    Thanks Earthgirl, it was a good event but a long one - I also got 3 new Customer Club members signed up so that is always a bonus at these events :D

    Todays event wasn't amazing - I covered the table cost and got 2 more customer club members though so that was nice :D

    Other than that I have spent today watching the marathon, watching football, making dinner and just had my bath.

    So two weeks now - stuck to my calories and haven't bitten my nails. Feeling very proud ;) :)My nails are nos just getting to the stage of a normal nail-biters nails - they were so short before that it was often painful.

    Now I'm in bed with the laptop and will be working on the end of month banking stuff. I will need to do more tomorrow as some money still needs to come out of my main account and I can't remember how much, so will need to see when it's updated tomorrow.

    And its the weekend again, this has been a real slog to get here this week, no idea why but it has really dragged badly this week.

    So, quick update on my week; work has been fine, dull but fine. I have done some unplanned shopping, (mainly bras), but am watching the budgets this month so will rein it in again now.

    Tonight I have made £10 on a matched bet and £4 from a Pinecone survey. Tomorrow I have another craft fair for the day, ds is at his Grandparents for the weekend so I will chill out all day while I'm there then I have the rest of the weekend to think about housework etc.

    The free card offer has now ended but this month they have hit us with another stonking offer, this time it's for anyone who may be interested in joining as a partner - it's the best joining deal the company has ever done; basically you choose your starter pack (£45, £90 or £200) and you get a voucher for the same value to spend on Christmas stock - so for example, if you went for the £200 pack, you get stock in it worth £368 retail value & £60 in sales aids (leaflets, brochures etc), then a voucher for £200 of Christmas stock worth £368 retail, so in total worth £796!! There are some t & c's, basically you need to order 216 cards across June & July - this sounds like a lot but really isn't. Anyway, if anyone is curious or would like more details (no obligation :D), please send me a message or check out my facebook page x There are no monthly targets and you can run your business your way :)

    In other news - Mr S has been chatting with me again most days, and I somehow agreed to a date with his housemate who is a mate of his that he used to work with. That was supposed to happen tonight but the mate decided it would be too weird what with my ex living with him so has backed out. I was a bit disappointed as his mate is very cute, but then today at work a colleague was asking me if I'm still single as she has a friend who she wants to pair up with someone, so there may be a blind date in the offing there. Apparently he's a year older than me, was an assistant head in a school but quit education and now works in forensics, he likes walking his dog and loves football :D I'll keep you posted ;)

    Hmm, not the greatest craft fair today - they were charging an entry fee and that massively reduced the number of people coming in :cool:

    But, in fabulous news, Bournemouth beat Spurs in the 91st minute, so I'm very very happy tonight :D

    After the fair I have done 2 loads of washing, stripped and remade both beds, cleaned both bedrooms and tidied up downstairs.

    Tomorrow I need to go for a run, do some food shopping and then do some more housework. Ds is coming home tomorrow teatime too.
