    - online banking check
    - clicks & scratchies
    - washing on line
    - free exercise - 45 mins out cycling (came back melting but was worth it)

    Still to do:

    - Tea (with some whoopsied goodies picked up from Mr T earlier :T)
    - Plant out sunflower seedlings that are climbing out of their trays
    - watering when the sun goes off the garden
    - keep an eye on ebay

    Yep he is Ok thanks.
    It was just because he got too warm but we were more worried as OH is Epileptic. Its so hard keeping him cool though as even yesterday when he had it he was only wearing his nappy and was inside in the shade with all the windows open.

    Just take it a day at a time and try to make a start, no matter how small it may seem at the time. Even not letting things get any worse is a positive step.

    Good luck with the ebaying :D
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    Hi Chick

    You're not moaning. You are taking small steps. Look at the ones you have taken today - clicks and ebaying.

    Re: the credit cards - can you send a token payment of £1 to show you are willing to pay the cards back but just need some time?

    Pipsmum - glad to hear Pip is ok.
    Milly = glad to hear the tests went ok
    Babyhead - sorry to hear about OH's friend.

    Waving to you all and off to do tasks like a mad one! Bit of a slow evening.
