    hello and welcome to my diary...fancy a virtual biscuit? ...
    what type of business do you fancy starting? what skills do you have?

    the list is what has to happen if i am to reach my ultimate goal and this way if i keep an eye on it it i will notice it more...i have achieved alot this year but i actually cant remember everything i achieved and that is bad so hopefully this way i will remember by the end of next year what it is i have achieved

    thanks taxi ...it certainly is ...i was dreading having to get rid of the mattress if i couldnt sleep but i seem to be ok with it now ...

    well i went to the shops today to get some stuff for my face it is so undernourished (so i was told by the girl on the chanel counter lol) well to me it feels very dry i think the weather the fact i work outside then come into a centrally heated house doesnt help ....got some stuff and found out the stuff i was using is for oily skin so i have probably been putting some alcohol on my face duh ...anyway while i was getting the stuff the woman says to me " treating yourself are you" i dont get it how is buying a product that you need to keep your face from hurting treating yourself? i turned to her and said "how on earth is buying this one cleanser and oil to replenish my face treating myself" she looked kinda shocked so i finished with " honey i have no need to feel like i am treating myself i work hard and if i choose to buy a product that i need for my face i will... i dont need to be made to feel guilty or oooo look at me i am treating myself about it" she kinda shuffled away at this point ...maybe i dont get it it's like when you go to the hairdressers and they say" oh are you going out tonight ?" eh no i just want my hair cut ...i must live in a paralell(sp) world i really must

    I really need to find my login details for my bingo accounts, they need the username not the email so I can't get into them!

    Glad the lamp is making a difference for you
