Fantastic news about the oil and the volunteering! :T What is it that you are doing?
Sorry that it wore you out thoughYour body will start to get used to it in time. It's fab that your doing it though, a big step to take
I hope you get a better night's rest tonight!
Not doing much stepping today. I took the recycling out and emptied the bins, put the dishwasher on and I went to college this morning for the first session of my course so that's enough for me as I am working this evening and all day tomorrow. Looking forward to finishing at my job, not long now...
I'll be back to step on monday, have a good rest of your weekends everyoneDon't turn a slip up into a give up

Thanks Suzi
I have been doing a few bits of volunteering - a few weeks ago i did some walking of the dogs at the local kennels and the past few weeks i have been helping in a cancer charity shop. The no sleeping thing seems to be after volunteering even tho it really tires me out being there. I'm wondering if its an anxiety reaction thing - exhausted but high levels of adrenalin or something........will have to keep an eye on the pattern.
How did your course go? and bet you can't wait to finish workxxx

Finally debt free!! March 2018 :j0 -
Would anyone have any old pyjamas/sheets/duvets/fabric they are throwing out??? i would be very grateful for them to make charity quilts. I am especially looking for pink fabrics to make a quilt for Cancer Focus breast cancer campaign fundraising, and brushed cotton pyjamas/sheets etc for childrens quilts. It doesn't matter what the condition is as they will be getting cut up! If you are able to post anything to me please PM me for address.
