    Oh wow, I'm up and online early for once!!

    Still tired though and have done something to my shoulder so its in agony!!

    Must find some way to get some cash lol. Not done much for a while.

    Also, must make an appointment for the docs, was looking into PND after my little outburst and realised its been going on sonce before the munchkin was born. Been a bit self destructive for years, hmmm how to explain that to the [STRIKE]Nazis[/STRIKE] doctors at my surgery.
    I need to get some cash too, what shall we do? :) was thinking about swapping gas/electric maybe, going to go through the front page of MSE and see what basic stuff I can do. Also think should maybe do some DooYooing seeing as I haven't done any for ages...because it's boring...need to knuckle down I think!
    Nikki can you change your doctor maybe? Don't worry too much about telling them about being self-destructive, they'll probably refer you to counselling, which could take a while, but one thing you might want to ask about is cognitive therapy as it's meant to be more positive and effective than ust talking about stuff. Hope it goes OK.
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Morning All!
    Hugs to all this morning xxx
    Seems like it was a rough night for some so I am wishing you all a happy Thursday.

    Saucy – hope you are having a better day, Joprah/Jo and everyone else have given great words of wisdom I am just here to give some hugs

    Thanks for the flower garden Toots, I enjoyed that!

    MoneyM - where is the new range – I wanna see, and don’t be embarrassed abou deal or no deal. If your dad hits the jackpot you will complete this 10K challenge in not time missy : - )

    Cagne – Final find a penny blog??? How come? Also to get some money out of it you just need to add a little addsense to it and hopefully with enough of a following you can get blog sponsors. There are a few bloggers I know who take about £1K per month from sponsorship… give it a bit more time is all that I am saying xxx

    As for me, I wasn’t around last night as I was asleep at 9pm. I slept like a baby and drooled like one too : -). Managed to give my self an award winning paper cut this morning. F-me it bleeding hurt, you forget the damage a little bit of paper can do.
    The exam – pffft… well as I went to sleep instead of revising I have 100 pages of revision to go over today. So, if I make a disappearance again you know why.
    I will swing by a bit later on.

    But, take care of yourselves today xxx

    Inspiration bitty – I went to the Library yesterday a.k.a waterstones and read an interesting book called the winner’s bible, I found it a really good read it is all about programming your mind for success. Linky love here

    Good luck with the revision dilli! and hope the paper cut heals-they hurt so much!
    If you go to my website ,right hand side you'll see black rose collection. Onlt a few things for now,made another pendant last night so that might be going on later and still need to write descriptions
  • Right, OH has definately gone out the pier heads today, so I am going to get myself organised, have my big delivery arriving tomorrow so need to clear some room!

    Saucy - hope you are feeling a bit better today x

    Nikki - telling domeone for the first time is the hardest part, you could call your health visitor if it is easier to talk to her nd she will arrange it all without the need for a doctor, mine did, I had a lady come to my house to see me once a week to talk through things, helped a bit, not allowed meds cos I am breast feeding, so its the best I can get.

    Joey - jealous much!

    Wayne - seen something whilst browsing so PMing you now

    Dilli - ouch! Good luck today xxx

    Moneymabel, I'm actually having to sit on my hands right now not to buy some jewellery for concerts from your site. Needless to say, it's bookmarked, and I will be buying.

    Unfortunately, my laptop is raising two fingers by way of three or four blue screens of death a day now, and I have to spend my cash so far on a new machine. Never mind - had I not been doing the challenge, I wouldn't have the money :)

    And possibly, I may be a student again in the autumn...:eek:
    Stage one - declutter
    Stage two - sell the clutter
    Stage three - turn the money into more money
    Stage four - pat self on back

    Morning hugs to those that need them.
    DS is now being sick, DH feeling poorly, taken Dd to docs about rash - just a non specific viral rash and apparently this sort of bug is doing the rounds and instead of the normal 24-48 hours is lasting 1 - 2 weeks or longer!
    At least we know whats going on.
    Just waiting to find out when someones coming out to the boiler as we have no heating or hot water - JOY!
    But hey its sunny and Dh is at home to take some of the strain.
    Love the new blog cagne. Hows your DD and her rash.
    Good luck with revision Dilli.
    Nikki our local ymca offer free counselling which is apparently very good and is free with not a long waiting time and you can self refer.
    Paula I'm going to have a look at joeys link but you seem to be getting some great ideas hope you get a restful day thats better than yesterday.
    Saucy lots and lots of hugs coming your way.
    Off for a brew now.
    Jo x
