    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 day 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

    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. Attend Dr's appt Done
    4. Act as chauffeur for my friend Val Done
    5. Meet up with Phil at school Done
    6. Join 'The Biggest Loser' Club Done
    7. Write a thank you card to Auntie Done
    8. Update daily financial ledger Done
    Wishing all the Happy Steppers Crew a stonkingly hot and stress free terrific Tuesday! :grouphug:

    Put a £1 in my 'High Maintenance Fund' jar for NSD :D
    Took my daughter to Brownies :D
    Watched a couple of episodes of 'The Hoarder Next Door' on catch up - got some more ideas for de-cluttering :D

    Hi TM6, we live in West Yorkshire too, i wanted to go camping on the coast, filey, brid somewhere like that but we havent actually managed to make it away camping, we never did sort the stuff out and OH is too busy working at the moment to get away. I ran out of energy to nag him into doing it :rotfl::rotfl:
    Hope you are having a fab time on your camping tip xx

    Happy Weekend Gang!

    Xan did a wee on the potty!!! Sorry if TMI, but I am so chuffed - I know it was probably just luck and doesn't mean anything, but he asked to sit on it as he often does with no results, and then within a minute said 'Mummy look - I did a little leak!' - Anyway had to share, so proud!! Will speak to the hospital in two weeks when he is back there, and may have a proper go at trying during the summer hols!!

    My aims for the BH weekend are:

    • February and March accounts written up :)
    • All 11/12 reciepts written up :)
    • All 11/12 invoices written up :)
    • Report completed for carers peeps
    • Photos for Ebay :)
    • 50 SH listings
    • Order Hubs phone Upgrade :)
    • Flea treatment for both cats as its warming up :)
    • Food shopping under £75
    • Clear inbox
    • DY/Ciao Review
    • Get Suitcases up in the loft
    • Take Cans for recycling
    Think that will keep me going for a while - Hope you all have a great long weekend x

    Aw Thanks Guys- That's right Fairy, he was born with some half formed vertabrae in his spine which were replaced with a metal scaffold when he was two (otherwise he wounld have been hunched and paraplegic by his teens) but it has left him with reduced feeling below the waist but they cannot guage how severe it is with him being so young. That added to his dodgy kidney and bladder has made continence a big grey area - but feel like it is a giant leap forward!

    Fab News Princess - Where have you gone for?

    Hope you are all having a great (wet) long weekend! xxx
