    Just redeemed £12.50 CC vouchers on a £25 iTunes voucher - odd as I feel a bit guilty about it as it seems not a "proper" use of them but MrEH encouraged me to do it! :D Means I'll have iTunes credit for a good while as I don;t use it that often - only when there's a song out I really want, or an ap that's recommended.

    Right - not much else happening so lets see how I'm doing with my current goals and targets:
    ...
    So all in all, not bad.

    Not efficient? Not organised? Pah!

    :o

    Welll....maybe a bit?! :D


    Fun Stuff part of the plan has just lost an item as we are not now doing the Hawk Experience thing on Saturday - it was a groupon deal and they had already come back once to say that the deal was not what was advertised.....when we checked properly on the company's website we realised that we REALLY didn't know what it was we were going to end up doing, and as we'd not been massively impressed with them throughout and Groupon had offered a refund I agreed with Mum that she will get the refund and we'll look for another one to book instead.....it was worrying me that Mum & Dad might end up getting ripped off with us not getting what they expected of it. I might look to see what else we could do on Saturday or Sunday instead now - we do have £20 in Days out vouchers needing using by the end of this month.....

    sorry that your hawk experience has fallen through i bet it would have been amazing but i'm sure you'll find something else wonderous to do.

    Mr LT and i still have to figure out what to do during our time off, we can't really afford to go somewhere and stop over but if i'm not careful i'm worried that Mr LT will try and spend the whole time sleeping.

    Evening all! Not a lot going on around here at the moment hence slacking on the updates. Got my first 16 books out on my new bit of Avon territory at the tail end of my current campaign - picked up about 10 of the books yesterday including one order, and am hoping to get another order from the remainder tomorrow - nothing huge but a good start nonetheless. Once I've input the last few orders tomorrow I will be able to get the campaign submitted to Avon and I'll know how I've done, not great, but not too badly I don't think.

    Off up north with the speedway over the weekend - really looking forward to that although haven't quite got the nerve to check out the weather forecast yet! :eek: Then the week after that is the annual knees-up at Cardiff for the British Speedway Grand Prix - tickets arrived the other day and I've found the confirmation from the accommodation booking so all good there. Sorted for a pizza dinner with a big crowd of good friends after the meeting too! :T

    Healthy eating still going *OK* I think - I have MrEH helping me out with the exercise thing now too - he's taking me through some of the exercises they do at rugby training so it will be interesting to see how I get on with those. Tomorrow will be a bit of walking about the place as I have Avon books to collect - will stick the pedometer on the phone all day I think and see how far I go. Might post tomorrow's list on here to check off as I go too.

    Food today: No breakfast as at work from early. Lunch was a sesame bagel with pate, an apple, nectarine, kiwi fruit and a satsuma. Dinner was stir fried veggies with just a little chinese bacon, oyster sauce and noodles. Made a conscious effort to have a small portion of noodles than normal too. Followed up with some fresh pineapple which was fantastic! Felt like snacking a little while after so had a small piece of chocolate and two carrots - once I'd munched my way through those the urge to snack had gone!

    Would perhaps be more of an incentive if you could do them with the rest of the team? Just thinking about it gets my heart pumping faster ...

    lol Wordsmith too true!

    hope you get lots of orders with your last few books being collected.

    sounds like you have lots of nice outings planned for the next couple of weeks.
