    Wow I have had a productive day. I am so much more active when the sun is shining.

    I have done three loads of washing including the bits I bought at this mornings car boot sale and they have all either been dried on the line outside or are in the process of drying.

    I have taken a load of photographs of some stock so I have some bits to list tonight.

    DD is a little tired after this morning exploits so she is currently laying on my bed watching a little bit of TV so I have the luxury of watching grown up TV whilst doing my Ebay.

    Had my inlaws pop round to see me and my DD which was nice so a quick coffee and a natter and have been invited round my parents for dinner later. So all in all a nice cheap day has been had.

    I have next week off work so I am going to write myself a list each day of jobs to do. Want to make the most of my week off but also have lots of fun with DD. She should go to her dads for a couple of days so will make those more focused on debt busting and house sorting.

    You sound as though you have had a good day so far - I hope it continues!

    I, on the other hand, have done nothing since lunchtime except watching a box set of DVDs that I was bought for Christmas several years ago and have never got around to watching.

    It is very MSE though, because once I have watched them, I can decide whether to put them on Amazon :rotfl:

    Hypno sometimes we all need to do that. I must admit, like you I would imagine, I find it hard to just sit down and do something like that as I always feel like I should be "doing" something.

    It's actually something I have discussed with a few friends lately, the need to have some "me" time as all I ever worry about is DD.:o

    Glad to see Doodle's back with a cunning plan - it seems that you're always at your best when facing adversity - surely the best possible trait for a mother?

    I think that is a pretty good summary of me Ed.

    When things are easy I am so laid back I'm horizontal and when things go t*ts up I come out fighting :D
