    10 things a day during the week and 25 things on a weekend-day........that would be an excellent way of doing it!

    I did do a little yesterday, just not as much as I had originally intended, but that is a good way to take it forward - thank you!!

    Good morning! Have just managed to pick up a m/s for a family Sunday lunch out today :D It will be a struggle, obviously, for me to re-arrange my de-cluttering day in order to have lunch out, but needs must :rolleyes:


    As always an inspiration and example to us all !! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Have a fab lunch

    I have a mental image of Bob running around frantically cleaning with the annoying Benny Hill music playing in the background.

    I like the 10 things a day idea, I think I may use that myself.

    Enjoy your lunch out, sounds a nice MS.

    DS has finished skiing for today so just having a quick coffee while he grabs a shower before we head out for the m/s lunch. While he was skiing, I made reasonable use of my time there by writing one of the download articles I need to do, and sending that off, and I got myself booked in to do "reflexology taster sessions" at a ladies' night in a couple of weeks - won't make me rich but might get me a couple of new clients.

    I also arranged with one of the other ski mums to bring our running kit next week and we will go for a run while the kids are skiing..........hopefully it will act as an incentive to get me moving, during otherwise "potentially wasted" time!

    Lunch was not quite free - we went slightly over our budget but it was still pretty good value, considering we were FORCED to have a 3 course meal each! So I am now stuffed! I do love getting these mystery shops because we get to go out when normally we would NEVER go out for dinner or lunch, but it sure aint doing my waistline any favours :o

    Surfbabe, ooh a *big* birthday! I want to be debt free by my next biggie - it is one of my motivating factors! Happy baking!!

    Right, need to input my m/s and try and do something productive!
