    Morning Steppers :)

    Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine!!!

    So far this morning i have done some website stuff - its all been about the craft fair sites and have done nothing with my own site for ages :o Part of the issue is not having much stuff actually finished and the other part is about my lack of photography skills so i am going to try and work on these :D

    Todays steps then are:

    Join an online photography group or two!
    Do some work on shamballa bracelets that need finished
    Make a start on ruffle scarf order

    I also would like to:

    go outside and get a bit of sun on the old bones!
    sort myself out for doing car boot sale tomorrow (hopefully)
    pump up ball for my new chair
    do a wash and hang it out
    make a start on DLA form
    sort ebay sales
    swagbucks +50
    superpoints

    hmmmmm who knows what else i can add.......lol!

    Checked my e-mails :D
    Had breakfast at Ikea :D
    Shopped at Costco :D
    Helped DD1 and BF to finish packing :D
    Helped clean their flat from top to bottom :D
    Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' :D
    Put a £1 a day into my 'party tin' :D

    Hi TM6

    Good luck with your work meeting! You will be fine :)

    I'm not stepping at the moment as I'm trying to get my dissertation done ready to send tomorrow. I've done 1350 words and need to do at least 3000! :eek:

    Made £60 at the car boot yesterday so it was worth getting up ridiculous early!

    Hope you all have a lovely day x
