  • Thank you - you've been busy too!!! All the food is safely tucked into the fridge/freezer - I meant to bake a cake later tonight (inspired by SM) but I got sucked into MSE and trying to follow a couple threads!

    Paid some more to the evil one - :) night night dudette

    I'd not make a list for next week and just get the stuff done that is doing your head in as that will make you feel more motivated.

    Hi

    I've been so busy that I haven't had much chance to post recently.

    I have had some good news - I was recently contacted and asked if an adverstising company could use one of my Doo Yoo reviews. I asked if there was anything in it for me and received a giftcard with £50 on it! I am really pleased with that as I can use it to buy some new clothes before I start work.

    Taxi - I did try to not have a list but I seem to function on lists!

    Last week my list was:
    1. [STRIKE]Call tax office [/STRIKE]and send off form
    2. [STRIKE]Call organisation to find out membership cost and send off cheque (saving of £50 on normal membership)[/STRIKE]
    3. Wedding job 1
    4. [STRIKE]Exercise X4[/STRIKE]
    5. Choose fabric for baby blanket for best friend's baby
    6. Keep tidying bedroom
    7. Book man for gas safety certificate
    8. List 5 things on ebay
    9. Make calls for volunteer job
    10. [STRIKE]Contact someone for information [/STRIKE]
    Still a bit to do but I am getting there. I will post next week's tasks in the next post or I'll get confused.

    I've finally submitted the tax form - 2.5 months later than planned but a number of months sooner than it was due!!!!

    Hi

    It's been a mixed week this week. The list was pretty much neglected. It's been my last full week at my current job and I have really needed to focus on that.

    I have a number of projects that I really need to finish at work. I have been suggesting that I am further along than I am but I am hoping that they will be finished this week. I just never seem to have time to do the things that I need at work. I am using the flylady principle of a little bit a time - it will get done this week.

    On to more positive things - I did have some good news - some of you will remember I was finished a course in June - I passed!!!:j I was really pleased to hear that but it has only taken me until today to really process it.

    I also closed off another two projects for my voluntary job this week. Today went really well.

    I really need to get myself focused. I seem to be juggling so many balls at the moment:
    • wedding plannning
    • weight loss (it's been a bit stagnant)
    • money saving
    • flylady/decluttering
    • keeping up with work
    I will go off to think about my week's goals.

    Waving to all of you.
