    Nixi - no money can make up for being made to feel that bad,

    think we need something to kick us up the behind and get the motivation really going again - both with the thread and the money making, havent heard from Paula, Munchki, NLID or Crafty for a while, hope they are Ok and too busy money making.

    so what are you all going to do this weekend to get motivated again?

    I am going to go to Primark on sunday after all and will spend £20 - too easy to sit on my @rse! and list 10 things on ebay and phone about the farmers market tomorrow in the hope i will get hold of someone. then will list another "to do" on Sunday for doing by Wednesday.

    well instead of spending nearly £100 on fence posts we got them for £17 so thats a good saving. have done 11 1/2 extra hours at cafe this week. Dh going to list some stuff on ebay tomorrow and if weather ok will carboot on sunday.
    I aim to write one blogpost on my blog by Sunday and to work on my one for Nixi.
    I need to do some reading up for my new job and aim to do that on Sunday.

    think you might be right about the new thread,think it also gees us up. this one seems to have been going for ever, it's usually Amber that kicks it off with Hales doing the next post i think.

    geeee what a saving Jo. Love your list, you are certainly going to be busy think its easier when you list - i do a daily list at 6 every morning of things that need done that day and it makes me get moving (well most days) have even seen me doing a timetable then batter on to try and get it done before its due ( okay i know i'm sad to go to those lengths)

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    Hello :-) welcome to Kerri! Sorry i've been MIA-no excuses just havnet had anyhting to dribble about lol. def think youve done the right thing about the wedding fair..I've only done one..it was crap and it only cost me £50..I'd have been livid if I'd spent nearly £400. Like Nixi said perhaps a comp with your local paper might be an idea?
