    Had a great day, got loads done, including a mystery shop, oping £630, picking up freecycle bits and bobs, sold some rings for £13 (can't sell them privately, don't know how) and some other boring jobs done as well.

    Going to relax now, and then pack my bags for my long weekend away!

    Have a great weekend all!!

    Hello All,

    Had a lovely weekend in Dads cottage, it really reminded me of by youth, running around on the North East coast - really spectacular scenery.

    The house is right on the cliff tops with amazing sea views - I immediately phoned my dad and discussed with him that no matter who/when he gets married, we should try to keep this house intact (i.e. not shared between loads of his new wifes random relatives) when she passes away! I am not worried about the other houses and money etc - this one is a one in a million house. He completely agrees and is now talking of a prenup!

    Great cheap self catering holiday, I spent about £50 including food!

    Today I woke up thinking I had loads of appointments and tutorings to do, but infact I don't and am having a nice relaxing day, doing small business work at my own pace.

    Allotment is manic at the moment, so salad for every meal today!

    This week I need to:
    - sell sell sell on ebay
    -Do loads of exercise (will walk to post office today)
    - weed allotment
    - Do loads of small business work
    - finish off 'financial' list
    -clean, tidy and organise house for return to work
    -make op up to £1000 Done OPed another £1000
    - get new tryes done -£265!!

    I'm not really bothered about going back to work, which is a surprise - normally I am dreading it!

    ebay is back on the list as I spent £70 on an item that I didn't really need, but should make my life a lot better. Figured, if I could make about that much by selling loads of things I don't need, then it won't have an impact on my OP anyway.

    Speaking of OP I need to make up my OP to £1000 this week, and I also need 4 new tyres :(.

    Busy, busy, busy! I really need to sort out my veg patch for late growers or get ready for spring instead, wasted soil.

    I'm currently moving everyones rooms about as we are going up to the attic room, dd to our room, ds to dd old room, and moving all my work things to ds old room to make an office as I need to be organised for my new teaching role in September (um next week!) I hate having all my work downstairs so it will be nice that I can shut it away in the evenings/weekends.

    Well done on all the hard work.

    Hi earthy, I'm celebrating at the moment, here's a virtual glass of champers - all my 8 items sold on eb*y :) It's giving me the incentive to get the rest of the clothes that I have pictures already taken on there.....tonight, once I've tidied up, got DD to bed, etc etc...

    Kittikins, had a change of heart, dont want to be doing po trips next week as I'm back at work and want to bike as much as possible, so will put stuff on ebay on the weekend.

    Evab that is a lot of sorting! Wish I was that motivated! I have done stuff today but was so tired after my long weekend that my to do list tomorrow is exactly the same as today!!! Nevermind!!

    Right, going to put lots of energy into today and get all the rubbish stuff out of the way so I can enjoy a weekend off before back to work on Tuesday!

    Same to do list as yesterday :( but a lot more energy today!

    I also need to object to planning permission, make sure my potatos are ok in their hessian sacks, and pick some blackberries. DONE

    Going to try not to spend loads of time reading mse!
