fairyclicks

HI everyone!!!!


Sorry i have been really lax about writing up my steps this month - i have finally got some more meds from doc so hopefully that will help me get back up to being able to do stuff a bit more again! I will do some counting of over the next few days and try to get back on track with that too i promise

Thanks for all the msgs about feeling better too - its been lovely of you all to think about me

A very big thank you to everyone who has voted for our fishy forum as well - we managed to move up from number 28 to number 13 on the list so all your voting has really really helped.

We are now trying to by pass someone else on the list who has been slagging us off and telling lies about us on their forum - some people are just mean aren't they? so if you haven't voted yet or if you feel like voting again (it will register once per day) to help us the thread for the link is

So what are these swagbucks then? I might join if its any good. gald to hear that you are back and in recovery Vintage, I hope that you feel yourself soon. I love the buses that go round all the pretty villages, as long as i know theyre going to do it and Im not in a hurry. Got on the wrong bus once that took 2hrs to get from Durham to Newcastle, I think I saw the whole county!! Still, it was pretty..and i was pretty late home too. haha!
Slowdown, well done for not eating too many cakes, you will have burnt them off with your walking I am sure anyway You made me chuckle, i have the same thing, a terrible way of celebrating excercise, it usually ends in chocolate or ice cream (sigh, oh well) Were the jam tarts ones you had made at home the other day? Ooh I guess I should put mondays list of positives up...
(By the way, I apologise for the lack of apostrophes, for some reason everytime I try to use one it brings up "quick links" at the bottom of my browser and wont let me use them!! Grr!! really strange and really starting to annoy me, I have lost this post twice already because of it!! Ok, sorry for the rant, positives now)
1. Made nice new flyers for one of my classes
2. Got a nice lunch for tomorrow in Mr W.rose with some sarnies that were reduced to 30p
3. Got my hair cut and coloured for free (groupon voucher that was a bday pressie)
4. Got some bits for my present hampers that I am making
5. Looked into starting my new Friday class in January

No they have a fish forum and they have been just saying nonsense about our fish - making out we are not keeping them properly etc - its rather upsetting as we work really hard at keeping them in top condition :mad: they are obviously just trying to ruin our reputation as we are competing with them now!! I mean competition is part of business but i hate it when people start playing dirty tricks like that

Yey! back from hospital, going to look for the positives of today, here goes
1. The hospital provided free transport home so didn't have to pay for a taxi, i didn't know they did this?
2. Caught the bus there at £4.20 instead of £16.00 on the train
3. 2 NSD's
4. No more buying paracetamol in bulk
5. Having heard myself mutter Oliver style 'Please sir can I have some more morphine', things you thought you'd never say!

Don't feel too ill at the mo, told it will feel worse before it feels better though, thanks for all the well wishes xxx

Welcome back vintage! hope you don't feel too bad with it :cool:

suzitiger

Oh yes that is nasty and underhand isn't it. Competition is healthy and keeps you on your toes, that's how they SHOULD view it Shame they can't handle it. I just tried to reply to ur Pm fairyclicks but it says ur inbox is full so i couldn't send it I have joined with the link tho

Thanks for starting this thread, fairy, and I would like to join in please.

I've been lacking somewhat in motivation and feeling kinda down lately, so hopefully this will give me a boost.

Will be following Southern Sadie's lead and attempting to do things in each of several categories. Mine will be finances (as in, saving and managing £), MPCs (making £, more below), DH (eg. making him proper lunches!), health (exercise, etc), home (as in tidying, organising and cleaning, which I am rubbish at!).

MPC = multiple profit centre. The term is from a book I read ages ago called Making a Living Without a Job. Basically an MPC is an income source, so my MPCs may be surveys, my websites, competitions, cashback sites, GPT sites, and so on. The idea is that some MPCs you can get set up, then they will generate income without too much further effort. Like setting up a website, for example.

Anyhoo, I will try for a minimum of SIX positive things per day, let's see how it goes!

Slowdown

Can I just say I am so impressed with you all doing so many extras to make more money. You have a huge amount of creativity among you. Its like you could run a mini country all on your own!
Today my positive things were
17. only ate one cake at work again today
18. went for a walk at lunch time
19. had a NSD (3 in a row, minor miracle)
20. meditated in the car to beautiful music while DS1 finished rugby practise
21. read all your posts and enjoyed seeing you all be so successful
22. still didn't put the heating on (Ha Ha Mr B.Gas)
23. smiled at my boss(this took effort and determination)

Cor! This is really starting to make me feel better. I am even going out of my way to try and do a positive thing just so I can add it to my list!
Have a great day tomorrow everyone. And yes suzitiger the jam tarts were my own creation. (someone has to eat them!)
Kind regards
Slowdown:)
