    hello all

    guess what?

    I now have my degree! Oh yeah baby! somethingaboutshopping BA is what I am!

    As I am Scottish I have one more year to go (Honours year), but just wanted to say having gotten my results I have recycled lots of my notes and cleared some space which I am going to start using to hide presents.

    I know this is all very pompous but Go Me

    6 months :eek: ! No seriously, I will start preparing for Christmas after our holidays ( We will be back from Sarajevo 24.07). I already have cards, some presents and lots of craft stuff from Studio ( they had a really good sale on last month).

    Recently I've picked up a t-shirt for one of the step kids. So I'm slowly gaining. Eventually it could become an issue of 'space'...or lack thereof.

    This is a series of messages from flylady.net. She usually starts (I think) in September or October; last year they were called the Holiday Cruise missions or similar.

    You can check out and download the Holiday Control Journal here - http://www.flylady.net/pages/control_journals.asp

    The missions are a separate thing and you would need to sign up for these if you want them.
