    Fantastic post my lovely friend:T

    So what's the plan now? Has anything changed?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    See that second quote is what I have been saying only FAR more eloquent than me LOL. Glad you had a relaxing time in some ways, though maybe not the best conversation topics.....(groan).
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    In essence no, I just want things done a little more quickly, my phone says Stop waiting start living, so yes to the house(savings) and more holidays and yes to the working smarter not harder and being organised. and yes to the having more fun.

    Being organised is the thing, my life has been pretty good for a while now but I know my stress levels would drop massively if I thought about things a bit more.

    any how online banking beckons.........................xxxxx

  • Ok, so its Saturday!

    Woke up in massive amounts of pain due to my earrings, my second holes in my ears keep swelling up and if I lay on them in the night I wake up due to the pain any how this morning I must have turned over and squished one cos I was up like a shot swearing like a sailor.

    If any one has any ideas of how to stop the swelling I would be VERY grateful! I wash them with salt water(also ouch!) and they heal but then a few days later they flare up again.

    Any how on to slightly less gross things.

    Breakfast has been had and I am on here to write my list.

    1. the fish tanks. the fish tanks have not enjoyed my holiday, they are full of algae and look manky.

    2. shopping - need to buy the gerbils a cage(tank type thing), some bedding, cd holders, stools for Gps, flowerpots and bases and a present for an 80 year old any ideas?

    3. make Gerbil cage (!)

    4. Tidy up shed.........hmmmmm.

    5. Go to family party that neither me nor Mum actually want to go to!

    best get on!

    Sounds like some fantastic thinking has been going on. It sounds as though everything is 'clicking' into place. I do hope that this time to reflect gives you the push to move to wherever you want to go (ok not the party!).

    The Shed and gerbil cage remain not done.

    we stayed v late at the party and I slept in :o and had a fry up. I am seriously avoiding the mess that is the HOUSE at the moment. Well the living room is ok - hence sitting in it.

    we currently have a shelf unit that needs to go up stairs (and one that needs to go downstairs) a desk that needs making up, shredding to do, books that need to go back to school and shed that is bulging with much well rubbish really.

    plus Gp that need cleaning out :o:o

    the shed is the thing tho. and then the guinea pigs. bah.
    How did it get to be nearly two o clock!! :o:o

    see you later folks
