vintage43

Good Morning Steppers - Yey!:j I am now working again, after a very rocky 18 month lapse!
I have reduced my hours to 2 1/2 days per week, starting today with the half day, although i did go in and do a half day yesterday setting up desk, trawling through emails etc, but the relief at only having to go in twice a week is amazing, the half day will be spent at home usually updating paperwork etc:j:j:j:j:j Soooo pleased I can't say, just going to have to be extra savvy with my pennies now:o

Todays list is

1. Make up 3 ebay items to post today
2. go to work:)
3. put in a payment claim from last time I was in work
4. contact working families tax credits:)
5. price up some more items for craft sale:)
6. print off the lables for the Rag Dolls
7. walk dog x 3:)
8. £1 into HMF tin:)
9. check credit expert and see if I can update my signiture:)

Happy Wednesday everyone, oh I forgot I'm off to cinema tonight to see Marigold Hotel!:T

HI guys

I don't know what is wrong with me today - i just feel like crying all of a sudden its been quite a while since i've felt like that - been grumpy and low at times but not tearful. Strange thing is i was ok when i got up and went into town etc but now just want to crawl under the duvet and cry . Things to do though so am not going to give in to it

So far today i have

superpoints - done - was close to cashing out again so will check that shortly
swagbucks - almost at +100 for today
paid mortgage
bought myself a lovely little denim waistcoat
walked into and back from town
paid £41 off my OD account
went to the local car boot sale for a nosey - its a wee tiny one so not too busy.
bought 2 books to sell on - like i don't have enough of my own :rotfl: but they seemed like a bargain at 30p each so will see!

Other things i want to do

post ebay sales
finish sewing up purple elephant
decide on eyes for ele cos don't want to put hard ones in it.
look for camera
look for lead for mini sewing machine
get lots of books onto amazon
survey
blog promo
check appointment dates

Right that should keep me busy going to gather myself up and get to the post office cos i know i will feel at least a little better once they are away
