It's snowing here too, Yipeee! :j I love the snow. I am feeling much better today, the cold is on its way out methinks. Today so far I have..
1. Tidied the house
2.Done some washing
3. Cleared out lots more stuff to put on ebay
4. FINALLY managed to pay the majority of my sponsorship money to Tr*idcraft.
5. Got out of bed early to have a bath, and actually I am having a good day despite my cold
Really boring stuff I know, but it has made me feel lots better getting these things done. I am going to get the Xmas decorations out now :T Yaaaaay!
Don't turn a slip up into a give up

- Last nights pasta & meatballs for lunch
- wear my pretty snowflake necklace
- I started the buget planner officially today
- two more days in work
- pop in to see elderly neighbours tonight

- Walk dog x 3

- Think about how lucky I've been in the last 12 months, fought an illness, which meant 6 months of horrible belly injections, fell out of the loft and survived and came out of a relationship all pretty unscathed
- Revel in feeling older and wiser!!
Happy day before Christmas Eve!:jvintage43:A

I would like to join. I put up with severe depression, so seeing the positive is a step forward for me.
Yesterday I had a shower and baked for family's pack lunches. I also did a meal plan and organised my grocery shopping on the internet. I also got my daughter to her pick up point which I found difficult, because the depression is worst in the mornings.
Aims for today.
To only have a one and a half hour nap.
To sort out washing and to put it away.
Put the hoover around.
Pack for sleepover
Return library book.

Hey Rachel, well done on your positive steps.
Yes, we should start a new thread, perhaps one for the whole of 2012 rather than a monthly one, just to save work?
I must confess, I'm not sure I remember how to start a new thread...:o0 -
