I resisted the chocolate fountain, can't expect more than that!!
I'm a big fan of lists and being organised but i've been a bit rubbish this week since my Mothers been home and in my way and i've got a mahoosive about of things to get done now so i'm going to post my to-do list here in the hope that someone (Helen, Niall...where are you when I need you
) will kick me up the @rse.

Generally from my big 1 I end up with about 3 more specific lists and then little lists I write before bed with what i'm going to try and get done the next day. I think i'm an addict. It's not the most harmful addiction we could have though!!0

Not really done alot of useful stuff today, still avoiding eBaying. Make yummy-scrumptious cakes though and doing apple crumble and a cherry flapjacks tomorrow as well as feeding the ducks. Had an awesome driving lesson and my instructor now thinks i should be thinking about booking my test, which if i'm honest scares the life out of me! £102 on nothing if i fail! How the hell they can charge £62 for tests is beyond me, i thought £30 for a theory test was steep, although since all that is is sitting in front of a computer for a bit in a room full of people doing the same thing i really cannot understand how their costs are high enough to justify it.
Going to try for an early night even though i have sooo much going through my head atm. I'm exhausted and still havent come close to catching up on my weekends sleep.
Night all
