    Good morning all :wave:

    The highlight of my day yesterday was that my DD3 made £16.50 from the sale of her books (after the cost of the table was deducted), I was VERY pleased. It has gone straight into her money tin for the summer and it will encourage her not only to sort through more of her books but to read more as well. I must say though that she is a book worm already :rotfl:


    7 smilies for me yesterday :D:D:D:D:D:D:D well pleased

    Today I would like to......
    1. Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' Done
    2. Prune and tidy front garden Done
    3. Pull sofas out and vacuum
    4. Write shopping list for next week (I have a £5 off £40 spend for Morrisons) Done
    5. Compile medical file
    6. Write Day 5 of my blog
    7. Take photograph and attach to important e-mail - then send!
    8. Post important letter
    9. Prioritise items for listing on ebay
    10. Photograph more items to list on ebay
    11. List ebay - free listing day again today
    12. Write and post birthday cards
    13. Return Child Benefit form
    14. Transfer paypal from ebay into bank account Done

    19. Find dongle
    20. Bring Geocaches/T.B's/Geocoins up to date Done
    21. E-mail L,J and D
    I know that this is an extensive list but I want to get all those niggling little jobs out of my head and down on paper. I can feel a rollover day coming on tomorrow already :rotfl:

  • Good Morning, Good Morning, lalala Good Morning :D

    I am very pleased with myself for managing to do everything off my list yesterday :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D it did take me the whole day, and needed a sleep and several headache tablets inbetween but hurrrrrrray i did it :j:j

    TM - a massive list for you i see - really good luck with that!! sometimes its good to just get those wee things all written down isn't it??

    I'm not quite sure what i want to get done today yet......:rotfl:

    A few things jump to mind so i guess i start there:

    1. Find necklace i sold on ebay ages ago as the buyer has confirmed she would still like it.
    2. List a few more bits on ebay
    3. Hang up the second wash i did yesterday
    4. Write a shopping list
    5. check when i get money in again
    6. check the balances on my credit cards/loan accounts
    7. survey for survey a day challenge
    8. do some toluna polls to boost points
    9. play through points on woohoo and keep fingers crossed for golds LOL
    10. superpoints clicks
    11. blog review for superpoints site
    12. boost swaggers points to 150 if i can - currently on 72!

    no doubt there will be some more come to mind but we will see how it goes, another slow and steady day for me i think :D

    Tidied bedroom :)
    Moved paypal money to bank account :)
    Folded wet washing and put what will fit on radiators :)
    Washing machine on and just finished :)

    Finally sorted what colour paint I want on spare room. Its only cream but has taken me days to decide :rotfl:There is a whole sea of creams available :D


    My list to be done is:
