    Good morning Happy Steppers Crew :hello:
    I'm still stepping away but it does feel very lonely on here at the moment :rotfl:
    ......

    TM6 - I'm here I'm here!! Just lurking and wallowing in procrastination!! And you're an inspiration posting every morning!

    I promise I'll be stepping tomorrow! Cos I need to! Busy going nowhere if I don't plan my day!

    I'm here too - i did post yesterday but it disappeared :(

    I think my problem is just being all over the place with my sleep pattern atm - this morning woke at 5am, yesterday was just after 4am and then went back to sleep at about 8.30 and woke again at 10ish lol!

    anyway my plan for yesterday was to start tidying the chaos that i have to cheek to call a bedroom! Still a bit to do but i managed to find the floor :o

    I also took a huge step yesterday and registered for a business course - its just a short one but sounds pretty good. It includes having a mentor to help get to the next step :) All i have to do is manage to sit in a room with other people now :eek: It even freaked me out to phone them but at least its not too far away!

    Today i would like to:

    Finish knitting another scarf - done :)
    check the crafters directory i started as the links weren't working properly
    superpoints - done :)
    +50 on swaggers (target = 525)
    list 5 things on ebay
    sort ebay sales
    post ebay sales
    sort fishtank
    start dla form
    sort some of the papers i have thrown into a bag to go through later
    check bank account - done :)

    Also went for a swim - :)

    wish me luck :P

    Good morning Happy Steppers Crew :hello:

    Sorry I sounded so negative in the last few days, stepping has been my lifeline since I became so ill with my depression. When you weren't posting I felt very alone which de-motivated me.

    I'm just going through a crisis of confidence at the moment as I am due to return to work in the next few weeks and I feel afraid!

    But I'm determined to think positively and chat to my gorgeous hubby over the weekend to clear my head of these negative thoughts and come up with encouraging solutions :dance:

    Yesterday I achieved 11 smilies :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Today I would like to
    1. Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' Done
    2. Put a £1 a day into my 'party tin' Done
    3. Swim Done
    4. Update Filofax
    5. List more Ebay Done
    Wishing all the Happy Steppers Crew a super sunny Thursday! :grouphug:

    Not on the list but I have also......
    Put a £1 in my 'High Maintenance Fund' jar for NSD :D
    Sorted out more of my PHQ cards :D

    Sorry TM6, I've been desperately trying to do my Uni assignments before going away on Tuesday so I've been neglecting MSE quite a bit. I've just sent one, so just 4000 words to go :eek:

    Hope you are feeling a bit better :) x
