    Welcome Back Ruby :) I hope you manage to sort out the relationship stuff - its all a mystery to me and i should probably look at my own but am just going with the flow right now!

    What a very strange day i have had......

    Didn't wake up until 2pm!!!! that is unheard of for me - i slept from about 11pm last night so it wasn't even a sleepless night! anyway am now all out of sorts - just had my breakfast as i realised i hadn't eaten yet today either!!

    I have been doing a bit of blogging today and generally trying to think about what i want to do longer term. I come up with all sorts of ideas and then i have trouble following them through. So this time i'm trying to take things slowly and build up some selling type business. I have all sorts of things i can work with - including my own ebay style website if i can figure out the password again!! lol

    anyway today i have managed to:

    update blogs :)
    update ebay shop pages :)
    do free bingo :)
    come up with a strategy for earning via online sites :)

    and i would like to work through:

    my rollies list:

    take table legs upstairs
    clear boxes from hallway
    hang wash out (maybe) or up on clothes horse - done :)
    go for a walk
    put clean clothes away
    plan dinner
    finish emptying the car

    and

    sort out 24 more things to list on ebay (that will max out 2nd account)
    wash dishes - done :)
    finish tidying living room
    think about homework psychologist gave me - not sure abut it atm!

    oh yes and try not to stay up all night as i have had so much sleep :P done :)

    xxxxx
