    HI TM :D its ok i still love you :happylove

    All has been going a little bit crazy for me - the online auction has gone well but has been exhausting! I'm wishing i had stuck to the 1 day event now as it has just taken over my whole weekend! I have made a couple of sales myself :) and have now set up a fully functioning shop page for the crafters :D

    Apart from that i also got a web design job which should take me a few weeks to do :eek:

    TBH life has just taken on a whole new direction :D

    I have also been doing some making - 12 tweed flower brooches and a crocheted cactus yesterday :rotfl:

    I have no idea what i would like to actually get done today - will just be happy to see the end of the online fair ;)

    Had a rubbish day yesterday... got awful feedback from my interview on Friday and it really upset me because I honestly have no idea how it was that bad. It was my first interview through that agency so I don't think I'll be put forward for any further jobs somehow :(

    I didn't get anything done yesterday except:
    send ebay parcels :)


    Today, mostly rolled from yesterday:
    food shop
    bank money
    bank cheques
    uni work
    start using new sewing machine
    washing up
    unpack from weekend away
    shower, straighten hair


    Have a good day x

    Good afternoon Happy Steppers Crew :hello:

    Completed my CBT homework :D
    Attended my CBT:D
    Invited my Mum up for her birthday :D

    This afternoon and evening I would like to
    1. Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' Done
    2. Put a £1 a day into my 'party tin' Done
    3. Talk to hubby about the week ahead
    4. Talk about all our 'blasting through' list of jobs
    5. Update Filofax
    Wishing all the Happy Steppers Crew a wonderful Wednesday! :grouphug:
