Oh, I forgot to do the squats over the weekend. There was supposed to be a rest day, but it turned into 2! I'm better at this stuff Mon-Fri anyway as I'm usually pretty active at weekends.

So I'm back on it today and have done the allocated 70.

Also done some girly push ups and some bingo wing exercises.

Well done you .

I know what you mean about weekends - my legs are aching from a stint in the garden - I'd almost forgotten that ache and I quite like it .

Well done jwil!
Well, I started off great this morning, but by lunchtime I felt awful and at 1.45 I gave in and had a lemsip and went back to bed for a couple of hours. I slept-so I must have needed it.
I do feel better for having had extra sleep, but hoping I feel much better after a good nights sleep...on the downside, this means I didn't get half as many jobs done as I intended.
On a positive note Mr tc is out on business tomorrow so I should get a lot more done in a lot less time than if he were here! men seem to have a great habit of getting under your feet-well, my man always seems to manage it. I love him dearly, however... Lol

Hope you are feeling better tomorrow, TC and that you get everything done that you need to. If you need a nice relaxing day doing nothing, then take it, I am formally giving you permission on behalf of the universe .

Hope you are feeling better tattycath I know what you mean about getting more done when DH isn't around - I'm exactly the same! I'm not even sure what it is that slows me down when he's there!

Peaceandfreedom - I know what you mean about that ache - it's definitely a satisfying one!

Hey everyone.

I've still got quite a bit of packing to do today from the weekend's ebay sales. Hopefully that won't take too long. I've also got to go to the post office with a couple of lots, so I'll get that done later this afternoon.

I also sold a couple more items overnight so that can be added as well. Not sure I'm going to be able to make much in the way of payments now this month, I'm running out of cash and still have a couple of outgoings to cover.

It's payday next Friday, can't wait!

Done today's squats (75).

If I manage to get the packing done relatively quickly, I'll try and get a couple of items on this afternoon.

A few more books ticked off my list. (Did anyone notice that I picked quite a few short books so that I could get through them quickly ) It's all decluttering though!

I've just finished 'Elizabeth is Missing'. It was a freebie I was sent for an online book club. It's not a book I'd ordinarily read but it was very good. It was written from the perspective of a character with dementia. It's not a condition that I've ever had any experience with so whilst I had a basic understanding, the book has really opened my eyes to what it might be like living with it and how frustrating it must be to care for someone with it.

All packing done and the post office run completed.

I've only listed one item, but it's something at least.

Have sold another item, and that came through with enough time to go today as well. I've got one item going out later and that's at a decent price so I'm happy with that.

jwil

The item I listed earlier has now sold :T :T That was quick, probably less than an hour after I listed it.

Well done on the ebaying and the sales, it all adds up!

Well done jwil!
I have been working hard all day, photographing, editing, listing. Managed to get a couple of dozen listings up-no where near enough, but it's a start.
