    Just wondering how we all got on with our 5 things for October? Trying to remember, but think mine were:

    Lose 7lb (lost 3.5)
    Find a hobby (been stocking my sewing basket)
    Finish my work project (almost there, got few additions)
    Sort through toys (sale next sat, all cleaned and ready)
    Finish garden bits (few pots to fling and more leaves to sweep but all tidy and oiled the hinges and locks this week)

    I'm quite happy with my progress. Still want to lose 7lb in November though. But I'm not signing up to anything else, as this is proving to be a tough month already.

  • Mumto5 - my 20 yearold DS likes clothes, DVDs - esp comedy ones or things like an itunes voucher...

    But what he wants mostly is cash - which doesn't wrap well...

    Last year he earmaked some stuff he liked in Topman, some of which I bought him. I also bought him some similar, but cheaper stuff from Republic. Guess which has worn/washed the best? Yes you guessed it - the cheaper stuff!

    DD2 has just dumped the b/f - more for her own sanity than anything else. I still want to give him an earful though...

    Morning All

    I don't want to go to work -can't I just stay at home?
    DH got up for work at 3 and I woke up at the same time and couldn't get back to sleep so I'm shattered.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all. Have written my list and it is long. I think paid stuff and vet visit will probably get in the way. I will try my best.

    Right, best get dressed and walk the dogs.

    Have a good day everyone.
