    Is it hot? What are you going to do first?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    My spreadsheet is lovely, I've no idea how to make one though - that's DH's forte....I just tell him I want it to do this and that and then roll it all up into another and then spread itself out over here there and everywhere and he makes it do it.

    Welcome back DD :j

    Well done on the veg seeds Linda, they'll shoot up in no time.

    I'm going to sow some more peas today - I've got tons of them so going to do a big window box full that I can just pick as pea shoots for salads.

    It was gorgeous yesterday, about 78 and not a cloud in the sky, supposed to be nice according to the 5 day forfecast.

    We wont do much today, shop, swim etc. to try and get over jet lag...and DD still isnt right. Bought some serious kids medicine for her yesterday 'cold and flu' stuff and it seems to be doing the trick!

    Good luck on trying to find a decent cup of tea over there! Doesn't happen I'm afraid.

    I have a bit of a question, although I don't think it deserves a full thread. I'm in debt but getting there paying it off, albeit slowly. I've been earning money on dooyoo and I can collect amazon vouchers just now should I wish.
    The question is do I do that and save them up for Christmas time to take the sting out of it, or wait til I can cash out to a cheque? We're not in an impossible situation, this is just helping to earn some extra cash, we have no savings

    Hi mazza,
    I'd be tempted to save them with the intention of using them at Christmas, it's god to have something aside because you never know if something unexpected will crop up during the year and you need the vouchers.

    Thanks Linda :) I think that's what I'll do. I've only been on since 18/03 and have enough for £25 already so I'm thinking if I can make that every month then Christmas is paid for without having to try and squeeze it into a budget lol.
