Sorry - forgot to report back! My sister has a beautiful baby boy, i've been through and seen him and he's sooooo lovely I've also talked to my dad about the ADD thing and he was OK about it and happy to do a history for my doctor (when I finally get seen lol) so that's a massive weight off my mind. Anyway just popping in to say hi really, hugs all xx xx

Welcome back Nixi - I've missed you.

Hi Jo, hows you? is the job going ok still?

This morning I remembered when we used to have mini challenges and tasks and targets, and even words which inspired us; and I realised I have been missing them, and have descended into chaos and currently feel like I am a hamster on a wheel just going round and around without really achieving anything. So I need to get back on track with everything - including this challenge, so here I am, and I am inviting you to join me in my new mini challenge!!

My mini challenge for this week is to get focused and back into the challenge and to do it I am giving myself a word of the week to work to - the word I have chosen is RESOURCEFUL ! (You can join me with mine or choose your own - whatever suits you best!) Why have I chosen RESOURCEFUL? By only 10am this morning I had created a list of things I wanted to spend money on.....then realised I don't actually have any money spare so I am going to be RESOURCEFUL and come up with creative solutions so I don't need to spend money. I then realised that I can also be RESOURCEFUL in finding more ways to make money. I already have more PR work which helps, and I know of things I can sell on ebay - so I am going to see what else I can find to sell, and how resourceful I can be at saving money - I want to get back to basics - so meal planning, which means being resourceful with what I already have in the cupboard!

So am I on my own, or you going to join me with this last push to get up our totals for the year??? Honestly I am not really expecting too much but every little helps , and if gets me focused and organised then I can hit next years challenge running !!

Right - off to find ways to be RESOURCEFUL!! ttfn xx

Hey Nixi, Love that idea my word will be:
COMPLETE

This weekend I found a bundle of half finished or unfinished projects that I have had bubbling over - some of the projects ideas were toddler size and had been kicking around for TWO YEARS!!!! eek. So, my watch word will be to complete everything that I do and to make sure that I don't have stuff hanging over me.
I also want to complete my commitments list - I will make a to do list and cross it off as I go.

Nixi great stuff about the PR and your site is on my COMPLETE list too!

Yay Dilli - thats a good word I like it!!! I might have to borrow that for another week lol! xx

wow - I knew the dribblers were quiet; we used to generate dozens of pages in one evening now we are less than a page a week I'm feeling sad, like this is the end of an era

Hey Nixi,
it is very quiet. It may be the end of an era or just a prolonged lull. I don't know. I like your mini challenge though and am working out what my word would be. I am thinking it will be BEGIN as I am really procrastinating a lot at the moment.
The job is going well but I am feeling lousy at the moment with a cold that keeps coming and going an just a real weak/ poorly/ jelly feeling in my legs and arms. So I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all I have to do - not particularly work though..
Jo

Hugs Jo, glad job is going well but not so good that you aren't feeling well. Are you doing too much? I was a bit like that at the beginning of this year and I took a tonic for a few days...it really helped, at least I think it did because within a few days I was feeling much better and managed to shift the bugs. Maybe worth a try? I just asked at my local pharmacy and tried the one they recommended. Hugs again hun, look after yourself. xx
