He has a throat infection and is feeling pretty sorry for himself (I should have asked the docs if it was normal that he seems to have lost the use of his arms and legs :rotfl:) - luckily Xan and I are off to a birthday party this afternoon at a soft play place, so he can get on with it!!

    I'm on a mission today - i bought plastic towers yesterday for my craft things which means i can really get stuck into clear out my spare room - this is a HUGEEEEEEEEE task as i have boxes of clothes that i can't get into at the minute, boxes of car boot sale stuff, boxes of avon stuff and boxes of craft stuff in there - i am not joking the boxes are piled 10 high in places :o:o I also have boxes of 'stuff to sort out' and paperwork in there. The whole room is crammed.

    Now i have my craft storage area though i can start to clear some space which will in turn let me work through the boxes - there is a load of stuff in there for selling so its really going to help me get on top of this stuff :D

    I'm going to do some of my regular online earning stuff this morning and then get stuck in - wish me luck :p

    Happy Smilie Sunday everyone!!

    Good morning everyone :wave:

    As always I'm an early riser although 5.45am for a Saturday morning was a little early even for me :eek:

    5 smilies for me yesterday :D:D:D:D:D but I have to admit to looking forward to the day I achieve 10 (now that would be an outbreak of different smilies :p )

    I can't decide whether to make a last minute dash to Newcastle today to see my beautiful DD1 if last minute Alfie Boe tickets are released (he is performing at The Sage tonight) Fingers crossed that they are, I can get some and the decision is done and dusted ;)

    So here is my wish list for today
    1. Shop at Morrisons - I have a save £6 wys £40 Done
    2. Pull sofas out and vacuum
    3. Prune and tidy front garden
    4. De-clutter Governor paperwork
    5. Empty another 'cube'
    6. List ebay
    7. Compile medical file
    8. De-clutter more paperwork
    9. Ring and try to get better competitive payments for electric and home/building insurance
    10. See Alfie Boe tonight :happyhear :dance: :dance: :dance: Oh yes - he was amazing

    Happy Monday everyone :wave:

    Well what a Saturday and Sunday I had :dance:

    I managed to get the last minute tickets to see Alfie Boe and he was amazing. I even went to the stage door and got his autograph and gave him a kiss (I am a bit of a huggy person and asked if I could give him a kiss - I am well embarrassed about it now - I mean a 48 year old women going all mushy :o)

    We spent Sunday with my DD1 who is at Uni and it was such a lovely time. It was the anniversary of my Dad's funeral so having such a positive day was wonderful.

    I'm shattered today so I think it will be a duvet day :rotfl:

    2 smilies for me from the weekend :D:D and my wish list for today
    1. De-clutter Governor paperwork
    2. Empty another 'cube'
    3. List ebay Done
    4. Compile medical file
    5. De-clutter more paperwork
    6. Plan for half term Done
    7. Pay bills
    8. Tidy front room (it's like the Forth Bridge - never ending!) Done
    9. Get ready for DD3's book sale
    10. Update calender Done
    11. Check e-mails Done
    12. Start writing a blog
    13. Put Martin MSE on my twitter - I am just taking my first steps into this twitter thing! Done
    14. Send important e-mail
    15. Post important letter
    16. E-mail Head re Governors Done
    17. E-mail Vice-Chair re Governors Done
    18. Avoid chocolate :EasterBun Done
    I just love that smilie and chocolate is my comfort food :rotfl:

    I know my list is long but I have a lot of catching up to do!

    Marvellous Monday to you all and sending lots of hugs :grouphug:
