I'm racing against myself to get done my goals set 6 months ago - next week my time limit is up. Think I've done quite well, will update next week. Trying to decide on my next 6 months goals now:eek:

The stocking parcel arrived and am really pleased with the bits and pieces will definately use that company again. (www.woolgarstoys.co.uk)

Had a productive morning doing jobs and had an hour sorting out garden bits:j now going to batch bake quiches as we've got a free egg glut again.
Then going to garden centre for afternoon tea and cakes with BIL - his treat:j

:hello: Hi RM. I back from Bruges! Had a good time with beer and chocolates. Oh, and frites and waffles!

Well done on your wins! Maybe I'll go check last weeks lottery ticket- maybe I'm a secret millionaire and don't even know it!

Day off today - the plan is firstly the weekly houework blitz and then update my dairy with monthly plans etc.
It's Deadline week this week and I think I've reached most of my aims:jwill check and up date later.
Had a good weekend - earned an extra £50 on a mammouth babysitting session:jthen OH and I went Christmas shopping for all the odds and ends,like batteries, candles, new lights etc.
We went to a garden centre/shopping outlet that is quiet cheap. They had trouble scanning everything and had to do it twice:mad: before leaving, we checked the reciept and everything looked ok. We check the reciept when we get home and they hadn't charged us for the lights £15! Moral dilema time: do we go back 30 mile round trip or do we just accept? No prizes for guessing our response:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Right off to start the housework blitz - more later.

Excellent job Robsmum.

Have you tried your doctor's surgery or any of the many products for help in giving up smoking? It can be done I was a 40+ a day (more at weekends) and did it 18 years ago.
