    Hi everyone
    I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I was away camping in Harrogate as we had booked to see Alfie Boe in concert. With the week that I had had last week (I had already cancelled 3 things) I was worried if I would make it. Following an afternoon sleep, I am very pleased that I did as Alfie was outstanding.

    Congrats to you all for all your lovely smilies :T

    Here is my top ten for today

    1. De-clutter even more paperwork Done
    2. File paperwork Done
    3. Post important letters
    4. Update Filofax and calender Done
    5. Update address file Done
    6. Check e-mails Done
    7.
    8.
    9.
    10.

    Rest to follow

    "One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much was in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little bit better because I was important in the life of a child."

    I am going to try and do a few things today without pushing myself too much:

    hopefully will

    do a good bit of knitting on second doggy coat
    sew up and add buttons to doggy coat #1
    find the things i need to get postage costs for
    work out postage prices for those 3 things
    email buyers with price including postage and apologise for taking so long


    sort out all the clothes that are sitting all round my bedroom
    do a wash
    sort out all the junk that has gathered up on my bedside cabinet.

    If i can any of those things done i will be very pleased with myself :)
