    Mind if I join in? I've been struggling to find the positives lately and it might help to write it down. Might be a struggle to find 10 things today...but shall get thinking for tomorrow!
    So far today I have
    1. Arranged an appointment with the bank.
    2. Sent off for application packs for 2 jobs I received email notifications about.
    3. Searched for jobs on the local council website and sent off for a pack about one with the library service.
    4. Found my scouting polo shirt.
    5. Shopped for rabbit food and sawdust.

    Still to do today:
    6. Sort out the washing so it's ready to wash.
    7. [STRIKE]Wash up[/STRIKE] -done
    8. Clean out the rabbit
    9. [STRIKE]Go to cubs[/STRIKE] - done
    10....I'm still thinking of!...[STRIKE]Work out how to edit my posts so I can cross these things off when they're done![/STRIKE]done-I think (that was actually easier to think of ten than I thought :) )

    Looks like I might have 2 thing for the list for Saturday already!

        Cutting down the list slightly after a weepy hour which put a halt to everything! Have completed 1., 2., 3. and part way through 4. Going to finish the tidying and vac up so it's tidy later. Then try and unwind with a nice bath before I go out! I'm seeing SIL tomorrow so will ask her about the books then, and the box for ebay will be in the same place in the morning ready to list!

        Yippee! Have managed to finish tidying up. My desk still needs a bit of work but that can wait until tomorrow! My room looks like someone else's! It's never been this tidy since I moved back into it! I'll have to be nice to the rabbit now because he was terrified of the vac! Last thing to do before I have a soak to prepare myself for the night ahead is to go to the bottle bank. Haven't achieved the 10 things I wanted to...but I think I've succeeded in 10 little things!

        1. Tidied up (VERY big task!)
        2. Sorted the washing ready for Monday
        3. Vacced the carpet.
        4. Washed up
        5. Cleaned out the rabbit.
        6. Got out the big box of things to put on ebay and found a home for 3 boxes of things not for ebay!
        7. Sorted out the x-stitch cards I have ready for Christmas into a christmas card box.

        Still to do:
        8. Go to the bottle bank
        9. Have a nice soak and finish my book
        10. Go to the housewarming tonight and not get upset!

        Have a fun evening everyone! xx
