    What about curtain fabric Bitsy?? Plums were doing it £1 a meter before xmas :)

    Robsmum, glad the pastry turned out well.

    As for my poor ikkle doggy, he has a huge lump on the side of his bottom and he has put a hole in it somehow :( it looks very yuk :eek: got a vets app tomorrow evening :( its looking very gross at the moment urrghhh, the thing is he is 13 and the last time he needed an op he struggled to come around and the vet said he wouldn't survive another :( (i would take a pic and show you what is wrong but it looks horrible so I'll not lol)

    Anyone ever buy fabric online or recommend anywhere?

    Anyway I am just whinging, I've managed to get some fabric and for that I am grateful. Just need to have a go with it now :eek: <big gulp>
    Not sure where you are bitsy, but I like abakhan (sp?), they sell good stuff on rolls and all sorts of oddments by weight. They may do online too, but have never used them for that.

    Echo what Northern Las said, I bought a cushion in a charity shop in an amazing turquoise silk, and have cut it up to use for other things.

    I wonder if antibiotics will sort it? If he's made a hole in it himself, they might not need to lance it to drain the puss... Fingers crossed x

    Just tucking DS2 into bed - and realised I have been nowhere near the computer all day.

    DS1 has worked very well today - and WANTS to be at home and WANTS to be learning - hope it lasts - LOL

    DS2 starts playgroup on Monday - 9am till 11.30 - he will be going Mon, Tues and Wed mornings.

    As for me??? Dunno??? But maybe will get some thinking time this evening.

    Yay, all the positivity is back :) I put my challenges on the otherside but will also post it here. It's lose weight, declutter living room and finish new drive :) I have made a start on all of them.

    Claire I hope your poor dog can get better :(

    I'm having 2 wisdom teeth out tomorrow so can I please ask for lots of positive thoughts? :(

    MG - could you at those times when DS2 is out of the house get DS1 to do something independently for you to use your time to set up passive income stream i.e. books, online courses etc... things that won't then need a lot your time to keep the sale and support to tick over later.

    I'm hoping that this is what I will eventually be able to do. But teeny tiny baby steps this time

    Claire - hope that pups is OK
    fantasia - I'll nag you if you'll nag me
    Mrs Hicks - wisdom teeth might not be as bad as you think - mine weren't but will send positive thoughts anyway
    MG - we must get together again soon & glad the boys are happy with the schooling arrangements

    And I've been putting this off but here goes

    My 100 day challenge

    It's going to be that - challenging & will also need a bit of tweaking for the first few days but as this starts on the 21st I have time

    I will need serious nagging - which I'm sure you'll all help with so here goes

    1/ Stop biting my nails
    2/ Lose 2 stones
    3/ Do something from my "niggle list" every day
    4/ I have a list of projects that need done - I'll spend 30 minutes each day on one of them - the list is a biggie but means I can pick & chose what I want to tackle that day
    a) Work in the garden
    b) De-clutter the garage
    c) De-clutter the house
    d) Chase Dad's money
    e) Make up the house book
    f) Have holiday for October booked & loosly organised
    g) CVs & Linked In up to date
    h) finances in order & in control
    5/ And finally - make sure I do do something nice and/ot thoughtful for someone every day


    So folks - there we are. It looks big but it really is quite logical

    Tell me what you think - but be gentle
