    new guy is paying me a certain amount per client that i pass on to him. Its not a lot, as i just was more concerned about timeframe and not letting my lot down, more than making money, but it all helps!!
    He is quite new and very keen to build a practice, so i really hope it works out for him.

    Right, my signature hase been annoying me, as with the challeneges I have either done them or failed to do them for what ever reason, so apart from the declutter one I have removed them. But they don't make it easy on this site do they!!!

  • Yes I got the same offer on those G toiletries they were pretty good! I didn't reorder though I don't think. I had too many other things in and then forgot about them. I don't like shampoo bars full stop but they were okay...... My hair is too thick for them though I would rather just use shampoo from a bottle (am so lazy trying out new products I always seem to just stick with the same old). 

    I hope you're feeling better in yourself now? :heart:

    Hi. Gp app was fine as expected she is asking fir gulf blood to be done and a stool sample ~fun! But wasnt able to book me in and the reception couldn't book me in for some reasons it other, so I need to go back tomorrow! Pleased to go, and fingers crossed we get somewhere. 

    I'm on my own this evening as DH has taken dd to a concert so I decided to get a take out! I don't think I have ever ordered a take out on my own before, not when I've been at home. Seemed very decandent, but it was delicious and also soft enough to eat, my mouth is improving the wound is healing well and the muscle that is stopping me open my mouth is relaxing. And nerve pain much better. So only the toothache on the otherside that is a problem.!!
    Crumbs what a nightmare I am at the moment.
    Anyway, I had a super tea and then did a little healing work. I've started with an animal and it feels like I've made a good connection so pleased about that 

    ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

    Boods booked, earilest 27th nov!!
    Hoo hum!
    Did first 2 patients and the arrived at the  3rd but.she wasnt in! Very unlike this lady, so will re book for next week. CAme home had the curry left overs and as expected DH followed his nose and polished off the leftover leftovers!!! Was still very tasty today!
    Now in bed and resting before 2 more patients at 3.30
    No idea whats for tea DS1 is arriving back today at some point so he will want tea. It might end up being frozen fish and chips, I wont have much energy to cook up much, in fact I might get DS1 to do it. Need to get some veggies.

    Had just decided that I will put my survey money to a specific use and low and behold there are no surveys, well besides one for 25p !!!, Ill keep checking, ooh i did and did a 40p which has paid out and then a £4 with a £3 bonus !!! nice!
