    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

  • This is a good idea, and a great way of keeping me focussed. (I only joined yesterday!)

    Today, having had a LBM yesterday and the first good night's sleep in about a fortnight, I am going to:

    Check Bank - Done
    Visit my counsellor - at 1.45pm
    Come home and start on my SOA with Hubby who is coming home early.
    Go online and make recipes from what's left in the cupboard.
    Breath a sigh of relief!

    Thank you !

    Hi inabitofamess :wave: great to *see* you :) glad to hear that you had a good nights sleep - life's rotten if we don't meet our basic needs :( fabulous that you've joined the thread, stick with it - I can honestly say this thread has really helped me in so many way, from just sticking with it to support from a lovely bunch of folks :A and stealing other's top tips. And hubby on board you clearly are a miracle worker! It has taken me months/years to get oh to adapt :p

  • Good morning

    today I am [STRIKE]aiming[/STRIKE] will do the following:

    check banking
    prepare the meat loaf for tea tonight
    finish trying to find some where that sells cheap chicken wire
    dye my hair
    hopefully help OH build the frame work for my chicken run


    did banking and was surprised and happy to see balance
    meatloaf turned in to pork chops from freezer as we went to see some chickens, I have now reserved 4 lovely ladies. bought chicken wire, feed and feeders on way home from farmers wholesalers we drove past.

    went to instore and bought wool for 3 scarves 2 are pressies for my sisters and the 3rd is for me. the wool is so pretty and has sequins sewn into the wool can't wait to knit with it and was cheap.

    too dark now to build coop =( want to pick up my chooks at the weekend and start to get them settled in.

    Evening all. Well suprisingly I have acieved most things on my list. Still haven't listed anything yet and probably won't this week. Made a reasonable start on wrapping pressies and writing cards , its such a chore :(

    I have done an online grocery shop for next week and its easy to keep the heating on low when you have a temperature ;) .
    I spent a bit too much time and effort on debenhams site , in the end it lost my order which was no bad thing.

    gonna borrow dds lappy now to do a couple of surveys and enter coke zone points while watching apprentice.

    May not get on tommorow as have a busy day planned - best freind wants to go see santa then its our pub night :)
    Night folks
    When it rains look for Rainbows
    When its Dark look for Stars
