    I am very new to this. but lets give this a go.

    Done
    - Checked bank account.
    - Posted a book I sold on ebay.
    - Used money left over from my budget for going out last night to pay for postage of said book.
    To Do
    - Check surveys
    - Work Lunch provided and soup for dinner. So hopefully a NSD for the rest of the day.
    - Go to the gym, I find if I bust my butt at the gym for an hour or so I'm less inclined to eat rubbish, and therefore no chance of needing to re-stock the rubbish foods.

    Hi everyone :wave:

    Lunch time catch up from moi ;)

    Nipped to get a roll to make a sandwich - 39p - have chicken and sandwich spread/coleslaw type thing.

    Looking at the train tickets I need for next couple of months - trying to book early. Decided not to make full/normal £300 payment to cc this month and to do everything else I need to do like pre-book travel and pay deposit for yoga course. :o but sensible really… :)

    Investimigating options for OH's bday. Place I was thinking about going to only has buses during the day and the last bus is 1737…what if we missed it?!!! Worth the risk??? Need to find more options for getting home. Could borrow MIL's car but not ideal…

    Mind is ticking over lots of little things today and still trying to concentrate on work. But feel like I've got no time to be in work today because there's so much more I could be getting on with… And only planned a 30 min lunch!

    :wave:A warm and lovely afternoon everyone!!!!

    Gosh it's a beautiful day but a bit chilly!!!

    Had my appointment today at the physio assessment clinic. Got some fanatastic advice regarding my liagments. advised to reduce use of wrist bands and neck cushions as these can make my muscles weaker:eek:. Will start a one to one physio session for a few weeks, to reduce pain and hopefully strengthen muscles in hands and fingers. Will learn how to tackle daily living more effectively and to continue to work on how to pace myself, without over using my limbs. So Snoop is a very happy bunny indeed!!!:D

    This afternoon

    Check emails and reply to a few

    Ring up ' shape', my favourite charity for providing a great service for peeps like me who couldn't get the theatre without support. Been a member for 2 years now, and heard on the news their funding is going be cut!!:eek: I have yet to use this service, but greatly support the work they do!:D

    The heating is off

    check Ebay for ink cartridge, didn't buy any the last time I looked

    Need to finish off the cushions covers for lovely mums birthday:D

    Measure up with DD later, material for v shape cushion. Mine is looking a bit tatty so have some beautiful lilac material to sew one instead of buying. To practice more, will use some brand new towels and turn those into face clothes and teatowels. Thats the plan, might take me awhile to do them, but I will do them!!:D

    Well thats it for me all you lovely peeps. Have a lovely evening, enjoy!! and stay positive!!!:T
