My Mortgage Free Mountain - A 7 year expedition to climb to the top

~FlowerPot~

good morning Crafting, Im so sorry you are hurting even more, but its not surprising you took a nasty tumble. Glad your being sensible with a MIght do list rather than and to do list . I think you should ask your son to cook tea tonight, it would be good practice. It only has to be something simple like pasta and sauce.

Nurse Flowers still saying rest ~ I know its not within your nature to sit down, so, are there any little jobs that you could do whilst sitting down??? sewing? reading?

Take care

Sorry but unsurprised you're in more pain. Very saddened by the lack of support from your family.

Could your son take the dog for a walk?

Sadly he was out at his girlfriends for most of the day so I was home alone as hubby was at work

I really need to try and rest but it appears its not in my nature to do so  

Thank you for caring about me x

I promised I tried to be really good yesterday. I sat in a chair and sorted through a few things and actually managed to get quite a lot done considering and am feeling a bit better today

I treated us to a takeaway last night too so that made me feel much better and no effort was required  

Thank you for caring about me x

Morning all.

I think I'm feeling a bit better today. Still aching and lots of bruises but not as hurting as yesterday so fingers crossed I will be back to my normal self very soon. I'm really not enjoying taking things easy at all  

We had a sneaky little Chinese take away for dinner last night and it was delicious - just what the doctor ordered Sadly there was not much left for me to eat for lunch today but I will see if I can eak it out and get something from it  

One of the people on FB Marketplace got back to me and paid instantly so I will get the item ready to post off to her so I can take it to the post office tomorrow along with my orders. I also managed to sell £4.50 from a post I put out in a group so although tiny amounts it all helps and it gets them out of my house so its helping me declutter as well  

I've got nothing planned again today apart from taking/collecting son from work and hubby has said he is only working a half day today so we shall hopefully get to take the dog out for a walk together this afternoon.  I promise I am going to try and rest as much as I can again today but I do want to try and sort a little bit more of my craft room and ideally get my Etsy orders made and ready to post so I can buy the postage from the funds I have in that account before being paid by them tomorrow  

Other than that just some pottering and resting planned so a very uneventful day hopefully  

So today I MIGHT:-

1. Play on Mistplay (126 points target) - 57 points today so far

Morning all.

Me thinks I might have done a little too much yesterday as I'm back to aching all over again  
At least I have no plans today. The only things I must do are buy and print my Etsy shipping labels and get my completed orders to the Post Office so if that is all I achieve today it won't be a massive failure (I need to keep repeating this in my head).  I've got Nurse Flowers wise words about sitting down jobs swirling around today so most of my list will be bottom based I hope and I'll still be able to get some bits done and feel like I am making a difference  

The weather seems a bit wild here today as well (very windy and a little moist) so probably will only have a quick dog walk today as she is very much a fine weather dog) That suits me just fine  

It's Etsy payday today so hopefully that will give me a little bit of a boost and make me feel like progress is being made as I currently feel like we have stalled. I think maybe it is because we are tackling the largest mortgage now so I will have to remember to keep in my mind that we have already achieved so much in just over one year already and know It's a marathon - not a sprint  

Thankfully my mum and dad sent a birthday card for hubby which arrived on Saturday as that has reminded me that it is hubbies birthday tomorrow so as we don't do gifts I will make him a lovely shepherds pie for dinner I think so must go shopping for food either today or tomorrow. 

So today I MIGHT:-

1. Play on Mistplay (126 points target) - 2 points today so far 
2. Package Etsy orders and print postage labels before money leaves my account - DONE Leaves me with £173 coming my way later today by way of Etsy payday  
3. Check and see if cheque has cleared and if so transfer into savings account - DONE £6.90 transferred into OP savings account  
4. Transfer Etsy earnings into savings account - DONE £173.81 transferred into OP savings account  
5. Drop round sample wedding invites - DONE Hopefully this will mean I will get paid my £55 soon  
   
6. Make up jewellery planner for order received on website and post off along with bracelets - had to contact customer about the design she wanted so cannot post until I hear from her
7. Design and print 10 sheets of stickers for order received yesterday - DONE  
8. Package up FB Marketplace order - DONE  
9. Package up reusable fabric gift bag for FB order - DONE  
10. Post in three FB groups to hopefully get more orders 
11. Make birthday card for hubby
12. Post office run to drop off 7 orders - DONE
13. Meal plan for week and write shopping list - DONE I will go shopping tomorrow so I can pick up a cheesecake and birthday cake for hubby too
14. Two loads of washing on quick washes and dry on airers inside - two loads done and pegged outside to take advantage of the wind - fingers crossed they will dry quite quickly if they stay on the line  I'm chancing a third load too in the machine now - wish me luck
15. Comment on In search of posts to hopefully get a few more orders
16. Write remaining social media posts for February and schedule - all but one post written now and I've schedule all this weeks posts too  
17. Make something new to sell in Etsy shop - DONE I've utilised some wooden bees I have loads of and made some will you BEE my bridesmaid, godparent etc little token gifts)
18. Look for Scan and Shop booklet and scanner 
19. Read through make £5 a day thread and see if I can get any ideas on new money making opportunities
