    Good Morning diary land

    It's Friday! This week hasn't dragged despite being back to work however when I woke this morning I was cream crackered. I spent 10 minutes looking for something that was in my hand! The kids bickered non stop and I look like you know what. Having said that I am still in a great mood.

    It's quite a blusterly old morning here in the North East abd cooler again. I really felt it when I finally got out of bed. I'm not resorting to heating tho. Heaven forbid!

    I'm going to check my accounts and ebay, see if anything's stirring there.

    Tonight DH fancies going to the local for a meal and a few drinks so I'm seeing if my lovely Mam can sit in, we'll only be a couple of hours, well 3 ish. A nice end to the working week.

    This weekend will see if hunting for logs, adding to our coal supplies and foraging for blackberries. I will be making some home made soups and jams too so a productive weekend I hope. Tho life does have a way of changing any plans I make :D

    Thank you :D

    I've been having a mulling things over day today. One outcome of this is to set myself a challenge for August's pay which is now in my signature. Bear in mind Aug's pay is through the actual month of Sept so I have until Sept 25th (next pay day) to complete this. I don't know if it's too much or too little, but it's a start and whatever I "earn" will go to CCV.
    Been nominated for an ice bucket challenge :/

    Great news - sometimes you go ages with nothing and then they all come at once. I am getting Amazon vouchers now and going to use for xmas pressies.

    I've had a lovely catch up with an old friend today - she said she's missed me and my focus and determination. That was a huge compliment - there's only 2 people who know about my situation and she is one of them so it was nice to talk freely and not to a computer screen lol.

    There's biscuits at work - free foodand my fave too - ginger snaps.

    DS first day of school today - so far so good!

    My mobile died a death last night and it's not due for replacement until next year! So I am having to find a spare at no cost.

    We had a lovely weekend and I have a huge haul of brambles from it meaning there's a baking and jam making session tonight (I've never made jam myself, only done it in a breadmaker before).

    Had a sale on eBay making £19 on a doll's house and few quid on clothes. We bought the kids their winter boots tho so I need to balance that out.

    Happy September everyone!
