The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

Oh dear Ruby! Maybe a little box of choccies to apologise?! Similar thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago; we have *so many* systems to update for every piece of work we do (seriously annoying, just because we work in IT doesn't mean we have to use every system available to monitor our work!) and I had forgotten all about one of them, my manager came across about 8 months worth of 'unfinished' projects in my name because I just hadn't realised that they needed closing, she spent 2 days checking and fixing it all! I reckon it's her fault for not keeping on top of housekeeping, if she had she'd had found out loads earlier and got me told!

ETA: Exciting stuff about the wedding getting closer Wendz! If you need someone to make pretty invites for a super cut price you know who to call!

Ohh we have started creating an invite, well i say we i mean my sister. Trying to make one with a pocket which i am putting info and rsvp card in. Looks good so far! Just need to decide all the wording etc.

Would love to see pics when they're made! Did them a bit like that for my brother's wedding (did a petal fold outer with 3 different sized cards stacked inside), they looked amazing and everyone thought they'd spent a fortune getting them professionally made, when it was me, SIL and about £10 worth of card!

That's pretty much what I want for our invitations (when we eventually get round to booking something).

Ah well you know who to ask for help when the time comes! I miss having a project to work on, don't know anyone getting married now who I can help out; doubt our friend's GF who's having the big fancy wedding next year will want a little Yorkshire scrubber like me 'ruining' her invites.

That does sound brilliant, have you got a pic of them?

I *think* I blogged about it, I'll check tonight and link it for you. I really need to update my blog, haven't done it for months and I've got a project to brag about!

Please do, I love reading everyone's blogs. Do you have email subscribe on yours? I love blogs arriving to my inbox, I kid myself that makes it efficient to read 5 or 6 a day.

I'm over halfway through my day zero list, already started thinking of things I want to do on the next one. I find it interesting how my priorities have shifted since the start of this one, I blame Grace. Hows everyone else getting along?

I'm at 31% complete. I might scrap that list and start again, a lot has changed and some of it just doesn't interest me now. I'm 3 books off my 'Read 50 new books' goal, if I hadn't re-read all 4 Little Women books a couple of months ago I'd have hit my target!

I don't have the e-mail subscribe thing for blogs, I tend to check Blogger every couple of days to see who's updated what anyway on my subsciptions but I hate the new dashboard, just doesn't seem as easy to glance over as the old one so I don't read as many as I used to. Grrr.
