    Hope the hummous was good, OliveOyl!

    Clients to see today, so hopefully a bit of extra money to add to the debt overpayment pot by the end of the day.

    Other than that, nothing expected - OH is working today and tomorrow in his second job, and I need to start sorting the spare room ready for our new student to arrive next weekend.

    Have a good one, and if you are eating chocolate at any point, enjoy!!

    Hypno, not meaning to be cheeky, but are you going to do one of your tapes for giving people energy similar to yours?

    Lots of pepole got to the Dr's complaining they're Tired All The Time, so there must be lots of people looking for energy :D Could you "bottle" yours?

    Grit and determination I think as well as energy! Well I hope my energy will arrive before I open the shop in an hour. I have been sat here for 40 minutes checking my email, and adding to my thread. Still have no energy. By the time I had finished at work yesterday I was the proverbial knackd. But I have to do it all again today. Thank goodness Monday is a bank holiday and I can take it off. Assistant will be running shop then. Before she goes off on her main holiday next weekend. I hope that all these people having clear outs for charity will be good to me and stop bringing me their rubbish, their odd socks, and used underpants this weekend!!!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
