    Hello again.....;)
    Glad you had a lovely holiday - you definitely sound all refreshed, full of motivation and ready to get going again:p
    We've been at my sister's for afew days as it was dd2's bday, the girls are now with their dad so I need to find some energy and get busy too.....rather than lie in the shade in the garden with my book as I have done this afternoon:D;)

    And I am like that too....sometimes I just can't be bothered going out in the sun and getting all hot and botheres - my sis always laughs at me as I like to get a sun umbrella or sit in the shade when we go abroad!! I do often prefer the evenings.
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Morning :D Not a great one so far, one of my eyes was all sticky again this morning :rolleyes: and I also managed to pull a muscle in my back in bed :o I think it was cos of the rowing machine yesterday, it used to make my neck twinge so am moving very gingerly again today :rolleyes:

    Nothing much planned this morning and ds is home this afternoon :D

    Ouch to the back/neck......take it carefully today. That means a cuppa, and your feet up, with the laptop for company.......

    I took myself off to a car boot sale this morning, inspired by the thread on the ebay board about your best car boot sale / jumble sale bargains ... anyway, I bought a Billabong shirt for 1.50 and an fcuk jacket for 1.50 and have duly stuck them on ebay, will see how they get on this week ;) Tbh, I dont expect to get much for them, its the fun of trying to find a bargain,a bit like that old car boot sale challenge programme with that really annoying woman on it :rolleyes:, but you never know, I may find a treasure one day ;):D

    My back still really hurts, its that really annoying twingy pain that you forget about and then you move suddenly and its agony :D

    Back to work tomorrow and have a mystery shop to do after school tomorrow. This is the week my new mortgage finally kicks in so will be updating my signature accordingly for that ;) Hopefully my new sofa should be here within a couple of weeks too :j
