    Good afternoon Happy Steppers Crew :hello:

    Thank you all so very much for your lovely messages of support as I returned to work yesterday. I have just got back in now from another morning at work and boy am I tired ZZZzzz. Working is a real shock to the system!

    I work in a Primary School and although I have been off for nearly 6 months, the same children are kicking off, the same problems are arising! Nothing seems to have changed much except me! I am much more confident now - the CBT sorted me out :rotfl:

    Yesterday was a walk in the park as far as work was concerned - I was back to my old self although my brain didn't want to work! As I am on phased return, I'm not back at work now until next Tuesday :T

    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. Take items down to local auction Done
    5. Survive 2nd day at work Done
    6. Collect flowers from florist! Done
    7. Go to Governors for last half an hour Done
    8. Check e-mails Done
    9. Enter DM numbers Done
    10. Plan for the week ahead Done
    11. Update Filofax Done



    Not on the list but I have also.......


    Wishing all the crew a wicked Wednesday :grouphug:

    Hello again everyone! :wave:

    I am NEVER moving house again! :eek: Or at least without having got rid of a LOT of stuff. That was the worst move I've had in quite a long time and that is really saying a lot. I doubt me and OH will see the majority of our last flat deposit again owing to the amount of things we couldn't sort before the letting agents wanted us out. :o:( Anyway, onwards and upwards. Three smilies from the last list (:D:D:D) and many things done that couldn't be listed due to lack of time/internet. But I'm back again now and raring to go! (Sort of :rotfl:)

    Tomorrow I want to:

    Find key to unlock gas meter.
    Find little gold notebook.
    Find rubber gloves. :D
    Pay money into bank. :D

    Not on list but I've also:

    Washed pots. :D
    Changed address at bank. :D
    Paid broadband bill. :D
    Signed off. :D
    Changed address at Housing Benefit office and told them I've found a job. :D

    This week I want to:

    Give final gas reading from old house.
    Set up computer (incl. printer).
    [STRIKE]Set up new bank account. [/STRIKE] Can't do this until driver's licence is returned with new address on it. :(
    Send another PPI letter to dedicated address.
    Send £5 to Lloyds re old debt with letter included.
    Contact old employer for details of hours worked.

    That should do for now, I hope. If I think of anything else, I'll add it tomorrow.

    It does indeed and OH has been "borrowing" from it to bits he needs for his business while stuff sells :eek::mad:
    I find it all so hard to manage tbh that i tend to not get involved but then he doesnt get involved either :rotfl::rotfl:I can see problems on the horizon.
