    Good Afternoon Stepperites :D

    Its so good to read everyones steps and progress :) I wish i had time to respond to you all but am having to resort to hitting the thanks button instead or i will need another 3 days in every week rather than two :rotfl::eek: :D

    This week has been going well for me - busyness is good for me i think even though my approach might be rather chaotic :rotfl::rotfl:

    The website now has 30 registered users and 94 listings :j:j:j for a while there i was thinking it was going to be a personal selling site so i am glad to see it starting to build :D I have got leaflets printed and business cards now so (despite the odd typo - that will teach me to vistaprint at 2am!) i am happy its still moving forward!

    This week i have finally managed to START getting back on top of my finances as well by making some long delayed payments so i feel like i am starting to add an extra ball to my juggling act. I am glad i took some time out to review my goals in my crazy person blog as it really helped me to see what was going on.

    Today i want to try and focus on my spare room - it has been tidied a bit then had boxes and boxes build up again and i can no longer get in there. I really want to empty it and make it a workshop but i have no-where to empty it to really. My plan for today is to move some boxes out into the living room to give me room to manoeuvre and hopefully create a bit more space again! I may be gone some time :rotfl::rotfl:

    Good luck with your stepping :) xxxxxx

    Hello Steppers!

    Blimey! I'm the first post today! I deserve an Olympic gold medal for that. (Although I feel I'm maybe only keeping the faith till TM6 is back off holiday!!)

    I'm noticing a pattern in my steps. Daytime = good! Evening= Bad! I get nothing done in the evenings! I must concentrate my efforts on even getting one step per evening achieved.

    Todays steps:

    - check bank done :DDouble eek! :eek::eek:
    - polls and cashback site done :D
    - get money out of atm done :D
    - lunch with colleague who's leaving done :D
    - Put away clean washing :(
    - Put load of washing on :(
    - Hairdresser coming to house this evening :DNo more grey!

    And tomorrow's Friday! Yippeee!

    **sneaks back in ** :o Another busy week between work and mum being here but mainly because I have been out with my friends and family have a jolly good time :j:j Currently surfacing from a smallish hangover and using it as an excuse to watch the Olympics AGAIN :rotfl: Team GB have made me soooo proud today, herculean efforts in the rowing!!

    HUGS to Xandersmum, we all have those days, its all part and parcel of being a woman I reckon :D

    Sligo you are back with a vengeance, its so nice to see everyone posting

    Fairy - Youre back :j Good to hear business is good. I too am battling with the spare room. It gets cleaned, then the house gets cleaned and all the junk goes back in the spare room and im right back where i started :eek:

    TM6 - Hope you are having a fab holiday xx

    Will be back later with a full list of things I want to get sorted this week while I am off but for now I am going to lounge on the sofa watching the olympics :D

    Aw Thanks Guys - Sorry I haven't got back sooner, Picked up a computer virus which took me ages to track and get rid of - Luckily doesn't seem to have done too much damage!

    Still feeling a bit blue - think it may be connected to it being Xan's Bday next week and Mum not being here for it, and that I have too much time to think at the mo - That and being a woman!!

    This weekend I want to:

    • Post Parcels :)
    • Chase O2 re number swap :)
    • Load of Washing :)
    • Wash Up :)
    • Wipe Down Sides :)
    • Clean Hob :)
    • Mop Kitchen Floor
    • DY Review
    • Some form of Exercise
    • Overpay CC
