Still have a bad back but codine is doing wonders for it, anyway I've practiced more crochet it's so relaxing just what I need, dd has requested a blanket for her doll - I shall keep practicing, I need to go and buy some better wool as what I got came with a hook (starter pack) and it's not that good, I think I may change some of my list ... no I will leave it alone.

I've done some light cleaning today, and got 4 flylady stars this week, oh brother has just got himself a flat so I've been having a rumage to see what we can help him with.

Taking little ones swimming tomorrow. Really need to get routine back, going to update it on the computer this weekend to start next week, dd has got her first homework today, so it's a good time start again, we did have one, but with the hols it went out the window, well hope everyone has a good weekend

Hi everyone

Tonight, I am going to start looking through the Xmas presents I have stored away, right them down and hopefully wrap them up. They are mainly for my niece.

I have figured out that I can get at least £100 worth of Amazon vouchers before the end of November. I am going to do this by getting £5 a week from BP (doing forums mainly) making this £50.

I am also going to get £50 worth from Dooyoo. I've already got 10,000 miles and so need to do 80 reviews to get to the 50,000 to make £50. 2 a day for 40 days will ensure that I can redeem them before the end of October.

I haven't been able to pay anything off my debts yet as just paid the rent so quite skint at the moment. My big clean up starts on Monday when I am off work .

6. Overcome ebayandcarbootaphobia and sell what is too good to throw out. Aim for £100
7. Get papercraft stash out and make family christmas cards and any upcoming birthday cards. Get scrapping! Do not buy more stash :rolleyes:
8. Walk 30 minutes a day as first step to getting more active

3 Learn how to use e-bay and sell some unwanted items
4 Join 'flylady' thread and keep on top of the housework (lurked for a few weeks)
5 De-clutter spare room (can only open the door - can't actually get in there!)
6 Buy no new clothes (see 5 - that's part of the problem in there)
7 Make do and mend - do one sewing task a day, even if it's sewing on a button!
8 One walk a day for 5 days a week (or use x-trainer)
9 Organise paperwork
10 Complete arm exercises 5 days a week - banish the bingo wings!
11 Complete tummy exercises 5 days a week - banish the wobbles!
