I'm a bit grumpy :rotfl:
Aw sorry to hear you are grumpy this morningand 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 Sundayxxxx
