Hello...... I have Just one major thing on my list today to help me with dfw status....
Return to the dfw board.
I was frequenting this board about a year ago but then I disappeared some may remember me but I probably wasnt around long enough to make a massive impact lol I disappeared when we had baby no 2 and both lost our jobs
Other things I need to do today is
Surveys to earn some more money and check all my bill payments have gone out
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
Never Look Down on People unless you are helping them up
