I have more than enough for my needs BUT I really WANT a landrover

MrsMoo2U

Well, I have had a bit of a relaxing day today. Deliberately not done anything with regards to decluttering. Waking up at 4am thinking about what I could do next made me realise that I was getting a bit obsessed so I put things back into balance today.

I got £23 back from work for my eyetest that I had a couple of weeks ago because I need glasses for the computer so quite happy about that. However I still havent had my expenses from 3 weeks ago and it is quite a lot of money so I must chase that up on Monday.

Max went to the vets and got the all clear. He is ok after his scuffle but I did have to pay for his boosters so that cancelled out my refund. But at least I was money neutral there.

Fence posts have arrived, cant wait to get some privacy, get the shed up and then I can start renovating all of my furniture projects. Cant wait.

Spent a very relaxing and therapeutic afternoon in the kitchen cooking and baking so I felt very happy. OH arrived home for the weekend and this is the last time we will spend together for a month so I expect I wont be around much over the weekend. He is currently snoring away on the sofa next to me. Bless, he does a lot of driving and is exhausted.

All in all this has been a very productive week. It will definitely slow down next week as I am working away. My friend is coming through to Anglesey to spend some time with me and then coming back home with me for a few days. It will be great to see her as I havent seen her for over a year. Pity I have to work and she will have to amuse herself during the day.

So I want to end the week on this
What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination.

I still have a way to go to my destination. But I am starting to enjoy the trip, thanks to all of you lovely people who are supporting me. Thank you.

Give her a To Do List to work through....:rotfl:

Considering you were having a relaxing day today you certainly got a lot done!

Enjoy your weekend.

Wow, everyone sure has been busy. I'll have a proper read over the weekend and post afterwards.

I can feel lots of positivity here... :j

Good idea, and she is just the kind of friend who is only too happy to amuse herself and she would be thrilled if I asked her to do anything. I am really looking forward to some girly time.

I find baking and cooking very relaxing and therapeutic so I never see that as a chore. But yes I did get more done than I anticipated. That said I really have relaxed this weekend. Hence no TADA list yesterday

Hi Micron,

yes busy bees would sum us all up. I know that I am a little competitive but not in a sense of competing with other people, more I like to compete with myself, so my TADA lists spur me on to try to do more the following day. I did however realise that it was getting out of hand the other morning so I have slowed down this weekend.

I like those two most.

I must delve deeper into the Dalai Lama.

I hope your pondering brings everything you want, and some

Yes, they are my two favourite quotes. I would recommend reading some of his books. He also has a facebook page if you are on there. I like getting his messages.
