Hello!!


Sorry I haven't been around! Realised I was spending too much time on here and running out of time for everything else....and I have come back from hols with soooo many things in my head that I want to do so can't afford to loose the time!!!

It is great to be home, but had a fantastic time away. Em and Green Pixie we did the Pirate Golf too - kids loved it though they have their own rules which includes the use of hands, feet or clubs to move the golf ball!! We had a couple of fab days on Goodrington beach, we went fossiling at Charmouth ( yes we travelled an hour and half just to go to a beach....madness!!), we visited Brixham and Torquay too - so managed to fit in lots and see lots of places I had never been before. But probably the most important was being reunited with two of my Aunts I haven't seen properly in 17 years (they are my moms sisters it is since my mom left and changed her life!!) - they got to meet my children properly too which was fantastic and hopefully we will all stay in touch. Already have plans to meet again in July when one of cousins is getting married - and will meet one of my other Aunts then too as well....... suddenly I am part of a big family again...very strange!

So now trying to get my self sorted - want to concentrate on turning our house into a home - we have been here for 18months+ but coming home from holiday I realised that it is still very bare and a little unhomely - we haven't out any of our pictures up, and still have decoration to finish so I want to sort that asap. As well as sort out our clutter (hmmm - weren't these my plans in the new year...sounding very familiar!!). get back to ebaYING what we don't need and work on my business (and Mabel's and Dillis and NLIDs!!)..as well as bring up to small children and run the house....hmmmm........my problem is that I want to do everything NOW......and I can't I need to work out a plan.....so yesterdays mini move is a must for me!!

Mambury - hope your DD is on the mend, hugs xx

Skint - I think that is a great idea - all the wedding businesses working together......I don't offer wedding services but I can help you all with PR!!

Evenstar - it will all come together. Sorry to hear about your ebay hassles, hope your DD DGD are ok.

Hi Jo, Munchki, Saucy, 2cats, Ellie, Dilli and everyone else :wave:

Morning everyone.
Hi Nixi - your holiday sounds fab and very emotional too. glad you enjoyed it. You will find a way to do the things you want so long as you don't expect to do it all by the end of the week!!!
wednesdays mini move for May
look at your reverse calendar from yesterday. select 3 things from the starting branches and choose a date and time to do them. be realistic but don't make it a deadline but a specific time to actually do it.
If you didn't do the reverse calendar apply this to 3 other small jobs that don't seem to get done.

End of the week? I want it all done by the end of the day Jo LOL! That is my biggest problem I make my mind up what I want and then I don't want to wait....so your mini moves are perfect for me!! Thank you!! How are you Jo? Are you feeling better now, hows the migraines and sinuses? xx

jo70mo

Hi Nixi the sinuses and migraines seem to have settled down a bit which is great. all feels a bit hectic with my mum here and kids going backwards and forwards all the time. I'm not happy to leave them there long without me there too. so don't seem to be in one place for long at a time. on the other hand its like having our very own day trip within our own garden boundaries which is nice.
just need it to settle down and balance out soon.lol.

Glad you are feeling better Jo - was starting to worry about you as it didn't seem to be clearing up! I am sure that it is still novelty factor with your mom and the kids - everything will settle down soon. You are all having to go through the 'Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing' process - before you know it you will all have settled into your new routines and order!! Has your mom settled in ok? Are you finding it much more work for you? xx

jo70mo

Not more work as such but more disjointed. also tricky finding the balance between knowing my mum won't treat the kids the way that I parent as its not her style and where to put my foot down(in as friendly way as possible) as they are going to be in her company a lot.
will get there like you say but its good and unsettling at the same time.

Hi all I'm back now. Blog still broken-have no idea what i have done! Hopefully Dilli or my other webby person can tell me what I've broken when they pop up. Still at least I've done my blog! Have just bought some cucumber seeds-thought i'd better have a full salad growing in my garden! was 25% off seeds so only cost me 59p.

Going to have some dinner, plant the seeds and then think about the mini-move :-)
