Right my priorities for the coming week are to start to get myself into a better position for doing this challenge. I am too tired and fuzzy headed (although as usual only for my own stuff!)
So
will start to exercise again (gym and trampoline in garden)
start menu plan
take some time to myself every day while DH is off this week
Work out how to incorporate some ideas I have into our daily lives to make life more fun.
work out ways that I can feel like I am doing things for me even when I am doing stuff with the kids. Like nixinixi reading loads to her kids which they love is also research for her book writing. I really believe taking care of me doesn't always have to be separate from being with my children but need to be a bit clearer about this.

I like the idea of doing stuff for yourself that can also be time with the kids, have been trying to do the odd craft but can be difficult depending which aged-child I'm doing it with! My little boy loves the smiley machine by the way ...I tried to do Avon as I thought I could trail the kids round and it would be more exercise, especially with the old Silver Cross 'proper' pram we could fit all three in! - but it was bloody miserable in the rain and there was no money in it. Kids don't seem to mind being dragged round charity shops, so long as the people there are nice and don't mind if they sitt playing with the toys while Mama looks for stuff she can Ebay!

Em, think that is a brilliant idea

Sorry guys wasn't ignoring you. I see what you mean about ebay purchases, maybe leave that one off.

I have done it before though and it worked quite well I did a leaflet swap with some businesses on Twitter and went from there. Every order I had I would put in One of my own with 2 or 3 others. never had any complaints, i did it with ebay puchases over xmas too though and no one said anything negative. All the catalogue companies seem to do it, as I say though just an idea.

Just remembered I have a talk talk router that I never used up stairs off to dig it out and see if it is worth anything. xx

Feel a bit urgh today, have done my Ebay listing, can't buy anything else til I sell some stock. Still waiting for website to be updated.
Have got a bit of motivation but nothing to do with it! Sorry for the moan :-/ Hope everyone else is doing ok- how's the writing going Munchki?

Help! Trying to put the links on in the first page, but it says I have too many characters. Can't understand it as MMTWGR was putting the links on as well as all the other stuff, so it must take much more than the bit I'm trying to put on.

I've knocked the bottom "Ebay links" section off for now till I can work it out, but any help gratefully accepted.

ok basically two of the three done now, just really have the why do I want to work there one left. Going to take a break now and go have a drink and a couple of games of pool, nice surprise that was! Then promise to come home, finish the writing and then the personality profile thingy and then Em, I am all yours for the rest of the night!

Have a few more jobs that I am also going to apply to at some point later today, but they are rather generic so easy peasy they are.

Right off to find some proper clothes and venture out for a little bit, this bloody cold has really knocked me for six but feeling bit better today!

Thanks everyone, very helpful as usual xx
I'm going to start putting something together with Munchki - we'll be back to you if we get stuck! (We're not starting today as she's got work to do and i don't want to be told off for distracting her lol)

When you said it I thought Munchki would be your perfect partner in crime lol! Good luck both!

Hey everyone...
Fibro is really, really bad so far today, but I wanted to check in. OH is catching the train after the rugby and will punch the notebooks then, and I'll post pictures asap, I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting!
Gonna attempt a shower and try to make myself feel better.

Happy V day everyone, and I love our new thread

PS next door still not home, it was a blissfully quiet night, and my ankle is still rather swollen.

Sorry to hear you are having a bad day, what did you do to your ankle? hugs xx


Jo - my extra reading to children hasn't started yet, but hope to do some next week....thank you for commenting on it, it reminded me. Life has got in the way a little as usual!!

You have to write some - save it and then edit it to add more - if that makes sense?!!

hi just wanted to say im keeping up with this thread. im currently unemployed and now stuck as well with stock to sell as ebay have decided to shut me down for no apparent reason (100% positive feedback fees upto date as well) i dont know wether this is allowed but anyone whose interested in very cheap new and used clothing (mens, womens, babies and maternity) can pm me and we can arrange something. im sorry if this isnt allowed but trying to rid of my stock and help out people on here make their targets.

also just a general question for any websited based people i wondered if i was to create a webshop has anyone ever actually made money on their to keep it going?
