    I have

    1) pay £10 off my overdraft - done
    2) have an extra 10 mins walk at lunchtime
    3) spend 10 mins decluttering my desk - done
    4) do 10 mins work on one of the OpenLearn courses I've been looking at
    5) do 10 positive things - 1) Shared happiness project site link 2) Made a donation to a charity that means a lot to me

    Must admit I am struggling to think of 8 more positive things - any ideas?

    Luc I am sure that your OH will be fine, I would feel exactly the same as you though:grouphug:

    You will have a wonderful evening I am sure Sally with all of that adult "conversation":D

    I have 17 people arriving for a BBQ at 4.30pm and its raining:mad:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Well paying £10 off the OD and decluttering the desk are 2 more;)
    Being on here and being so nice about the HUbbles thing is 3
    When you go for your walk that'll be four and the OL course will be 5 so only 3 more to think of

    You could text OH/Mum a nice message 'just because', compliment a colleague...

    No but we have a sun room and the roof goes over the patio a bit, that will have to do for the BBQ if the rain continues and they will have to eat indoors.

    most of them are teenagers so I dont suppose they will mind anyway......Sun is out now!
