Argh it's monday again.. how about a little DFW positive thinking?

I hate mondays. No particular reason as I'm on maternity leave and not working.. but there's just something about mondays...
So.. I had an idea that every monday we could have a thread solely for people to put what they're looking forward to this week to get some positive thinking going...

Anyway... I'll start..

What I have to look forward to this week:
  • The possibility of going into labour at any time.
  • Midwife appointment tomorrow so get to see if anything is imminent.
  • DH has a day off tomorrow so I'll actually have someone to talk to!
  • Tax credits going in on weds so I can transfer them into the debt savings account! :T
  • Taking my daughter to toddler group on thursday meaning I'll get out of the house.. lol.
  • Saturday is DH and I's 5 year 'being together' anniversary but haven't got anything planned because of the possibility of me going into labour! lol!
Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

    Lovely idea.......it's always worth taking a few minutes out to think about the good things that we're looking forward to.

    I'm looking forward to:

    - Payday on Friday
    - New doors being fitted on Saturday
    - Lots of cuddles from DH & DS

    That's about it this week, but I think we should do this every week!

  • Great idea though I'm not sure I would have listed going into labour as something to look forward to :eek:

    Anyway I have nothing so exciting or life changing on my list but in the spirit of positive thinking I am looking forward to:

    - calling Egg to cancel my credit card account
    - receiving a statement from Marbles which should show zero balance (some of this was a balance transfer but the significance is that is was the last of my cards at a normal rate of interest - everything else is now 0% or a "low" interest rate)
    - seeing the total on my Olympic Challenge increase
    - reading other DFWs positive posts

    - Seeing my fella on the weekend
    - Seeing my family during the week.
  • I'm looking forward to
    - fewer calls from creditors now that PayPlan is kicking in,
    - a less hectic week at work seeing as my boss is at a conference for a week,
    - my boyf treating me (just a little bit, honest!) with the money he's earning from his new job,
    - erm... some new people moving into the CBB house... :whistle:

    P.S. immoral_angeluk, good luck with the labour... sooo exciting when you're this close :D

    Things to look forward to:

    erm... can't really think of anything exciting and thrilling... erm erm...

    tidying my room and sleeping in clean sheets
    getting that blasted door handle on bathroom which has provided me with many a lock-in and/ or embarrassing situations!

    Gosh I sound boring!
