    thanks Denise!!

    I had better explain - I have made a list of jobs that need doing and things that are annoying me that I have started and not finished - as I tend to pick the jobs that I want to do I decided that I would ask you all to pick the job and I am not allowed to start anything else until I tell the thread it is finished - some will take minutes/hours/days - but are all things I can do myself - there are loads of DIY jobs that need doing but I cant manage them.

    so my next job 21 - is to write up this year's diary X 2 (home and handbag)

    this is instead of my 1-a-day list that I wasnt acheiving and I hope will stop me feeling overwhelmed as i will be doing the flying and an extra job as well. What do you think??
    toots xx

    ETA some jobs will get done as time goes on anyway but at least this way I might acheive more - some are fun and some are NOT!
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

  • Hi Toots... 21... :confused:

    If you look along the top of the forum, you will see the blue bar, 3rd one along is 'User CP'.
    Click on that and it say's 'Edit Avatar' in the left hand column
    It tells you what to do then, you can enter an image from your computer (see the bottom option - click 'browse' to find the location there) or you can find a picture on the web that you like - a good place to look is google images - http://images.google.co.uk/imghp?hl=en&gbv=2 - type whatever you want to find in the search bar once you are there and you should find something suitable... ie: yellow daffodils...:D

    Hope that helps x

    Hi all, beginning to feel really worn out with the pain, it's not easing up enough and I've only got a day's worth of antibiotics to go and surely I should feel better now.

    Feel raw and emotional too like you rose and summermoon, just fed up, been very tearful again today. That brave face I keep trying to put on won't stay put.

    Re Empire Direct the administrators apparently will try to contact customers who've paid and not yet recieved their orders. I ordered 9 days ago so finger's crossed I'll be in the list of people.

    Going to have to go back to the dentist tomorrow and get checked out again, don't want to but OH on at me because he reckons I should be feeling a lot better by now and he should know given his latest dental escapades.

    Flying wise not been able to do much, but at least we achieved quite a bit over the weekend.

    Dragged a sack of coal in house, emptied it in bucket and got the fire going thats about it.

    Soappie so sorry to hear the news re your job.

    Johanne hoping your OH gets the promotion.

    Toots well done on your list, your doing well.

    AnwsMum looking for daffodils, got nowt yellow to wear, did think of writing all my posts in yellow font but reckon you'd all strain your eyes because it looks like this.:rotfl:

    Everyone else, ta for being here and being a lovely community, on days like these it's really nice to know folks are around.:wave:
