    Morning all,

    Big THANKS to FCC again :T

    Up and about here, been to the drs and we are going to fiddle with my happy pill dose to see if it helps, if not its going to have to be a case of slow reduction and new medication which i dread as having done this before it really does throw me off kilter for a few months. :(

    Anyway, had coffee and toast with mum and dad, fed my friends cake - I cheated all the ingredients would have cost a fortune as all the 'own' labels had sold out so I bought a pre-made cake which I am feeding with rum and will decorate for him instead. It still has part of me in and will be nicer than a basic buy your own. :o

    Got a massive amount of ebeast parcels to wrap today too, made £93 selling just 23 things so was ever so chuffed.:j
    Also got to finish up my cards for posting and then will go to the post office today. I also have a dental appointment at 2.30 so will be very sore after as I am having three small fillings done to repair some damage I have on my front teeth. :eek::eek::eek::eek:
    I am dreading it but I am looking forward to finally getting them repaired so I can smile in photos again!! :D < like this :rotfl:

    Ok off I go.. time to do some work..

    Hugs, Loves and Spoons

    Morning all

    Walked to town straight from school - beautiful frosty foggy day here, I like the cold air.

    Missed a parcel whilst out, postman never comes that early so why to do?

    Just going to do a few bits on here and then hoover around downstairs before lunch.

    Well, I managed to clear 2 32 litre boxes of stuff at the Vintage sale on Saturday so that's all good: went through the Christmas decorations, sold a good few of those as well. And I put all the boxes away yesterday, so the hallway is reasonably clear.

    Have prepared 2 bags of stuff for the charity shop and a bag full of mags for the library free box; him indoors will be taking those later today.

    Sorry to say I'm going to have to enlist the doctor's help to get rid of cold as it's gone to my chest. You don't want the details. :(

    ETA: Get him indoors to come up with Christmas card design..... or get the FCC Mule Flingers to persuade him!

    And the whole point is, with a dodgy back, is that you need to keep moving... Have your employers sorted out a decent chair for you or made accommodations for your problem?

    Well I've been to the post office collection depot to pick up parcel for Moon, been to the main post office in town to post the flylady Christmas Cards (Natty they were first class, so hopefully will arrive before Friday - have put in a £2 coin to help with your postage costs etc). Bought myself a coffee at Starbucks to warm myself up, got home and found a voucher from them for a free coffee. emrolleyes6.gif Oh well, at least the next one will be free. I was a bit naughty anyway, as I asked for a tall (small) latte, and ended up with a grande (medium) as the girl made a mistake. :D

    Since I've been home, I've brought in the washing from the TD and put it away.

    Looking at the time, I suppose I'd better go and change into work stuff now, and get myself some lunch before I leave. Want to pop into Mr A after work to get some chestnuts for the main course on Friday, but will see how it goes - I'm at the same school on Wednesday avo too, so I could always go then.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day. Will try and do a bit of flying tonight between getting home and going to my M&D's for dinner.

    Hugs to all who need or want them. Also, Happy Birthday to Maxonian. :bdaycake:
