Again been pretty busy but not really doing a great deal, I was surprised to discover that one of my photos had been published in the local newspaper (I can cross that off the list) and the £10 book token has arrived. I checked and I actually submitted the photo back in June so guessing they must have had a quiet week.

I have also had confirmation that my subscription to "Your Family Tree" will be starting and my first magazine should arrive in about two weeks – this is going to save me £64.87 as the subscription did not cost me anything as I used my Tesco vouchers. I am still undecided if I will go to the trouble of making Christmas cards this year as I really don't know if I will have the time – will check my crafting supplies and maybe just mass produce one or two designs!

The great clean out '09 is coming along slowly but I expected that and have not even began to look at getting rid of any old clothes yet. Last Sunday I cleared out one of my CD holders and just spent some time making sure the CD's were in the correct boxes etc and threw away a lot of old computer CD's. I have however come across spare jewel cases and am still debating throwing these away. A load of 3.5in disks are due to be thrown along with the case they are all stored in – I don't think I will have a need to have them when I don't have any means to read them!

My digital photo archive¹ is coming along well with only a few more old family photos to scan before I have to go on the search for more old photos that I can obtain for the scanning process. I have added one old photo online at a few forums to see if I can obtain any information regarding it – limited success at the moment.

It's not really sunk in yet that it's the 1st November yet and means only one more pay day before Christmas, I have already started thinking about Christmas but I really will have to get started soon with the whole buying and wrapping of gifts.

1. I decided to scan as many old family photos as possible to protect them from the ravages of time [back]
