    Hi everyone, may I join you please? I'm currently signed off with high blood pressure until our baby makes her entrance into the world, and I'm desperately trying to get the house and finances as sorted as I can . I love the idea of making 10 positive steps, I tend to focus on the financial and forget that I've actually done a lot of good during my day even if it didn't really make the numbers on the spreadsheets go in the right direction.

    1. Wrap present for friend to be sent tomorrow
    2. List on ebay all bits on the sofa
    3. Go to HR welfare review
    4. Wrap bin and mirror plates, book courier
    5. Reply to ebay customer services
    6. Order memory stick for MIL
    7. Book onto ante-natal NHS classes
    8. Re-book dentist appointment
    9. Find diary and update diary dates
    10. Check all online accounts, do money shuffling as needed.

    Of course you can join us Dinah93, lovely to have you onboard :D Congratulations on the wee babs!! when is he/she due??

    It is amazing all the things we somehow forget about getting done in a day isn't it? and great to be able to recognise our achievements - esp if we feel like we are getting nowhere fast!! In my house thats all the time :rotfl:

    Good luck with your first 10, and hope you enjoy the thread :)
