Hiya
How long have you been doing the reflexology course for? Are you enjoying it? I did mine ten years ago (can't believe it's that long!) and am currently doing a sweedish body massage course. Good luck with the assignments etc and the cleaning of course!January budget

Michelle, x
We've just been waiting for the babies feed time. Once his bottle is finished we will then head off to the shop, also getting some fresh air/exercise on this lovely day.
I feel pleased with where i got up to as quite a few jobs are now off the master list. If i achieve a few more things today i will be more than happy, but my priority will be washing my hair as i'm out tomorrow and want to look nice!
Catch you all later,
Michelle, x0 -

realised last night i had forgotten to add that i realised on getting back from weekend away what a difference this thread and flying had made to me. i came in and instead of dumping my case in the hall or bedroom where it usually stayed 'til i next needed it, i unpacked it straight away, put all the dirty stuff in the laundry bin and put the rest away, then put the case away.
i'm so proud of myself. i'm the world's worst procrastinator!!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
dd21 needs some money to get to a job interview tomorrow and failed in tapping her dad so she just asked if there were any jobs she could do for money - yay - i've offloaded the fridge, microwave, fish tank and very scary cupboard under the stairs - that's a fiver well spentI'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 20080
