Cool idea! My husband's away next week as well, so I'll have a think and try and come up with five for me, if you don't mind me joining in?0

OK, Mr Minx has been waved off Manchester-wards and here's my list:
1) Do 50 eBay listings for clearance stock for my business
2) Write 5 blog posts for the business blog
3) Re-price and re-list 5 types of gemstone bead
4) Declutter 50 items (including getting Merlin's old saddle up for sale - even if it doesn't go this week, I'm counting it as 1!)
5) Get 25 more items (5 a day) listed in my Etsy shop
That's quite ambitious, compared with what I normally get through in a week, so I'll see how I go....0 -
Today's progress - not brilliant, but Mondays are always my busy day for posting out orders (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
