    Just had an email for Nectar points if you are using Fitbug - I know some of you are/where - only 22 mails left in my mail box - I've been decluttering them on and off all day
    Ooh... where??? I have no idea where my nectar emails go... probably to a dead account...

    You're going to probably cry, but there actually isn't a sewing badge anymore!!!! There is hobbies I guess which you could include it in??

    However, just to make you jump for joy, there is one called Home Skills which involves cleaning, making beds, learning how to launder clothes, lay a table, make a recycling game.

    Anyway, my DARLING girls tonight raised £250 for Haiti :j:j:j, all out of performances they'd worked out themselves in the space of a week. I am so chuffed with them. They decided to send the money via. Save The Children as they were sure they wanted it to go specifically to children.

    Piggy, sorry for the news of DD1. You're right, 17 is no age to be saying goodbye to a friend.

    I've signed the Smear campaign, and am booked in for Monday. Thanks to everyone for the reminder x

    Dentist appointment also booked. If all is well, I'm gonna cancel the dental insurance, as haven't claimed off of it in about 7 years, and it costs about £400 a year :eek:

    No flying today as Thursdays always gonna be my day off due to after work club(s)!, however, night off tomorrow too as I'm going to see a show.

    Night all x

    I really need to think about bed. I was staying up to collect DH from the station but he could be getting a taxi!

    Thanks xx_Jo_xx, but the sooner I get the wardrobes finished the better as currently living off floordrobe & the remainder of my stuff is still in my old wardrobe which is now DS room, so not ideal, especially as he only has one shelf in my old wardrobe plus a small set of drawers. Oh well, will get there in the end!
