Well I'm cheerful - but the sun's not shining :rotfl:

Currently trying to figure out how to make Mr Cheery's 100 page photo book before the last order date of Wednesday... :eek: Fortunately pictures are pretty organised, but even so :eek:

I feel your pain on that one Cheery - photobooks against deadlines are an utter pain!

The PDF for the Flylady steps is FAR easier that constantly having to go back and forth on the website isn't it! I confess that I haven't actually worked through them all methodically - decided at the start that definitely wouldn't suit me as there are two many airy-fairy (and let's face it, VERY American!) days in there where I would never have actually done what she was suggesting, and would have lost momentum as a result - but I have definitely adopted the general idea of the thing again and yes, no question, it DOES work. My big issue is that I really want to be tidy, but I also quite like "stuff" - and the two things struggle to meet. My friend summed it up brilliantly about himself earlier in the year when he said - in answer to my comment that I'd always had him down as a total neat-freak - that yes, he was, but he was a hoarder with a neat-freak desperately trying to escape! :rotfl:

Grrr, just wrote a giant post then closed the compter before it had posted. Idiot! :eek: :rotfl:

Anyway, I was just saying each to their own with the flylady thing - right now I need explicit instructions!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

And I was saying REMIND ME next time I am too stingy to pay £60 for a train ticket that spending 9 hours out of 24 driving on my own in the dark and rain down the motorway is NO FUN and to just cough up the train fare!! :rotfl:

Also wittered on about how much I spent but have just realised I'd used my £2 coin savings which were £42, and spent £44 :j :j

For that I got

- pair of Fly London ankle boots
- Burgundy Boden skirt
- green Next cardi
- black long sleeved t shirt
- black and white smart top
-bonkers black and grey trousers
- 2 pairs of rudolf earrings :j
- black velvety jacketNot too bad a haul! :j Stupid phone misbehaving ao going to go before it starts typing backwards again... :rotfl:
- purple cardi

Ooh, and Icame home to a parcel :j LOVE a parcel :j :j This was a book I won in a competition run by the professional association I joined for the sole purpose of putting that I was a member on my job application :j They're actually very cheery and I've learned loads already :rotfl:

Anyway, won a book, they emailed to ask if it arrived but it hadn't, so they've sent another one, and told me to give the first one away if it turns up :j Tis a collection of essays by people who do jobs similar to the one I just got, writing about their jobs :rotfl: Figured it would come in handy :rotfl:

that reminds me I've just had a reminder email for a STEM lecture this Thursday entitled "Scribbles, scrawls and algal balls: I can’t help being a scientist"
I hope I don't fall asleep like I did at the last lecture about 'the many faces of Carbon'.

Set the whole place on fire. Save you a job and keep you warm at the same time :rotfl:

:eek: starnac: :rotfl: Good suggestion Cheery office pal has to stay in it though so I shan't be setting it on fire :rotfl:

Pretty sorted now :j Did most of the noisy/moving stuff today as office pal is in the next 2 days, so Wed and Thurs will all be about deleting and archiving stuff on the computer etc. And eating cakes And drinking Mind you, managed a glass of champagne at lunchtime today, and another one at 4pm! :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

NEARLY finished the photo book :eek: WEll, up to 2010, that's nearly 2015, right?! :rotfl:

:eek:

Thought the deadline was midnight on the 16th, but it was actually midnight on the 15th...

I would have made it as well if it hadn't taken 25 minutes to upload to the something-or-other, and then another 25 minutes to upload to somewhere else :mad:

Ah well, missed cut off by 24 minutes so fingers crossed they take pity on me and I still get it before Christmas! :eek: but it's hardly the end of the world if not

They were right though - order price was £76 :eek: but my £20 voucher made it £0 :money:

Right - bed!
