    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
