    Had a very productive day, ordered a wack of photos very mse as I only paid postage, so can't complain Had an extra set done for my Aunt for when we went on Orient Express last yr, and a set for dds friend when we took them out half term.

    Sorted out recycling, shredding and rubbish.

    Got 3 letters sorted to post

    Even booked in for the dreaded smear, go Wed, not back only a yr late, then have to have my coil changed, its the mew fangles hormonal one, apparently there meant to last 10yrs, but they want mine changing after 5, (due last Oct), so going end of March, 1st appointment could get.

    Worked out my bank charges with the halifax, apparently I meet the hardship criteria, in 2 yrs they had£1,229 off me, so got to get the letter from here and get that in the post.

    Finished knitting a cardigan for a friends baby, we saw her last week, apparently she was 5lb 10oz, shes a month old and looks so tiny, thats my good dead done.

    Sounds daft but feels like I've done nought, but on the other hand its the fiddly jobs that add up

    Going out for lunch for next with friends mum, shes treating me for taking her for the indian last week. xx

    You have been very productive there and done loads of stuff.
    Good luck with the bank charges as that's a lot of money.
