Hello, sorry for not posting for a while, i was lucky enough to have had a small holiday that I didn't have to pay for. Perks of the boyf being a shareholder in his family company that do rather well for themselves. I wss reading everyones posts through my email though. Always love to hear what everyone is up to.

Ooooooh how lovely to get a free break hope you had a great time!

Fairyclicks you are making good progress with your list, I haven't called my mobile companies yet, have you? I'm really struggling with this one. Plus it gets worse the more I put it off, I don't even owe money or anything, I just don't like to be awkward and with vodafone raising their prices awkward is what I am going to have to be... sighhhhhhhh
I am going to tackle my clothes pile though too, just a few things away at a time like you do, its funny how tasks sometimes overwhelm us isn't it? I keep getting annoyed because they are so simple but I just get so bogged down doing them. It must be the way my mind works..

Yes i did sort my mobile contract and i got a fabby deal on it too - i checked the deals for the phone i wanted - phoned the one with the best deal then wouldn't let them put the order through, then phoned my own (orange) and told them the deal i was getting and negotiated an even better one :rotfl::rotfl:

Sounds like a good day Rachel, you got some good tasks done.
After my lovely holiday it was back to the real world and I have got a few bits done, so here they are:
Washed and dried sofa covers and put them back on sofa (so satisfying to have done this)
Picked up parcels from post office
Posted all the ebay items that ended on Sunday
Posted on this thread!! :-)

Things that I will do before bed:
email the gym about arranging a meeting (pay dispute, sad times )
wash up 10 items
put away 10 items from my clothes pile
post on the make £10 a day thread :-)

That is all. goodnight, see you soon

Well done for getting a list done and for working through it, I'm glad i'm not the only one finds it easier to do small bits of jobs at a time - i just would get nothing done if i tried to do it all at once but this way it gets done without all the overwhelming feelings and procrastination my mind dreams up

Not really sure what to get up to today - i organised a craft fair yesterday and i am shattered now so not going to do too much tbh.

go to first psych appt (bit scared!!!) - fell asleep and missed it
sort some clothes as i'm heading off for a few days with a friend - just up the road really but will be nice to get away. done
contact estate agent to arrange house viewing - done
collect stuff from mums - done
contact rachael to sort appt

I think thats all i need to get done today - everything else can wait

fairyclicks

Right then, back from a few days away and head all over the place - i fell asleep yesterday without taking my medication which means i have swimming head syndrome today not nice! It means i can't move about too much without feeling seasick so its a good time to do some planning and try to get myself back into a state of semi organised chaos :rotfl:

My Rollie and new steps list now looks like this:

sort the clothes still sitting in the corner - most of these now done but a few bits still to put away
look at and make a start on claim form - had a look and i need to contact them again for a new form - will add to Monday list
sort out amazon sale - done
Look for ring for P
bracelet for Molls
check wool for J scarf orders
book mot - need to check chassis number
add cancer lifeline charms to website
add box of cards to website
claim lost item from post office - complete the form now i have got it - done
look at the remaining order list and make a start on something from that.
check bank account - done
sort ebay sales for posting - done
contact orange to register new phone
transfer contacts to new phone
sort out watches i have for selling
superpoints - done
swaggers - up to 500 - done

Monday

contact cccs
contact aviva
contact rachael to sort appt
contact estate agent to arrange house viewing
Pay £100 off mortgage arrears
order tyres
contact unison re claim


I know that is a huge list but i just have a lot of things i need to do - will see how i get on and use the remaining items on the list as a reminder!

fairyclicks

I'm having one of those days today where i just don't know where to start motivation is low and generally feeling fed up and a bit overwhelmed.

To help me get started i am going to pick 1 thing off the list to do - if i get nothing else done but that one thing then thats ok cos otherwise i will just sit and stare at my list

Think i will do this one:

claim lost item from post office - complete the form now i have got it

As i'm struggling today i am breaking this down into smaller steps:

find the claim form - done
complete the form - done
take a copy of the form - done
find the proof of posting - done
copy the proof of posting - done
print off the listing from ebay - done
print off the emails saying not received - done
find an envelope - done
post form to claims department - ready to go tomorrow

Its easy enough to do (hopefully) and will give me some cash back when i get the claim completed with any luck!

Hurrrrrrrayyyyyyyyy I managed to get this done - only took me about 5 hrs but sure at least its something else to mark off the list now

Good Luck to anyone else trying to do some stepping today

Additional things done:

Superpoints - think its going to be next month before i can claim the $25 but i'm getting closer each day

swaggers - up to 525 - done

System

Hope you don't mind if I join in - could do with some productive/positive inspiration!
Today I hope to:
1. Finish up writing posts for my freelance job.
2. Clean flat.
3. Apply for at least three jobs.
4. Catch up on all emailing/correspondence with my friends.
5. Plan lessons for tomorrow.
6. Skype with the parentals.
7. Organise paperwork for tomorrow.
8. Do some reading.

Hmmm can't think of another two! Will see how I get on in making this Sunday productive!

Awww Fairyclicks, sorry you are feeling low today but well done on doing the form, they are a pain I have had to do one before. They paid me compensation in stamps which was OK I guess as I always need them. So that might be what you get too.

Welcome TEFL and Hannah, you are welcome to join us. I hope you get on well with your lists. I have had friends to stay until today so I haven't been on here but I am going to write a big paper to do list for tomorrow as I have loads to do, but I will post it in the morning, too tired now, must go to bed. Night all

fairyclicks

The Monday list:

contact unison re claim - done
