10 positive steps a day Challenge! - November

Slowdown

Suzitiger, the word definitely is a tricky one and often misspelt, infact according to a study almost as often as the word separate. I suspect the word misspelt is up their too!

Ha ha on your Geordie comment. I suspect Newcastle is somewhat similar to Essex, only with a brisk north easterly breeze and cheaper beer!

Well done on your up and coming classes. Not easy to increase income on leisure activities during hard economic times so you must be doing something right.

Kind regards
Slowdown:)

Todays positive goals are

• Emailed all my friends to se who wants to join a pub quiz team
• Check out Zumba classes
• Start glossing woodwork in bedroom
• Spend some extra time with son3 as he's feeling a bit down
• Wash bedding, dry it and get it back on the bed so it still smells fresh instead of the sickbed smell I have at the moment
• Make some cupcakes for the kids
• Have a lovely long treaty bath with loads of bubbles

Actually feel like i've turned a bit of a corner today in the throat healing dept, managed to get some sleep last night and feel like I could take on the world this morning if I could only get out of bed, snuggled up with the pup and it seems a shame to move her:o
Have a great day all x

Ohhhh vintage, even though u are poorly it sounds like you are being very productive. Well done you! Thanks Slowdown, i guess its all abouyt word roots isn't it? I will have to remember finite and that should help. I will copy it out 20times. It's funny cuz at school I was rubbish at spelling, but pretty good with everything else, they couldn't understand it. And it was only spelling tests that i went to pieces on, my written work was always ok. Must have been the pressure, i didn't get diagnosed with dyslexia until uni, think it must have been because they thought I couldn't be dyslexic if i LOVED to read. But reading is like a film being played in my mind. English textbooks were, however, NOT like a film that anyone would want to watch lol. Ooh sorry for the random ramble, I will be back later 2day with positives.
Fairyclicks, hope you are O.K by the way, missing seeing you on here.

HHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO ev1 - so sorry for being AWOL for so long! Been having a nightmare lets just say OH been getting threats etc simply for trying to set up a business (competition didn't like it!) anyhoo this is the positives challenge and i do have some

1. I wrote a really powerful statement along with OH about what has been going on and posted it on our fishy forum for all to see - hopefully this will help rebuild OH's reputation

2. Boosted swaggers to 587 points on OH account

3. Played woohoo golds up to 298 - i sooo want to get to 300 but stuck :mad:

4. Attended CMP appointment and managed not to cry at it (i always do cos we talking over hard stuff)

5. Finally told friend that the bank took the money we had raised for a charity donation because of my overdraft issue but am working on saving it up again - was so hard to explain as i was mortified about it

6. Packaged up and posted 24 ebay parcels :eek: so all caught up on there now.

7. Bought a couple of wee stocking fillers

8. I have sewed the head part of the teddy i've been making in my sewing class so its almost finished now

Think thats me for now its so lovely to be back

Glad to see you back Fairy. Sorry to hear you are having a rough time of things and yet.........you still posted many positives. What a smasher you are.
Well I can't think of too many goodies today, especially given I have succumbed to Mr B Gas at last. This is mainly due to the mould growth in the corners of my bedroom which I will personally be tackling at the weekend. Its like some sort of alien life form intent on taking over the world and I shall have to fend it off with my killer bleach spray and my arsenal of spongy weaponry. Still here goes.
62. have kept OD to less than 50 quid so far and only a week until payday
63. didn't moan about work for more than 6 consecutive minutes
64. used up time credits meditating in the car while waiting for DS1

and thats it. Still better than nothing!
Good luck to the rest of you. If like me, you feel like November sucks the life out of you in a similar way to a dementor sucking the life out of Harry Potter, you're going to need it.
Kind regards
Slowdown:)

Thank you! It is an expensive day but well worth it, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. First time in my life I've felt a bit teary with pride! I made some great friends on that course who I will definitely stay in touch with, so it was nice to be with everyone again. And yes, I think everyone feels silly in the gowns, you are forever fiddling with them as they slip off your shoulders all the time!
