    Doesn't have to be a big thing - giving a loved one a cuddle is positive and makes their life better...

    Putting a penny into a savings/debt payment jar is small but doable...

    Doing 10minutes exercise isn't going to put your plans off track...

    Lots of small things add up over time ;)

    1) I am looking at the words inscribed on one of the beads on my bracelet (I'm collecting them for every half stone I lose ;) ) and today I am going to follow the words 'live, love, laugh' to the max :D

    2) keep smiling at OH even though he said exactly what I thought he would about getting the job and deciding not to pursue the other one if I get an interview. He doesn't like smiling when he's trying to put me down ;)

    3) Give Charlie a cuddle and tell him how much I love him and his furryness :D

    4) Keep everything positive thinking for the scales to say the same or similar on Sunday as they do today ;)

    5) Enjoy the choices I am making to lose weight and see CD as liberating me (I love my chocolate shakes!)

    6) Fully live everything that happens today. It's going to be a good one :D

    7) Plan (in my head at least) my new budget now I'm changing jobs

    8) Get rid of a few more bits of clothing into the 'too big' bag, there are a couple of new contendors

    9) Follow my sig to the word

    10) Be excited for Sally and her wonderful new life starting today (I am sooo excited for you Sal!)

    11) See today as another small step towards success in different areas of my life

    12) Smile and be friendly to whoever I meet today.

    13) HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D






    Hello lovely peeps, I think this is going to be a great Friday 13th for everyone :D
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    3) have just put £1 in Beas piggy bank...its a start to paying her back the £250 I borrowed from her savings and as I am debt free now I have no excuse!
    4) have just booked to go bowling this afternoon with R's children...thought I should do something nice with them that they would enjoy as I have them and B all afternoon :eek:
