fairyclicks

Peek a boo i can see you

Lovely to see lots of people coming back to the thread and new peeps joining in too!!!

I have been trying to get my MSE mojo back and get into the habit of checking in daily - so far have managed about 6 days in a row :P

Life still chaotic here but hopefully joining steppers anonymous again will help :rotfl: well maybe...... LOL!

Today i would like to:

send letter to nationwide re fees done
add 5 items to ebay - got 10 added
add 10 items to my website
boost my swaggers total by at least 50 points (on 741)
find orders i have completed for E, P and C
add another job lot to fb sales page - listed all sorts
put away the pile of clean clothes from the corner of my room before they end up back in the wash basket
start knitting a new lace scarf - started this too
check my bank account done

yey and thats my 10 wishes for today

Well done for even coming up with a list fairy. I seem to live my life in retrospect, even to the point of adding jobs I've already done to a list so I can cross them off straight away. Defeats the object. Should write 'got done' lists instead, then I would never be disappointed.
Anyway on to today's positives...
- ate yummy home made soup for lunch ,made from 'just gone over' vegetables
- didn't spend any money other than school dinners
- helped DS2 revise for a German test (sounded more like hindi when I spoke it)
- had an ICT lesson where the laptops all worked properly for the first time this term

Struggling now so will try to add a few more later, but that will depend entirely how the evening pans out!

Off to cook potentially vastly unhealthy supper of sausage egg and chips (maybe some beans would add a positive note).

Kind regards
Slowdown:)

Oh managed 5 of these yesterday - thats actually better than i thought so quite pleased with that - also made a couple of sales on fb and have a few bids on ebay stuff so am getting into the groove again rightly

Today i'm gonna work on the other 5 and also:

sort some boxes of stuff for car boots at the weekend in the hope it doesn't lash down - flip i'm such a dafty i have no car atm so no booting for me
do some more work on the lacy scarf -
contact sky about reducing cost
contact orange to see when my contract finishes
get fishtank moved out of the bedroom even if i have to smash it :rotfl: (been asking OH to move it for weeks!)

Thats me up to 10 again for today so lets see how it goes!

Hmmm! A smashed fish tank in the bedroom? Cod in your slippers? I'm sure there is another way out of this Fairy. Perhaps reinvent it as something else? What about see through storage for your knickers? Save a lot of rummaging first thing in the morning.

Positives for the day...
- had a lovely log fire on tonight
- drank some nice wine


That's it.
Better than nothing.
Kind regards

Hello everyone!!
ooooh jelous of the log fire slowdown, we were in the middle of having a fireplace put in but then the landlady realised her insurance won't cover it so no fires for us :-( sadtimes. But the fireplace does look lovely and we're going to get some big candles for it :-)
Today I managed to:
-Get rid of a few bits on freecycle
-pick up a piece of furniture from ebay purchase (from a month ago, its been bugging me, phew!)
-cooked a dinner using up what we had rather than buying other things
-got some sandwich fillers from tesco for next week
-signed up for parkrun-a free organised run every saturday morning

I think that's about it tonight, be back over the weeeknd to report some more goings on in my household :-)

Right must get organised today. Only 4 steps but 3 are pretty big ones...
*make biscuits for tonight's concert
*tidy my room (might take part of tomorrow too!)
*buy milk for tonight's concert
*survive tonight's concert!

If I manage no 4 I'll be celebrating with a beer, chocolate and a film when I get home!

Well yesterday i got so little done other than lounge about - though i did do that pretty well i have to say

I'm feeling a bit poo - PMT and general grumpiness is the theme atm. However yesterday i did manage to do

a bit of searching for somewhere to live as i have broke up with OH now so needs must and all that.
got my swaggers total up to 824

I counting that as 2 maybe the not smashing the fish tank could be number 3 :rotfl:

Today i'm going to give myself tiny things to do cos need to not overwhelm myself and feel like i'm getting nothing done again.

I would like to:

knit 10 rows of lacy scarf - done
take dishes downstairs - done
put away 10 items of clothing from the corner pile - more than 10 done still a pile over there mind you!
write a list of evidence to send to DLA peeps
list 5 items for sale on ebay - got LOADS listed - now have 70 things on there

Lets see how that goes to start with!

Oh just realised i can add:

check maximiles account - added some points
check one poll account - added 15p to balance

Also working on swaggers = wanna claim another £5 today! - done
