Good news ladies - I got him cooking and had a lovely mince, tatties and puff pastry dinner (which tasted even better as the mince was 50%)  Tonight he is making chicken curry

Late post from me today as hubby and I have been enjoying some time together. We treated ourselves to breakfast at Brewers Fayre (all you can eat for £10.99 a person) and took full advantage eating pretty much our body weights in bacon and eggs (not to mention toast, cereal, yogurts, fruit juice) and then we have finally got around to buying quits, covers and a few other little bits for the van from Asda where I used £20 of vouchers from my rewards app. Its been a lovely day.

I have managed to squeeze a few money saving bits in as well and whilst my lovely hubby cooks dinner I hope to get another couple of bits done too so here's my list for today.

So today I WILL:-

1. Play on Mistplay (126 points target) - 47 points so far
2. Watch videos on WeR8 - DONE 4 videos watched for 32p
3. Sort and declutter more of our bedroom - DONE three boxes under the bed sorted through with some things thrown away, some things added to the pile to donate to village jumble sale and a few things I will list on FB marketplace to hopefully sell
4. Put away my clean clothes mountain currently in our hallway 
5. Comment on in search of posts to hopefully get some more orders 
6. Write and schedule rest of social media posts for May
7. Design business card for neighbour (freebie so she can wait if I don't get time)
8. Post in three FB groups to hopefully get some interest in my items
9. Give prices for stickers following on from enquiry  
10. Check free postcode lottery, winadinner and freemoji - DONE not a winner 
11. Complete Prime Opinion survey
12. List something on FB Marketplace
13. Finish colour cube type idea
14. Create a new item to sell using clipart from membership
15. List something on Etsy to help refresh my shop 
16. Create an item from the teddy bears I bought for 50p each a while ago
17. Take a course from a paid membership
18. Research Etsy gift mode and tweak listings to see if this will give me extra exposure
19. Look at SEO report from website and make small improvement
20. Finish tidying craft room
21. Action one thing on my business growth list

That is fantastic news, hopefully he now realises that on the days you are at work and he is home he should be cooking everybody's evening meal.

Sounds like you've had a nice couple of days off cooking and a meal out today - fab!

Good afternoon everyone.

I'm enjoying a little bit of a lazy day again today (I feel shattered so I think I must be getting close to that time of the month) so we are just chilling and enjoying the sunshine. I have managed a few bits already but honestly I'm not sure if I have the energy or commitment to do much else today  

I'll put up a list and hope that it motivates me to get my bottom in gear and actually achieve something but only time will tell  

So today I MIGHT:-

1. Play on Mistplay (126 points target) - 92 points so far
2. Watch videos on WeR8 - DONE one videos available and watched for 8p  
3. Sort and declutter more of our bedroom - DONE two more boxes under bed sorted out and got a few thigs to sell and another black bag full of rubbish which we will take to the tip later today  
4. Put away my clean clothes mountain currently in our hallway 
5. Comment on in search of posts to hopefully get some more orders 
6. Write and schedule rest of social media posts for May
7. Design business card for neighbour (freebie so she can wait if I don't get time)
8. Post in three FB groups to hopefully get some interest in my items
9. Give prices for stickers following on from enquiry  
10. Check free postcode lottery, winadinner and freemoji - DONE not a winner  
11. Complete Prime Opinion survey
12. List something on FB Marketplace - DONE 5 things listed (2 x MYO teddy Bear, Board Game, Baseballcap, Friends photo frame and dress (all brand new) - £28 if they all sell for what I have put them up as - fingers crossed  
13. Finish colour cube type idea
14. Create a new item to sell using clipart from membership
15. List something on Etsy to help refresh my shop 
16. Create an item from the teddy bears I bought for 50p each a while ago
