    • update signature DONE
    • wash hair DONE
    • go to counselling DONE
    • go to work DONE
    • pay littlewoods installment DONE
    • do washing up DONE
    • charge phone and ipod at work DONE
    • post ebay parcel
    • take dvd back
    • draw out cash for monthly spends budget and grocery budget
    Thanks for welcoming me :)

    That was yesterdays list - not bad considering I was at work till 1.30am this morning. Then I have been at work all day today but I have -
    • checked account balances
    • been to work
    • took my own flask of coffee to work so didnt have to buy any!
    • had shower after work and washed hair
    • had some quality time with mt cat Ellwood (my other cat Grace was run over last week and unfortunately died)
    I think when I am having very busy work days like today I will aim for about 5 positive steps. I am aiming for both money saving positive steps but also steps to motivate myself and keep going through this depression, its daft but some days getting in the shower and washing my hair feels like an achievement :)

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend, xx
