    Hello all!

    Not much on my to-do list this week as I'm on the overtime rota this week, so nothing much gets done anyway.

    Decided to finally continue with my knitting only I'd forgotten where I was up to and how to do the stitches so ended up pulling it all back in frustration:rotfl:. Back to where I was with it now and my one aim this week is to finish the darn square. Who said knitting was relaxing?:D

    I been skiving :D hehehe been at mums and actually been quite busy - collected another full car load of stuff from old house, been naughty and buying stuff from charity shops again when i said i wouldn't........and bought some bits for my garden and house too!! Not too much but i wasn't really planning on it - i feel like it is a little treat though as i have been working so hard recently in the house and selling stuff etc :D

    This evening i'm taking it easy cos my hips are quite sore from all the box moving, but have a few things i want to work on tomorrow:

    pack ebay sale and post
    check details of new savings account
    check up on insurance for my tablet
    take out house insurance
    pay avon
    photograph new items for selling on ebay/fb
    check TCB for tracking of latest purchases
    one poll

    that will start me off for the day anyway, then i have lots of boxes of stuff to sort!!!

    Well i actually did so much yesterday i didn't get a chance to post LOL! I got all the boxes of stuff i brought from old house emptied and sorted - was about 30 of them as well :) also did a spreadsheet for purchases and sales for double money challenge, went for a quick walk and checked my finances/updated finance book, and sorted out stuff for car boot sale - it was a busy day!!!!

    Today i got up at 5am, showered and packed car only to have it not start :( then tried again to open a new ebay account but it wouldn't let me cos of the phone number or something. Its not starting off well :( but am going to try and spread some positive vibes rather than stay grumpy! :) not quite sure how yet, but i will try :)

    Good luck with all your stuff natters :D xxx

    Got most of what I wanted to get done yesterday. Should have had time this morning to do the rest but we weren't up till half 9! We usually just use small person as alarm clock on a Sunday even if we have work but the 45 min walk to his Nannas then his hyper 2 hours there must have tired him out...must take note :p

    Not much time for stuff today! Feels like half the day has gone and I have to leave for work at 11.

    Bath small person :)
    Make small person some meals :)
    eBay listing- not going to get 96 done. Will aim to do 5 new ones and relist some others.
    Colours wash :)
    Get expense form from work :)
    Start taking iron tablets again (I didn't like the side effects and had only taken one!) :)

    Its been a sleepy in day today all round - i have just got up! No car boot for me LOL! I don't actually mind so much as i'm guessing my low mood yesterday was mostly exhaustion and i needed the sleep.

    Natters i used to have to take iron tablets all the time so i can guess at the side effects! They do seem to settle a bit after a week or two of taking the tablets. If they make you feel a bit dizzy/sick/bad taste in ur mouth just make sure you take them after a bigish meal - never take them on an empty stomach cos then its rotten! Hope it settles for you soon :)

    So today i will be:

    checking the car starts ok - done and yes :)
    tidying the living room - did a little bit :)
    cleaning the kitchen - did a little bit :)
    sorting ebay sales
    relisting and new listings - did some relists :)
    adding things to my new fb page
    try and go for a little bike ride
    one poll
    try and do swaggers stuff (not easy on the dongle)
    empty the car
    remind myself how well i am doing :)

    Hello all,

    A week off from overtime (apart from tomorrow night) so can get stepping again. It's going to be more like a hike today though! Been dogsitting this weekend and throw my 4 cats into the mix and my house looks like it's not been cleaned in months.

    So tonight I must:
    • drop dog off back home
    • give kitchen a good clean, brush and mop
    • clear dining table, sideboard and coffee table of all the carp piling up on them, clean off all kitty pawprints, vaccuum and wash pet fleeces
    • do the ironing
    • chat to bessie vis FB
    • sort card to post for friend's birthday on the 12th
    I really want to change the bedding as dog has been sleeping on it (one of the cats stole his dogbed and he's too soft to demand it back:D) but love having a lie in after changing the bedding so it'll have to wait til Friday evening to be done.

    HI His Missus :) great to have you back!! hope you aren't too tired after all your overtime!

    I'm having a struggly time again - started on Saturday which was a bad day, yesterday not so bad and today a bit worse again. I have been taking baby steps and getting little bits done so trying to see the positive in that rather than thinking i'm getting no-where fast :)

    today i have psych app which i'm dreading but i know i need to go!

    apart from that i will be emptying the car and not much else i imagine. Who knows maybe i will feel better for getting out of the house :)

    Oh and i have £10 saved in coins which i would like to lodge if i can while i'm out!
