    Just noticed your sig re Reki level 1, can you get it cheaper, I did mine through a local school that has a business centre that hires out the hall, and did over 4 weeks, don't know if that be any cheaper. I'm going back 3 yrs, and I paid about £30. Its still being done now, and is only about £40. It was an amazing course, and a brilliant skill to have, I use to do the Reki healing on my dog. xx

    I did search before going with this lady and she was one of the cheapest....seems an expensive area for it....my sister also did one for around £40!!! :eek:....the lady has been lovely though and has guided me through a meditation course which has been fab so i know her now and am happy to pay her :) oh and she has said i can pay her whenever i want as i told her i couldn't make the march course. She was so lovely i daren't go anywhere else now :rotfl: and she lives 5 mins from me ;)

    There were only Dad ones left today, so there is a limit to the amount you want to get, I should have bought 10 and then waited to see if he noticed over the course of a decade that he kept getting the same card!:rotfl:;)

  • Not feeling too clever today - haven't felt right for about two weeks, off to Drs in a moment but I think my remission may be over, in which case i need to come up with a serious plan as I'll have to reduce my work hours, I can't get insurance to cover my wages cos of nature of illness and am exhausted. I popped into Mr T last night for the whoopsie bread and even the SS assistant commented that i look awful, which shows how often I am down there when the bread is reduced!:rotfl:
    Going to work mainly from home today, typing stuff, so will try and reserve my energy for later on.
    On the plus side, i did manage to price up some things for the table sale and then my head hit the pillow at 8 and didn't wake til the alarm went off.:rotfl:

    Xmas Saver!
    you take things easy, going by last yr that was a week later with Boots, (think that was coz of the snow), but the last couoke yrs its usually been the 3rd wed in Jan. so taking a chance.

    Went to our small med sized Boots (retail park) they hadn't got much left in 50%, not sure if there shipping it to town centre store. Want some bargains xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • It's 10.09 and i'm still not out of bed, finished my book and feel really chilled.
    A NSD for me today and i'll try to sort out the rest of the stuff for the table sale tomorrow.
    When you look at all the stuff you have which you don't need use or want it's quite scary. I have a mahooosive pile of boxes now at the bottom of the stairs waiting to be packed into the car. I did buy a clothes rail from Sanisburys last week with 33% off so only £6.34 which I hope to make the money back on from the table sale.
    Food still from the freezer, I don't seem to be emptying it too quickley and have ordered a home delivery of shopping for tuesday so need some space in it! I planned really carefully on the food shop and have managed to meal plan and get all the essentials for £93.00 for the month for four of us and just need to buy bread and fruit to top that up, which I'll try to get whoopsied. Had to pay off a huge council tax bill yesterday of over £400 which they had miscalculated as i was on sickness benefit all last year.
    Going to laze about and chill today - might not even get out of my PJ's such decadence!:j
