    Dizzy yes it is friendly. It's a great concept. Even paying 1p off a day can make a difference over time.
    See what you think :)

    CCL poor you. Hope things improve soon.

    Welshkitty wow brilliant news.

    Anymore jobs going seriously had enough of one of my bully bosses, having been there for over 10 years I am the muppet who does everything. GSR you are so right!

    Bob I will definitely Pad in May need to clear cc1 by 1.6.16 can I borrow your giant magnet please?

    Cleared bag of toys to cs today. Friend came around and offered me 2 bunny rabbits, complete with double cage and a run politely refused. Cages and the runs cost them over 200 pounds, even for free not wanting any more mouths to feed and mine bit old for new friends.
    Quick shower before The A word is on.

    Got me another nsd and exercise session.

    Dd is rather battered and bruised after a nasty tumble. Right knee, left hand (both back and palm??!), left hip and left shoulder. We keep finding new scrapes as the more obvious ones settle down. Poor mite, she is in quite a lot of pain, and struggling to fall asleep. I think she will be off school tomorrow...

    Welshkitty - great news re the job!
    Ccl - thinking of you all.
    Dizzy - if bob is on a particular thread, you can be sure it is a friendly one!


    There are some great payments being made. Well done :T. Although I have to put any extra in to savings, for if we need it later on, I cannot stop myself Tilly Tidying, and paying bits off :rotfl:.

    Hello
    Sorry haven't posted for ages - stomach issues are back leaving me bloated and in pain most of the time :( so feeling a bit sorry for myself. Not been to the gym in over a week as I really haven't felt like it but doesn't really help my frame of mind.

    I'm up to 9 NSDs I think, definitely not going to make the target this month but will try for as many as possible.

    ccl - hugs to you, I know how difficult it is living with an OH with MH issues
    apple - poor DD

    Have done some work in the garden - 4 potato bags and twp large plant pots emptied, stones and weeds removed then soil moved across to this season planters. Enough potatoes found to fill a large mushroom box but did not cost me anything.

    Tried to stack two items on top of one another - they were stacked but fell down in the storm a few weeks ago and taking up too much room and partly blocking the gateway. Will have to do it when DS3 can help me as I have scraped my wrist and wrenched my shoulder in a failed attempt (was nearly there and then the underneath one ran away on it's wheels).

    Today I am grateful for
    lovely sunshine and beautiful primroses (fading a little now)
    free potatoes
    feeling like I am getting somewhere (the bit that is done looks good and the table is clearer - made DS3 put things on the table so that I didn't struggle)
    28 more things lined up for the cs but the library bin hasn't been emptied (or it has and has since been refilled - my bag is ready as soon as I see space). Also have a shoebox of small craft items filling slowly.

    Things that make me happy - some reading done, leaving sewing until tomorrow to give the wrist a little healing time.
    My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.

    Yesterday was NSD 13 so a bit of a record to me.
    Today will be a spend day as I organise stuff for my DDs birthday party.
    Feeling a bit miserable today. Work 2 gave me a worrying feeling of it not lasting long and my manager in my current job hasn't bothered sending in the reference she was asked for 2 months ago, so I feel a bit of a fraud, and angry that yet again she has failed me making me feel more resentful of work 1.
    Not sure how to pull myself out of this but I will try, have a good day everyone.

    Thanks GSRcat printed it off and will try that, sounds even easier than soya tofu. Hope your job worries are unfounded.

    Misstara hope you feel better soon and welsh kitty great news re job.

    Not a SFD today as I just paid the man who fixed our washing machine, call out and new brushes for £58.50.

    Had a good evening yesterday, got the bottom of the house hoovered and brushed, started touching up the paint in the kitchen, started new seedlings and a few other little things. Also finished another part of a crochet project and started the last bit (making 5 little monsters and a cave for a friends daughter)

    LO pasta for lunch today after my swim. Cant wait to get home and stick a washing on ;)

    Been naughty and just booked a hairdressers appointment for next week. Not been for over two months and my bob starts to look rather untidy and is an awkward length.

    EDIT just cancelled that and will try a new hairdresser :eek: for almost half the price tomorrow :D
