    Aw sorry to hear you are grumpy this morning :( and hope it passes soon!!

    I am actually feeling quite good despite my early morning - i had a horrible migrainy day yesterday, woke up shaky and nauseous which is all probably related to the meds increase, but this morning i feel a good bit better.

    I did manage to do a few wee bits yesterday - 4 :):):):) off the list, and also managed to knit the feet for the elephant lol. Also i did a little bit of promo for my money blog and had 55 visitors to it yesterday :) so i'm counting that as 6 :)

    Today i would like to:

    get some books listed on amazon again - 10 listed :)
    get at least 5 things listed on ebay
    do some more promo for blog - done :)
    find my good camera cos i need decent pics for folksy listing
    Pack up ebay sales
    calculate ebay profits
    finish knitting elephant - just the tusks to do lol - knitting done and legs sewed up :)
    go out for a walk
    aviva letter
    plant things in the front garden

    add rollovers from yesterday!

    Still take it quite easy or i might bring my headache back!

    Hope you all have a great Sunday :) xxxx

    Fairyclicks - just read a few pages back about you starting up your crafting business again, how strange that I have also been looking into card making etc too recently...I was so excited to pop into HobbyCraft today, just overwhelmed by all the little bits and pieces available...

    I was good though and didn't get anything just on the spare of the moment...brain storming a bit first on what i would prefer to concentrate on and then make a list!!!

    Quite proud of myself today have really been concentrating on upping the income a little more to clear some of this debt a bit quicker!!

    Todays to do's

    1. Create squid lens done
    2. Walk dog done
    3. Tidy house done
    4. Put wash on done
    5. Research more into earning from squidoo done
    6. Check banks done
    7. Make PAD done

    Hope everyone has had a nice weekend
    Cleared £5k debt in 2015 (SO FAR)
    Clear remaining balances on 2 credit cards in 2016
    1st credit card @ £599
    2nd credit card @ £1,100
    SAVINGS 2015/2016 - £65.00/£1,000
