    What a horrible 2 days i've had! After trapping the nerves in my back i was hit by the most awful sickness bug, which has put me down for 2 days! :(

    Have spent lots of time sleeping/throwing up/sleeping/throwing up.... Starting to feel a little human again tonight. Going to bed now for a good nights sleep, and will hopefully be back tomorrow feeling more positive. As for now, i just feel like ive acheived nothing :(


    Major hugs CP :grouphug: for a speedy recovery

    Good Morning Steppers
    Well done TM6 on the Alfie Boe tickets - what a treat!
    Fairy and Dinah - hope you are both feeling great today

    I cancelled the craft Fayre on Sunday after getting all the stuff together as all my family are coming to stay and it looks like it's going to be a late one on Saturday (St Paddy's) as we are going to see a friends band. I have asked to just transfer over to next months stall so hopefully I wont loose the money I have paid.

    I managed to list some of the things on ebay yesterday and they already have bids:j:j:j:j

    I'm starting to feel a bit brighter, I wonder if the weather got to us all, that lovely sunshine inspired us all to do more, then dull drizzly nothingness took it all away again???:rotfl::rotfl:

    2. Sort out cupboard in living room
    3. book an electrician for the loft
    4. have a flick around guest room with a duster and the hoover :)and a chisel to clear away cobwebs!:)
    5. A NSD today ( apart from the two below but i dont count them in):)
    6. £1 into high maintance tin:)
    7. Pay something off CC:)
    8. Update ' new start for a newbie' page ( I notice it has been face book recommended, what does that mean???):)
    9. List a few more ebay things:)
    10. Call 3 friends re lunch one day before one of them has her baby!
    11. Contact work about phased return
    12. Check online bank:)
    13. Try not to check ebay 47 times today to see whats selling:rotfl:

    I seem to keep dipping in and out of this challenge - probably out much more than in, but I promise to try harder!! :D
    Far too tired to make a big list today as was up more times than I can count with DS2 during the night. So just a diddy list today.
    1. Meet a friend for a coffee - I've kept putting this off because I've been tired, or running too late, or just been a bit lazy lately :o Have been making too many excuses, which is awful really because I do want to see her, and I think she's a bit down at the moment.

    2. Put pile of clean washing away

    3. Empty clean washing from machine

    4. Get 6 Ebay listings ready for the weekend

    5. Pull out the sofa and hopefully retrieve several lost toys / cards / pennies hopefully! And hoover underneath it I suppose.

    6. Both me and OH are on 600 and something Swagbucks, so will try and get those both up to 849 for £5 Amazon voucher
