    - [STRIKE]Ironing[/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]Tidy room[/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]Make a list of things to be reviewed[/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]Make spreadsheet to track which reviews have been posted where[/STRIKE] - I did this then my computer lost it when I tried to save it :rolleyes:
    - Clear out boxes on top of wardrobe (last item on my declutter list)
    - Make birthday card[STRIKE]
    - [/STRIKE][STRIKE]Look at Music Magpie[/STRIKE] - The CDs I don't want are worth £22.38 apparently, need to print off the bits at work tomorrow and check all the cases are OK
    - Mood board and sewing folder- no but I did move some of my sewing stuff about and look at it

    Hmm, maybe not so mini...

    And I'm pretty much done in for the night...

    Oh yuk, back to work and feel as though I've never been away, and as soon as I got up this morning that horrible panicky feeling of having way too much to do and not enough time sort of consumed me and ruined all the relaxed Christmas-ness.

    Got caught in mega traffic and missed my dentist appointment, but luckily the person after me had cancelled so they squeezed me in, and nothing needed doing so *only* £16.50 there.

    I'm going to make a quick list, then get off the internet and start some work and I think then I'll feel a bit better about things!

    - Make spreadsheet to track which reviews have been posted where
    - Finish list of things to be reviewed
    - Food Focus (I'm hungry already!)
    - 1 Dooyoo
    - 2 Dooyoo
    - 1 BJ
    - Copy 1 to Ciao if possible
    - Look at BB and decide what to do with it
    - Find out what to do with Music Magpie
    - Look into Great North Run
    - Look at sorting out piggybank account

    After work:
    - Buy cat food
    - Change litter
    - Tomorrow's packed lunch
    - Make birthday card
    - Sewing folder

    I will no doubt add to this. Also, wieghed myself this morning, Monday will be my weigh in day, and I'm 10-4 so have managed to STS over Christmas after all. So only have to lose 12lbs in 6 weeks!

  • Ooh, had an email from BB this morning to say they're resetting the rules back to £20 withdrawal and able to do so every 24 hours again :) So I guess that solves one item on my to do list for today!

    Hi Tete!

    Looks like you have lots to do. Did you like the S&G big thrill box? I love mine. Just got it on Saturday but there are so many things in it. The products will last for ages. Also got lots of S&G stuff in the sale for birthday presents for people during the year. My house resembles a small Boots branch at the moment!

  • I was glad I hadn't paid £50 for it to be honest CMD when I saw that a few of them were trial sizes, but yeah overall I'm pleased, got body lotions coming out of my ears, still have some from last Christmas to use up!

    No, there is no way I would have paid £50 for it but think it is a bargain at £20!

  • I know that's my thought too! There are 10 items in it, one of which I've already reviewed, so hopefully I'll be able to earn about a tenner reviewing the stuff that's in there, making it even more of a bargain!

    LOL!

    I got the 'Gorgeous By Gok' box for Christmas and it is lovely (although there could have been more in it TBH), kind of makes up for the disappointment of not getting the S&G Hatbox! I'll have to get myself back on Dooyoo, which I have been sadly neglecting, and review the products! Did I mention that we'd got OH's Bro's GF a Plane Jane S&G giftset for xmas and I received a chilli grinder in return? Never again will I waste S&G on her!

    CMD, my house looks like Boots has thrown up in it too, when I went shopping with my Mum last week I grabbed loads of giftsets and I got my Mum's discount so they were even cheaper! I fancy working for Boots just for the discount, although I'd probably spend all of my wages there! :rolleyes:

    I just figured out (I'm pretty slow on the uptake you know!) that Music Magpie buys DVDs as well as CDs so my plan for tonight is to pull out all of the DVDs that I want rid of (and there's a lot!) and see how much I'll get for them. I might as well do my CDs whilst I'm at it, it all helps!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
