    Good morning Happy Steppers Crew :hello:

    Well, it is an incredibly important day for me today - I return to work on a phased return - I'm excited but at the same time I have issues about duty of care (or should I say the lack of it!!) I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow morning

    Yesterday I achieved 7 smilies :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Today I would like to
    1. Put a £1 into my 'Stash The Cash' tin Done
    2. Put a £1 in my 'party' tin Done
    3. Enter info into our daily financial ledger
    4. Survive work :rotfl: Done


    Not on the list but I have also.......
    Listed more ebay :D
    Photographed more ebay :D
    Enjoyed spending my clubcard vouchers for some fab rewards :D

    Wishing all the crew a tremendous Tuesday :grouphug:

    Hello Steppers

    Dragging feet and with a heavy step today! Mouldy mood continues! Sunshine badly required! :sad:

    Today I have already:

    - checked bank :D
    - done polls & cashback site :D
    - filled in driving licence form :D

    My steps for the rest of the day are:

    - Take driving licence into office & pay fee :D
    - put load of washing on :D
    - tidy bedroom :(
    - try to smile!!! :D

    I'm sinking into a deep hole of procrastination! Someone throw me a rope! ;)
