    Thanks so much for the comments re website - i have been asked if i could develop one for someone else as a result of doing that one :eek::eek: It is something i am interested in and so i think i will give it a go :D I have been trying to develop my own the past few days, but can't get something i like yet - typical hahahaha! I will have to try and find out how much it is to get a site done and see what on earth i could charge as i have no idea at all! Shouldn't be too hard to find out!

    Today I would like to
    1. Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' Done
    2. Put a £1 a day into my 'party tin' Done
    3. Take DS's GF to work Done
    4. Swim
    5. Do CBT homework Done
    6. Attend CBT Done
    7. Put a £1 in my High Maintenance Fund jar for NSD
    Wishing all the Happy Steppers Crew a wicked Wednesday! :grouphug:

    Not on the list but I have also
    Tidied my 'office' corner :D
    Sorted out some Geocaching themed items ready for Ebay :D
    Listed my 1st item on ebid :D
    Ordered promotional items from Vistaprint for ebid (and an Alfie Boe mug but don't tell the hubby ;)) :D
    Did 5 minutes on the treadmill :D

    Declutter 2018 in 2018 3/2018

  • Hi All, my internet decided it didn't like the forums and wouldn't let me on for a few days! Tried going on through my phone and a proxy page but it was a pain.

    I'm doing ok, feeling a bit sorry for myself at the moment as I'm getting sooo fed up of not being at work and seeing my friends do things without me even though they know I'm not at work. Just seems like I've supported them for various things and now I need it, they aren't interested. It feels like I've moved to a different country, not just 20 minutes down the road.

    Anyway... today:

    gym :D
    shower, dry and straighten hair :D
    couple of bits from the shop :D
    post lovefilm ticket freebie thing :D
    bank cheque
    washing up :D
    make lasagne for tea
    do at least one load of washing :D
    uni work


    Have given up SW for now as my heart isn't in it, and while i need to lose wieght, it wasn't doing anything for my mental-wellbeing paying to go and not losing weight.

    Wowzer FC, you're doing really well with your website and a car boot sale as well - I hope the weather holds for you
