Morning all!!
Sophiesmum 4kg of banana's? Thats a very big smoothie! :eek:
Oliveoyl - know what you mean about the surveys. They are certainly one thing I wouldn't carry on with!
Definately feeling a bit chirpier than I was. So today I have been quote productive already!!
Here's todays list:
* Did Lightspeed survey
* Listed three things on ebay (then promptly spent £5 on feathers, tissue paper and straws for little one to do his crafty things with!!)
* Storecupboard Tea
* Checked on-line banking :eek:
* NSD hopefully
* Charge mobile at work
* Still trying to work out nursery hours for little one for Jan - seems his free 12 1/2 hours don't actually cover ANY of the time I send him to nursery :mad: Which means my poor parents are still going to pay for him to go (they say they don't mind but I'm not happy about it). Good thing is he can go i the mornings a couple of times and I will have a few hours to myself
Other than that not sure yet what I'll get done. Going to investigate other ways of upping my income by working from home.
Its FRIDAY!! yippee!!!!
