Can someone kick me into gear please?!

Hi Penguin

Phew!!!....Guineas are very happy (weeek week!)....that their horsey friend is now Ok :T:T

Keep plugging away my dear and don;t worry too much (i.e.don;t whip yourself) if you don't achieve everything you've set out to achieve in a day....see my thread..it's something I'm struggling with atm :rotfl:
a) remember to allow some "me" time to enjoy "just being"...life is not just about ticking things off lists...(says she who is the world worst at having lists and not ticking them off and then feeling very frustrated with herself..:o..)
b) baby steps still counts on occasions if you;re having a "bit of a duvet day"

Hugs Hun...and tremendous congratulations on your achievements....

What you HAVE done (as opposed to what you haven't).....is summat to be reet proud of...so put your feeties up and have a glass of something..after all, it's bank holiday weekend.....and tomorrow is another day

Have replied to your quesrtion about the two boys on my thread.

Much love
Wol2

Thanks Wol, almost finished on working on OH for the pets so will let you know in a few days - the pics could be the final persuader!

Morning all - updating on here to avoid my FlyLady list for another couple of minutes! Have almost finished updating my snowball so will be able to put up a new total in a couple of hours hopefully if I can find the bloody statements that I need!

I am in the middle - actually thats a complete lie - at the beginning of compiling a list for the 101 in 1001 challenge - if anyone hasnt seen its basically 101 things you want to achieve in 1001 days. My day zero is going to be the 01/06/09 with a finish date of 27/02/12 so I have seven things on my list so far - only another 94 to go! Looking at other peoples lists on the site for inspiration. Will post my list up here when it is finished for if anyone is bored enough to read it!

Hope everyone is well, trying to cajole the kids into helping round the house today on the basis that they can help me repot the seedlings later on.

Thats what I forgot to mention - I have grown some plants from seeds for the first ever time, very excited by my new found green fingers!

Be back later x x x x

I love growing things from seed, very satisfying. Good luck with the 101 in 1001 challenge.x

It was so exciting BOB when I saw the little shoots appearing - OH came running out wondering what I was shrieking about!

Now have 54 things on my list over halfway there! x

Evening all - Friday at long last!

Ive nearly finished my 101 list, it was really hard to do though. I have left about 20 blank as I do have things to fill them but they are things that are going to need money and becoming debt free is going to remain first and foremost - I will add the others on if they become possible or if I think of some more that arent going to be a huge financial commitment. Ive just got to sort them all into catergories and then figure out how to get them on the site and then I'll put up a linky for them.

No debtbusting news but everything is up to date. I am about 2k off being in the 20's so that is my next target - should take about 3months max but we will see.

Got my latest assignment back - 70% which I am pleased with.

Hope everyone is well, taking DD to her school fair tomorrow but nothing planned for the weekend apart from that.

See you all soon xx xx

Hope you are enjoying today and the weather is good.

Congrats on the 70% thats absolutely brilliant, and the debtbusting ur keeping on top of it, think thats the main aspect xx

Thanks for the well dones! Was pleased with the mark too and it was a slight improvement on the one before that, the next one is due in just under 2 weeks so will be working on that next week, it seems pretty heavy going at the moment!

Went to the fair today, DS couldnt cope with the people and the noise and went and hid in a bush after 5 minutes so OH took him home but DD loved it. Dad popped round this morning to give me £20 for it which was really really nice of him.

Vets bill came for the mini drama last month which was just under £200 so some careful budgetting needed next month to pay for that.

My personal debt (ie in my name) now stands at roughly 14k down from 25k when I started which is really motivating me now - OH's is about 17k which he cant believe neither, will have to get some proper figures worked out.

Off to read the FlyLady thread and shame myself into doing some housework! Hope everyone is well x x

Afternoon all, hope everyone is ok. Not much exciting to report this week, our month starts on Tueday coming so this has been our skint week!

Off to see Girls Aloud on Tues night with some girls from work, tickets were a present from OH and I am getting weighed the next day so wont be drinking so will be a very MS evening!

Need to give the house a good going over today as I have hardly done anything this week in it, have been too knackered after work to even think of doing anything, must get myself motivated in the week to make things easier of a weekend.

Had a meeting with parent partnership on Friday to help us go over the parental statement so need to fill that in this week and also have an assignment due in on Friday so will be working on that during my lunchtimes at work and once the kids are in bed in the week.

Will post some updated debt figures on Weds once Ive made the big payments on Tuesday.

Off to find some energy from somewhere to get some housework done, see you all soon x x
