    Am checking out today early as we are now going to see Florence and her Machine at the Ally Pally tonight, someone couldn't go so we bought their tickets. Bit worried about the SW plan as we have to leave too early for dinner, but not sure what food they will have there. The car load of stuff has been rolled over to tomorrow as we will just stop in at mine on the way up the road :)

    Hope you are all have a nice weekend!

    Occy Health went ok for me yesterday but has tired me out, slept most of today - i can go back to work part time for 12 months and then see about increasing to full time in 12 months. I can also consider myself free of any illness and stop using separate towels, keeping toothbrush etc away from others! I bought myself an I am no longer ill charm for my pandora and some new clothes as a traet to myself, spent the day with my best friend and loved every minute of a real girly shopping day.

    :)Done all washing, dried and hung it up
    :)cleaned kitchen
    :)Cleaned the hoover filter I hadn't discovered!
    :)dusted living room
    :)sorted out all shoes into their boxes
    :)did a weekly food shop
    :)posted ebay parcels
    :)Read a bit of Jane Eyre
    :)Email my little bro and my mum
    :)planted some seeds to germinate

    Tonight me and son#3 are going to see The Artist

    Have a great Saturday evening everyone!!!!

    Is everyone enjoying the blastin through challenge???? :D

    I actually think its a great idea. For me i tend to leave things, but i quite enjoy writing it down and crossing it off as i go along, that way i feel i've acheived something! I've finished all my washing today, the weather was too nice not to, so my ironing basket is full again! :eek::rotfl:

    Hey Xan's Mum :wave: lovely to see you back on - tell hubby you need lappy cos we miss you too much otherwise :D BTW what is a peanut ball?? lol and good luck with getting Xan on it!!

    CP - what can i say but :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::eek::eek::eek: I don't do ironing like ever lol!!! you have my full sympathy!!!

    I was having a low motivation day today i think mainly because i have been trying to get ebaying done :o it really affects me quite badly :( anyway i decided i would list some greeting cards i have big stock of them as i got them for selling at the market then found it too awkward - i have listed some with 25p start and 75p postage for 1 day listing to see how they go. Then came up with the idea i could offer to write the cards and post them direct and thought i could charge 25p for doing that - does that sound ok to you guys?? just wanting to run the idea past you all to see what you think? :D
