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:
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!

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!"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
- Receiving my ebay payments
- Two mystery shops planned (My first ones!)
- Getting my haircut (so I can actually SEE!)

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 posts0 -
- Getting through the week without spending much money
- Having the remainder of the nice food left in my fridge from cooking nice meal for fella last weekend
- Seeing my fella on the weekend
- Seeing my family during the week.0 -
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 closeProud to be dealing with my debts:dance:

Things to look forward to:

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!

Lovely idea for a thread!
I'm looking forward to it being one day/week (delete as applicable!) closer to pay day which means it is one day/week closer to me paying off my Tesco VISA balance woooohooooooo!!! :j :jBank Balance: In the black for the moment.
