    Hello :hello:

    Sorry I keep skipping a day didn't finish work til 5.30pm last night then straight out doing avon and didn't stop til about 10pm but it was a successful collection so far I have £650 in orders........I'm happy with that considering all the pjs that were ordered are out of stock :mad:I kid you not about 10 pairs of pjs so I'm down £100 in orders but they'll come next time I guess :p

    Still got a couple of people to get the books back from but I'm happy with what I've got means less running about next week as it's the last delivery before Xmas :j

    Started work at 7.30am set up playgroup £2 16 kids attended. Paid the rent for the room hire which comes out of the playgroup funds. Organised everyone to bring something to the party which is in two weeks :eek: only got three more people to chase up and see what they want to bring xx

    Went to the bakers spent £4.10 on 2 rolls and a cake for Kk came home and ate lunch before taking the boys back to nursery ......my other mindee was meant to show up and I've just received a text saying they aren't well....poor wee soul so I have a couple of hours to myself and I'll be doing washings and wrapping Xmas presents :rotfl: living the dream lol

    Sent £13 towards the Halifax I'm gutted I can't fling more at it just now but I suppose I should be grateful for not adding too much to my debt (Argos card and very will be cleared before the new year) I hope :rotfl: as soon as my credit card is under £4K I'll be clearing very and Argos of the Xmas presents as I want the little accounts gone before the remortgaging process starts in March :eek:

    Right I'm off to pull presents out of the cupboard wish me luck :rotfl:

    Your an absolute machine and your motivation is just amazing!

    How is Abbie getting on at school now, I hope she is feeling better. Luke is getting on a bit better, I ended up phoning his guidance teacher who was fab and she emailed all his teachers just to give them a heads up. Prelims in jan so time will tell but the hypnosis definitely calms him down.

    Not sure what school Abbie is at but dd has just today been told where her school placement is for jan and she is delighted....she got St Joseph's! Thanks goodness it's only half an hour away, the last one was Renfrew :eek:

    Hope you had fun wrapping :rotfl:
