  • all fall down…


I managed to take a tumble, so much for getting back on my feet :doh:  twisted ankle, twisted knee and bruised back - serves me right for picking an argument with the stairs :ashamed:
Aside from that work is hectic and I’m slowly overhauling my life, I’m having a clear out and selling some things on eBay, sending others to the charity stores  or giving away things to friends if they want them,
I had am amusing hair-dye failure when I attempted home-highlighting, cue a hasty dye cover up which means the hair is now red -- not quite what I wanted but better than patchy hair the same colour as my cat :o
I’ve got my new glasses and interestingly enough my sight has marginally IMPROVED, this is interesting as past few times I have entered an opticians ( i.e. being MADE to go)  its been poorer vision and the possibility of eventually loosing sight - so that’s one thing that’s looking up :D

I’m away for the weekend wish me luck it’s a friend’s 40th Birthday party :party:

  • so many ideas...


I mentioned my overly full notebook, I’ve started tackling it and trying to get those ideas in it typed up and recorded down in a way that is easier for me to read than my wonderful scrawl that I call handwriting,
The piggy tutorial is in progress :la:

Happy to hear things are picking up a little for you :)  I can donate 500 points to the contest, and I will let you decide how to divide them up for the prize levels.  Just let me know if and when it is set up and how you need the points. I can give them directly to you, or to the prize winners. However you like.
