    I think the going rate around here is £4 for the outside. I would not be paying the £15 either. I understand it is for charity, but not everyone has that kind of money. x

    Starting afresh.

    This is why charity chuggers annoy me, not everyone can afford to give to charity but many will feel embarassed to say no and end up giving money they can't afford.

    Just a quick stop off . Have gone into panic mode , still lots to do and feeling rather overwhelmed with it all.

    Tomorrow I am starting early and aim to have my suitcase down from the top of the wardrobe by evening time .

    Having a very early night , will update over the weekend .

    Well what a busy week it was, work was majorly busy , causing me to be tired when I got home so I achieved not much . Went out Wednesday night straight from work with another friend . Just one more social event next Tuesday then that's it before hols.

    Yesterday DGD wasn't well , wouldn't eat not like her at all. Sounded like she smoked when she was coughing. Anyway DD took her to the doctors and she has chest infection so got antibiotics. Hopefully she should perk up now .

    Today has all been about normal weekend chores . Went shopping but was mindful of not needing much food . Have parents for Sunday lunch tomorrow.

    Then I have written the list to beat all my lists for all things that need doing this week . I got the suitcase out and tried on all the things I think I would like to take . It needs condensing down a bit more . Found my hand luggage case and back pack so feel ever so more organised than last night.

    I had a visit from my lovely male friend who I would love to run of in to the sunset with , but he doesn't feel the same . He is a fantastic friend and still makes my tummy flip after 8 years of knowing him. The one who got away I am afraid.

    Anyway back to reality and best get on with the list. My mum and dad are giving me my birthday present tomorrow, no idea what it will be.

    Enjoy the evening.
