    Hi All,
    Like Buffy I went out last night, with a guy i met through a dating site, and believe it or not i thought he was alright, and it was a good evening and am talking to him on msn now, i've just got this feeling i'm going to jinx it real soon, so i'm trying to keep it low key.

    Hope everyone enjoys at least 1 chocolate egg despite the diets.

    Fingers crossed for you :D

    :rotfl:Thought it was just me who worried about that:D Not declaring today as half good/half bad but I have been doing lots of exercise due to sorting out room. :rolleyes:

    I don't know if everyone has been doing lots of exciting things today but i certainly have not, have got one full bag for charity shop and started another, am surrounded by towers of books, am amazed at how many I have which I haven't read, probably around 50:confused:

    I don't feel I have got very far re decluttering, certainly no sense of achievement yet, but I only have low bookcases and a big box, I think that the purchase of a couple of huge bookcases and a coffee table to fill box gap (using quidco money) may save the day.

    A relaxing now with a glass (or two) of wine, last night I went to bed at 7pm and woke up at 12pm the next day, slept for 17 hours :eek:so shouldn't need to rest but am stressed and tired.

    I haven't done anything exciting either - but I did do everything on my 'to do' list today so I am pretty chuffed with myself :j

    I am going to really try tomorrow so I can enjoy the afternoon with the family.

    I aim to have a clear desk and my marking organised. I will do this!

    You could maybe try potsing on the "get it done" thread if you have a big list, it really does keep me motivated, especially re housework type things, I love ticking things off and it is really useful for reminding me of things I have to get done over the week, even half of the things done is an achievement for me.

    I have been posting my list on my thread for the last couple of days - and just having to go back and 'fess' up if I miss anything has kept me going so far! Am in a really positive, motivated frame of mind a the moment so I am trying to make the most of it :rolleyes:
