    sounds like some really positive moves there, including going back to bed, sorry to hear about your migraine.
    When i've flitted through the boards i'm going to start blitzing this place, and i guess i need to head outside to the animals and the shops to get OH some fizzy pop.
  • Hope you feeling better after the nap ISOM. Lemon Tree - I need to start tidying once I get the kids back. Looks like a mini tornado just hit!

    Luckily I didnt drink that much over the new year, so no hangover, however my "tension headaches" or the one that is caused by the pinched nerves has been rearing its ugly head. Medication isnt doing much. If it doesnt go I will need to go back to the quacks.
    Hoping to get the clean washing dry. That that is hanging in my bathroom should be ready to iron. I hate ironing. I hardly ever do it, but have told myself that I must do it this year.! Be less of a bag lady look!
    Then I have a target of emptying one more box from the front room. Which is harder then you think as its where to put things!
    I dont have an airing cupboard and am trying to think of where to put the towels and bedding for a start!

    Anyway, Hugs from Moo land.
    DGD has just brought out the Muller lights. Very health conscious?
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

  • Which one are you using ISOM?

    This one http://www.whatsthecost.com/snowball.aspx

    or this http://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.html

    I find the second easier although you do need to do the soa budget first.
