Hello!:j

Decided to look again at what challenges I decided to do and update - shown below:

1. Christmas sorted and planned for Oct 2010 - planning all done, and got a detailed list sorted out - just need to buy/order stuff now - hoping to complete by Dec 10th.
2. Make own xmas cards and do some orders for the - doing 20 for someone, and about to start on my own
3. Try and get some extra avon orders, - will send out books to a few people but decided against doing territory due to not knowing area
4. flat declutered and a bit better organised, - bathroom and mould sorted out at weekend, and clothes sorted for winter - taking old stuff to PDSA this week and recycling bin
5. Meals - i - aim for 3 new meals by xmas, thinking of trying out some risotto, curry and byrani recipies to see what i like and what freezes well. - looked thru cookery books and got a few recipies Id like to try out, will need to work out what I need to buy in first!

Not too bad for 15 days into challenge, hope everyone else is doing ok - just need to hope for a productive day off work tomorrow.

Bitsy wondered if you had considered www. folksy .com (UK equivalent of etsy ... and sorry as a new user can't post the actual link) as another option. I haven't sold through there (but have bought!) ... getting your stuff seen in as many places as possible may help get in a few more orders

Thanks fantasia - I like the look of those although I'm also looking for a keesake thingy too.
The parents are Next fans (queueing @ 6am for sales etc) so it might be that not next or a "well-known" name might not be appreciated
But I want soemthing different

Away to show DH site now & see what he thinks

scottishlass - I'll pass on any ideas I get

This may have been sorted but I know someone who makes gorgeous little girls clothes (we are originally Fifers too and she is currently based not a million miles away). As I'm new can't post links but if you are still looking I could PM you details.

Omg I need help just de cluttered the cupboard in the bedroom, got 2 bags for charity shop, next door is going to take for me when they go shopping, then I got 2 bags of rubbish!! and the bedroom looks worse than what it did to begin with lol

got books and games now in boxes, so next door is going to come in later and move the boxes for me, but my back has started to hurt again ;(

I'm hoping after a sit and my dinner that I can do more.

I LOVE Folksy....just feel a wee bit intimadated at some of the truly gorgeous stuff that is sold on there. Some of those sellers are very talented.


Boddy - been thinking of you all morning. Hope you're holding up as well as can be expected xx

That little gem in an earlier post made me think (about getting motivated, what are you waiting for) and I finally phoned the inland Revenue and got my tax code sorted, have been putting this off for a month, yay, go me..........!!!!!!!!!!

Let's hope that they've actually a) got it right and b) physically made the amendments on the system!!

They've tried 4 times to alter mine. All they have to do is add £225 on to my (standard) personal allowance for professional subs..!! The latest effort was 725l

Typical case of GIGO I think (garbage in, garbage out!)

My Payroll dept keep ringing me to beg me to get it sorted with them.

Bless them!

YOU are also very talented Bitsy.... I can't see the difference between your items and their items!!

The only thing I don't like about that Folksy website is the pages and pages you have to trawl through to see everything. I bet stuff gets lost in amongst it all.

List your stuff, you can only try
