Lemon_Tree

oh heck Dragon you poor thing, what's going on ?

The_Dragon

Okay things have improved slightly , so I am planning on doing stuff next week (the house makes a hovel look like a show home :eek::eek::eek:), Dr Dragon is off in a weeks time and he will do the heavy cleaning (mopping the floors, vacuuming etc - the stuff that is very hard to do on crutches!)

1. Loo
2. Bathroom sink
3. Kitchen sink
4. Stove top
5. Bath
6. Finish mitt #1
7. Start mitt #2
8. File Art of Crochet
9. File crochet patterns
10. Bottle wine and sloe gin
11. Read library book
12. Clear sofa
13. Go to CS
14. Filing
15. Shopping list
16. Shopping
17. Laundry
18. Laundry away
19. Dust tv
20. Dust top of speakers
21. Dust stereo
22. Try and translate sweater pattern

This is what I want to get done - some obviously is hard for me (involving standing :mad:) others are a lot more straight forward just take time! (the crochet and the reading for example) - the main thing is to try and get this house sorted!

Finance wise, starting to pay off the CC regularly - each month I have less to clear which is good , but it is going to take a while (and buying Amazon stuff whilst under stress does not help ) give me another couple of months and I can really start hammering away at that I reckon, meanwhile I am wondering about selling some books on Amazon (has any one ever done this?)

i know Pippi has sold lots of books on Amazon you should pop by on her thread she's sure to help with information.
Glad things are a bit better, and every penny off your CC is better than a penny off! I've just had my CC statement and the balance is a fair bit less than it's been off late which means i've more money to put into savings next month

Thanks LT - and yes I am working on that idea as well! and well done you for clearing more of the CC and having some savings!

you're sounding much more positive and well done on the weight loss

Thanks Taxi - still a long haul on the weight loss front (not even lost 10% of what I want to lose yet! :eek:) but getting there

Lemon_Tree

Dragon, i always think that i didn't gain all my weight in 6 months therefore it's unrealistic to expect to lose it all in 6 months. You have done really well, as has Taxi so you should both be proud of yourselves. Oh and you're not far to go to get your 10% of your target!
