Morning All –
I have been so off my game catching up with all of you I think it has just been a bit of a crazy week.

Joprah – thanks so much for that link and ironically an hour later I got an email from the guy saying thank you, the thought that they were great and he told everyone in the office about me! Also, glad that you are feeling better too. Bah humbug to migraines.

MoneyM – I have to review your site a bit more, I thought it was simple but it is a grumpy plugin causing all the mayhem so I will go through that this morning/afternoon. (just emailed you anyhoo xxx)

Hales – ***waves*** glad you are okay hon! Glad you are okay.

Mambury - ***waves *** how is you?

Green pixie – well done on making the £20! Nice one

Saucy – hugs – and you aren’t moany, better out than in that’s what I always say.

Em - I will gladly be your personal shopper! I love clothes and shopping – although on my current budget I just shop with my eyes only.

Even – hugs to you too! Sorry about the ebay lady!

Elly – have fun at the SATC hen night – it sounds like fun! I can’t wait to go and see the movie!!!!

NLID – sorry to hear about this debt nastiness, but M&P has given some ace advice. Did you get my email?

Nixi – great news about your holiday and even better about the family part too. Exciting plans for the house too! X

Amber – Hiya longtime! How are you doing hun?

As for me, sniffling and coughing – I am sick of bleeding hayfever. No OH last night so got some bits and pieces done, but then best mate was talking to me at the same time I was working so it was one of those hard ones.

I couldn’t boot her out of the room and she is having problems with her OH, might be calling off her engagement!!!!

This morning and today, got a load of emails to go through need to get Mabel’s site to lie on a couch Freud style and tell me it’s issues, and why it doesn’t like it’s dad – it has issues at the moment. And then continue on with the new range! Got a few more designs worked out – can’t wait to sort them out.

Also, hate meetings and I am trying to dodge one like the plague, me personally I would rather have an email – quick and easy to deal with, and a telephone call at a push. It just seems that a meeting is an excuse to go to starbucks and use the company credit card.

Other than that fine and dandy
big hugs and waves to each and everyone who needs them! (PS Make some dribbler money!!!)

The Owl is cute, it does make me think of that creepy 70's/80's show called 'The Owl Service' does anybody remember it?

Hi Dilli, glad he loved it and great for him spreading the word.
As for the meeting sometimes you expend more energy and negativity in resisting something so strongly than you would in actually just doing it and getting it over with. not saying you should do it just maybe check in with yourself just how much time and energy you are spending on this meeting anyway even though you are not having it.lol

Jo, Lol - too true, I know it is happening next week now. The people that I am meeting with are lovely to be honest. Just about 80% of the time I think that meetings are useless. However, I could be bribed with hot chocolate and a cupcake so let's see what they stretch too x

I've just been getting all the dishes done and put away and I've given my sink it's daily sparkle. That led to me cleaning the rest of the kitchen - I'm actually starting to enjoy this!

I haven't even tried FL on the rest of the house, but have been keeping it up with the kitchen to see how it would go, and I swear, it's such a pleasure! I know, who'd have thought they'd hear me say cleaning the kitchen was a small joy It's little things, like clearing up straight away instead of leaving it till after the meal etc etc. Really weird how a shiny sink can have that sort of impact! When I left this morning, the kitchen was spotless and I know it'll bring a smile to my face when I get home and find it the same way! I'm going to start applying the same theory in the bathroom when I get home from the weekend, give that a few days, then move on to the livingroom and bedrooms where I seriously need to declutter. My flat is small, so in theory it would be simple.... ahem..... !! Keep it up Joey! Anyone who wants to come visit me now, you're more than welcome.....well, provided you stay in the kitchen which is the only room visitor-ready :rotfl:

Love love love the Owls, I spent ages last night watching them, so very very funny, thank you whoever shared that link! (probably Jo, but I've been known to be wrong and I can't remember right now!!)

glad you are enjoying the owls Toots. It was Paula who shared the link originally.
Sounds like you and Joey are both basking in the glow of shiny kitchens. finding pleasure in such things is a great way of getting more pleasure in your life. I haven't mastered it yet though.lol

Morning All...

The weird thing is - its probably the only thing I enjoy cleaning, but its not a quick process... and due to the costs (The claybar and detailing spray costs £20 - and that is for a cheap version of the top kit!:eek:)

I usually have to do it over a couple of days (or I did in november as I ran out of daylight for polishing) and hence if I was to charge just £10 an hour it would still be a very expensive car cleaning.

Now if i could only find the same enthusiasm for cleaning the inside the car..

nolongerindenial

I very rarely clean my car - simply due to a lack of time...

will take some before and after pics for anyone who is interested.
