    Hello everyone , I am finally up :o Had a late night last night as I saw the photobox offer on the grabitt board which expires soon and thought it would make a nice pressie for DD. There are some gaps but thinking of making it a bit scrapbooky. It is her birthday next month and I used piccies of her and her freinds that she had posted on FB .

    Well the sun is shining but its breezy , got the windows open to let in the fresh air. Gonna try and have a productive day today :T

    Today I have / wil :
    • Got dressed - too many PJ days latley :o
    • HC x 1 in machine to go on line the 1 more HC
    • Sort environmental health hazard that is my kitchen :mad:
    • Clean / tidy lounge
    • Sort large pile of clean , dry clothing and iron uniforms
    • Bins out
    • Sort out change in puse - would put it in a pot but at present it goes in a plastic bag till i get organised
    • NSD
    • Competitions
    • Surveys
    • Have a look for pressies needed this month , was sorely tempted by some Vintage Elizabeth Arden powder I saw last night on ebid, I am watching it but think i must resist.
    • List some items to sell
    • look at freebies board
    • Watch for offers on dry cleaning - I have 2 skirts that cannot be laundered no matter how careful it is done.
    Probably lots more to do too , should achieve it if I don't spend all day on here !

    When its Dark look for Stars

    Afternoon all!

    Wow, you're all getting loads of stuff done :) I love this thread, so upbeat and positive and cheery :):)

    (my weekend's not been as productive as planned -had friends round last night and stayed up til 4am... so today's been a bit slow :rotfl: thought I'd check in and have a peek at my list see if there was anything I fancied doing :T

    * [STRIKE]collect rest of birthday wool from wool shop[/STRIKE] have knitting LOADS of cardigan while chatting to friends today :j
    * [STRIKE]Women's Institute for cheap cheery cup of tea[/STRIKE] :)
    * [STRIKE]few hours at community garden[/STRIKE] got absolutely soaked, but did loads and good exercise!
    * check appliances with energy owl
    * list of jobs now needed to reseal round bath - getting longer and longer!
    * get old sealant off bath
    * get compost
    * repot cabbages and chard
    * [STRIKE]ring Heather on LETS scheme[/STRIKE]
    * [STRIKE]finish transcribing work[/STRIKE]
    * [STRIKE]fill in and post timesheet[/STRIKE]
    * finish friend's birthday present
    * cheery blog
    * check up on May's goals!
    * start writing June's goals
    * make decision re writing website
    * [STRIKE]water garden[/STRIKE] poured down so I didn't need to :rotfl:

    An expensive day for me, went to a colleagues wedding reception last night, got a good deal on the room with quidco. I was only drinking water and coke, as I still don't feel well.

    While we were ther we went to Whipsnade which was nice but £55 for two, but a rare enjoyable day with OH, we won't have another weekend together until Sep.

    Daliy cards

    OH is in a mood as I have said that he can't have £500 for a portiait of himself painted by a friend some years ago, as we have spent all of the savings on his new car, a dishwasher and holiday and we still have a loan to pay off! GRRR Some times he doesn't get it :(
