on the computer.

Thank God I've got everything backed up. Thank God I now have a totally XP computer so all my software and printers work. Excellent. A heart stopping moment, but excellent.

All I've got to do now is sort out my drivers for my portable hard drive (as the XP computer doesn't recognise it) and retrieve all my data and copy back onto the PC, especially the antivirus program I've paid a two year subscription to, and still have a year to run on it.

And today, after getting up at 9am, I've done a computer repair for a friend, earning me £20. And, that's about it really. Just another weekend.

A weekend that's gone in a flash again. Things are going to change. I cannot carry on wasting my life at work.
