  • Hey Milly, not seen you about for a while, is everything okay? :D
    Hello...yes everything's ok. I have been reading everyday, just not joining in I'm afraid! I've not been feeling myself, not got much enthusiasm atthe mo - really tired and needing a kick up the backside!!
    I was so organised for a while - writing lists like you, but right now I can't muster up the enthusiasm:eek: I've spent today lying on the sofa, had nap...not gone out at all! (But at least I had an NSD!!)
    So, must try harder. I feel I'm wasting half term right now, arghhh. We're away at the weekend, just to Pontins with my sis and her girls, sothat should be fun. I worry about the college work that I really should be doing, but my main PC has conked out, with work I need on the hard drive!! I've just ordered a nifty looking adaptor to access the files, hopefully that'll work.

    Anyway, sorry for rambling on....I'll try join in a bit more (especially with the WW posts, Imust stop eating biscuits:mad: and lose a stone)

    :p
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

  • Good morning!
    I've just put the laptop on while still in bed and seen your lovely list! It's given me a bit of inspiration and i'm about to get up and get busy. May even post my list on my diary....!!!
    Have a good day - sun is shining here, there's even some frost in the garden.
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Morning Milly :D I've been running round like a mad thing since I posted the list and have done loads, but the only thing I can cross off the list is putting the xmas shopping away :rolleyes: I have also put the washing machine and dishwasher on, made both beds, tidied both bedrooms and the bathroom, and half tidied the lounge and kitchen :o I then got sidetracked on here again, but have emptied my inbox (300 odd messages, mainly all needed deleting :rolleyes: ), and got a referral for my next matched betting adventure ;) Okay, time to go again, think I will tackle the piglets next as theres no point cleaning anything till they're sorted :D
