Hi,

Hope you don't mind if I jump in. I've been lurking for a little bit and I think I have a vague idea how to do this (I hope ). I like the idea of calling things 'positive steps' instead of 'things to do', it makes me want to do them as a way of moving forward in life, not just because they need doing. I've only got 7 things today, I'm afraid. Then again, 7 is the most magical number. (Potterhead here, sorry, couldn't resist. :rotfl:) So here they are.

Today I aim to:

Shower. Done.
Wash pots. Done.
Wash bedding. Done.
Drop off catalogues confirming when I'll deliver orders (I'm a Betterware distributor). Done.
Drop off at least 50 normal catalogues.
Drop off application form at Morrisons (Betterware doesn't exactly pay all the bills).
Look through contents page of one Uni textbook and pick a chapter to read. Done.

I'll check back later with what I've done.

Great to see you all stepping away and new steppers joining us too
Big warm welcome to you ghostmad!!!

I have been doing lots of positive things including attending day 2 of business course was still pants but am going which is the main thing! Went to my first craft fair in a loooooooong time as a seller and sold some bits and bobs.....and was invited to make some things for a shop! :j:j:j and i made it to a boot sale on my own yesterday as well - Am now in need of a lie down

Today i want to focus on finances and clearing stuff out of the house so my wish list is:

check bank account - done less in there than i thought though
decide on what to use my bootie/craft sales money for - decided to pay £20 to mum off the neverending loan that she provides for me and the rest into my FT bank account to bring the OD down a bit more
superpoints done - have over 2000 points now - gonna save them till the end of the month before claiming
swaggers - start: 750 now 769
finish completing dla form and post it
add some items to my empty ebay account! - I feel a mini challenge coming on.........anyone like to do one with me???
payment to Avon - paid £25 off it
take photos of craft items for selling
something crafty
clear a box from spare room

Will be delighted to get these things done! Lets see how i get on

Happy stepping everyone!!

Hi all, sorry I've been missing for so long. I was on holiday, got back on 7th June, had a bbq on the saturday, then hospital on the monday and went up to Bradford for 4 days for my sortofmums fathers funeral, then we had friends over saturday night and a lazy day yesterday. I'm back for a couple of days then I'm in hospital on wednesday for my ear operations/investigations. It's Mr S's birthday on Thursday so I'm getting everything sorted out today and tomorrow, as I won't be up to much on the day itself. Am hoping to go out for dinner on Friday night though as I've arranged it with his friends as a surprise so I really hope I feel up to it!!

Todays list:

wrap presents
post various items
leave ebay feedback
shower, dry and straight hair
view 2 properties this evening
get quotes for fixing Mr S's laptop (oops, I broke it last night!)
do some washing

I think that's it for now. Hope you all have a great day x

It feels like mini challenge time........

We always seem to get a good wee boost of motivation with our mini challenges don't we? As several of us are finding it difficult to get the ebay mojo out i thought we could try a mini ebay challenge for this week! What do you think?

The challenge is a simple one - set yourself a target for the number of items you want to get listed on ebay by the end of the week (ie Sunday) and lets all get our ebay mojos working for us again

My personal challenge is to get 200 items listed this week :eek::eek: Its not as difficult as it may seem as i do have several multi item listing items but it will certainly stretch me to do it all the same! :rotfl:

Ahhhhhhh my face looks like my avatar pic already LMAO!

Hey everyone

Back from hols, happy and rejuvenated. Had a fabulous time. Had a great weekend too so going to list my steps from then

Weekend

Visited niece
Nipped into town for a CD
Drove to Blackpool in driving rain, near miss with a man who skidded across all lanes into hard shoulder :eek::eek: Came to a grinding halt 5m away from him, shaking like a leaf and promptly burst into tears Was very pleased with my quick reactions in missing him though :T
Saw Elton John in concert :j:j
Did 4 loads of washing and dried outside
Went to big sis with all family and trawled through a whole suitcase of family photos and momentos from when we were kiddies, was sooooo lovely and a great way to spend the afternoon :T
Took great niece to park The best things in life truly are free, she is an absolute joy to be around even if she is a strong minded little madam Much like me :rotfl:
Had a very long, lovely chat with mum, resulting in me going to bed at 1.15am :eek:

So today I had a good first day back at work which deserves a smily in itself
Folded all dry washing and sorted into piles. Put everything away that could be put away
Chatted with friend on phone
Went for a nice walk on my dinner
Hung a load of washing out
Ordered great niece a cute little pair of hi top pink trainers in the sale

Hoping I can hang onto this positivity as the week continues, its nice to be back posting again.
