A couple of my facebook friends are trying to win 1000 t-shirts to sell to raise money... There are several other bids in but the photographs need to be 'liked' on a facebook group.. you don't have to join anything or and you won't be cluttered with emails etc..

It is THIS LINKYPOPS ..
if you wouldn't mind liking the pegasus t-shirt picture JDRF and lots of diabetic children would be very grateful... it breaks you heart some of these are little tiny babies
I will like when I get home, cannot get onto FB from work :eek::TGratitude is the best Attitude :T

While my laptop was getting going I managed to hoover the hall, doormats and bits of the sitting room that needed it most. Progress was then disrupted by a friend calling, so I'm now going to have to catch up on work before I have to go out... need to do better than yesterday with the time and motion thing!0

Afternoon everyone.
The sun is out here for a change although lots more rain is forecast for the week. Glad some of you that need the water are getting it just now - I would send this weeks downpours to you if I could.:)
pigpen - Pegasus t-shirt liked as requested. Love the design - beautiful.
Flying today - DW on and emptied. Downstairs loo and sink cleaned. Awaiting food delivery - need to iron or garden (tackle weedy jungle) in the meantime.
Still a lot of yesterday's list to do, so glad today's seems a bit easier.
Have a good day everyone.
