    Good morning Happy Steppers Crew :hello:

    It is so lovely to see more steppers posting again and to share all our positiveness :beer:
    PPB - Well done with your dissertation - were you pleased with it? Wowser at £60 at the CBS - I love buying but I hate selling at them - they always feel like walking through treacle trying to make sales :rotfl:
    Enjoy your time away
    Xandersmum - welcome back - you've been missed :T Aw poor Xan getting chicken pox - has he been itching much? Are you still in pain with your shoulder? How have your ebay sales been? Mine have been pretty rubbish

    Sligo - I want to come and live with you! Although I'm a townie, I would love more of an outdoor life :D

    Princess - Your steps are never boring and thank you for posting again. For me, there is no doubt that stepping everyday has had a real impact on my mental health and general well being. In the early days I often struggled to do more than a handful of steps - now, 10+ is the norm. Which part of the country are you camping for the Jubilee Weekend. We are looking to stay in West Yorkshire but we might go up to North Yorkshire

    FC - How are your lovely crafts selling? You are SO talented - I wish I was as crafty as you

    Yesterday I achieved 13 smilies :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    HI Everyone :)

    Its really great to see everyone posting again! I feel like i'm letting the team down by not posting more often :o

    I wish i knew why i'm struggling with it so much right now - have tried taking different approaches to my steps but whatever i try i don't seem to be feeling the motivation it was giving me before :( I have just looked over my last list and have hardly completed anything on it!! and its things that i do need to do as well.......

    Not really sure how to move forward at the minute!

    I have been doing things.....just not the things i perhaps need to be doing :o

    anyway, today i have managed to:

    parcel up ebay sales :)
    Post ebay sales :)
    go to sewing class :)

    Before the end of the day i would also like to:

    start filling in dla form
    superpoints :)
    do something on swaggers (not been doing this at all recently) :)
    start working on black ruffle scarf
    set up sewing machine now i have a clear spot on my desk to put it :)

    I will try really hard to work on these and come back and do an update :)

    ****************************************************************

    Firstly FC you are an inspiration to us all and I really miss you when you don't post but you are definitely NOT letting the team down.

    I hope you don't mind a few suggestions from your motley crew :rotfl:

    I would only put 5 steps down as sometimes we overface ourselves with too many steps. Yes they are all things that need to be done but there is always tomorrow.

    Blast one of the 'dreaded' on your list and when you do you will feel much better.

    I hope that helps and it is sent with love :happylove

    Thanks TM suggestions are always welcome :) xxxx

    I'm not sure its a quantity issue as i don't feel overwhelmed by my list, i just find myself ignoring it :rotfl::rotfl: maybe its a things i should be doing rather than want to do issue! Not sure! lol I used to come back and check my list frequently throughout the day and mark off what i had done and pick a new item to work on but i haven't been doing that recently - i also feel like i'm not achieving much funny enough!

    I did manage to do most of the things i wanted to yesterday. :D

    You know something just popped into my head there - i think i am focussing too much on doing things for other people at the minute! I think i may need to try and regain a personalised focus! I just feel a bit all over the place and need to find my path again. hmmmmmm!

    Bearing all that in mind then today i am going to try and:

    look at my personal goals and bring things back to basics

    Look at my personal calendar and add appointments and fairs etc

    do some work on craft items

    check bank account

    Superpoints

    Swagbucks

    Look for old DLA form

    Sort ebay sales

    List unsold perfumes on ebay again.
