Not at all. That's what children used to do. I remember my Granny helping me to knit scarves and gloves and socks for family Christmas presents. I think we should all get back to doing this. And to receive a card that a child has made is worth more than the most expensive one you could buy.I've tied in the making of the gifts and cards etc with the activity a day Sort of cheating I guessHave adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.1 -

Well today turned into a long day. Finally waiting for my taxi to take me home. Was dark when I came out and dark when I'm going home boo. Totally lost a day.
Managed to watch the F1 though - Brilliant result for the last race of the season. Countdown to March now
No more painting tonight. Shower and fall into the sofa
Only spends have been taxi's and a coffee Another coffee in a paper cup and not worth the £2! “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Got home and fell asleep before I even did anything!
Guess that's what good pain relief does to you
I'm just having a coffee in the hope I wake up enough to get some jobs done x “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
When I was on the cocodamol they used to make me feel really relaxed and sleepy. Can see why people get addicted to them.
If you don't get the jobs done today, there's always tomorrow.

Cocodamol just makes me feel sick but I do agree. “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
