  • Me five positives for today then:

    1. Made a small PAD
    2. Got a personalised mug as xmas present for £1.99, including delivery (yay). I often buy personalised mugs as presents anyway, so this was a great way to save cash
    3. Did about 30 mins tidying, god the house is a mess!
    4. Earned a few more Swagbucks, over 300 now :j
    5. Cheered up OH after he had a rotten day at work.

    Just have to try and get my !!!! into gear tomorrow now, I have done very little all day!

    1. Tidied for one hour
    2. Made a cake
    3. Made a tiny PAD.
    4. Probably had a good four of my 5-a-day
    5. Had lovely cuddle with my OH in bed whilst watching late night trashy tv :D

    • now out of bed and back at work
    • stayed positive at work
    • earned another 50p at valued opinions
    • sewed a cross stitch christmas card

    I don't think anyone is lazy for not posting, more like too busy in fact!
    Your fitness class sounded like a laugh suzitiger. Wish I was closer, then I could attend and that would give everyone a good laugh too! Not very coordinated at the best of times. That's why I do yoga, at least I can keep up with the speed.
    Positives for today
    • saw the most beautiful scenes across the fields in the early morning sunlight on my way to work, gladdened the heart
    • made a hotch potch supper that actually tasted ok
    • stayed calm and positive in the face of grumpy teenage boys
    • had a good parent's evening last night, nobody wanted my head on a plate
    • found a monthly meal planner that might help with my shopping bills and organisation
    Well that will do for now
    Happy days everyone

  • Well done for having a good parents evening Slowdown, that is a rare event in any school I believe. :)
