    Well I can relate to your bad night Bob, my night on Saturday sounds similar although my DH was the culprit not a mouse! You've been busy today, well done on your achievements xx

    Thanks Mummytogirls let's hope we both get some shut eye tonight:D

  • HI ya, hope you're OK and dd is feeling better it hard functioning when one of the little ones is poorly and you're not getting much sleep.


    Any sightings of little creatures in the kitchen? We had a mouse once we could hear it scratching about the house and follow it's path. It's no longer with us!


    Debt busting is looking good, fingers crossed for all the potential bookings coming through.


    Hope you've had a good day, H x

    Huggle wondered where you'd been. Disappeared into a work shaped hole again? Will pop by your diary to find out :)

    No sign of the mouse. Maybe the cat has already turned it into a tasty snack:rotfl:

  • Yes work has taken over again but I'll be off for most of half term week, looking forward to that!

    Glad the mouse has gone into hiding, or someone's belly!

    Good Evening

    Hope everyone is doing ok.

    Wealth

    * Didn't get the film work :( but I shall add 'this time' to that sentence and hope for future ops.

    * Did get two new bookings today. This has added £175 in deposits to Feb's scoreline plus roughly same again for the events themselves. Both the bookings are to really nice people too which is always a cheery thing.

    * Two other enquiries came in today so things are staying good on that side. I have bookings now into the middle of May.

    * Another £20 recieved in the bank account today.

    * CB in the account today so moved that across.

    * Not so good, my eBay sale has been complained about. First time I've ever had this. Trying to negotiate with them for a partial refund rather than a total one. We shall see.

    * Cashed in a £2.50 nectar reward.

    * Revenue so far for February is £980. It would be great to double that. I can see a target coming on :)

    Health

    * Made smoothies for the kids dessert. Finished some off myself. I don't eat enough fruit these days. But do eat onions and carrots in most meals. And a salad each night.

    * Walked my long school run walk. I'm gradually getting faster. Got it down to just under an hour today. DD normally naps then anyway and I love the thinking time. There are a couple of good hills on route which always feel good to really throw myself up.

    * My MIL has to go into hospital for a procedure tomorrow. Hope she will be ok.

    Organisation

    * Used up two bananas in the smoothies.

    * Chasing up lose ends for the account switch.

    * Reciepts cleared from purse.

    Right, doing bacon and leek risotto for dinner :)

    Bob
