    Aw late shift eh? i remember them all too well! Well at least you should be finished by now :D

    We usually just edit our first post and then declare how many positive steps we managed - don't forget you can add things you hadn't on your list too if you think of something else you did!

    Some of us add smilies and some add a total to our siggy - its up to you entirely Sammy - keeping count though is a good motivator and helps to boost your mood quite often too :D

    Looking forward to hearing your update :)

    :):):):):):):):) 8 yesterday!

    I have made a very brave decision to put having the loft room completed until I know how my finances are going to be, I have sick pay til May and a meeting to discuss the future with Occy Health on 9th March so I think I am best keeping any pennies close to me until I have a definite outcome. Now need to wait for the building suppliers to open so I can cancel the wood order!

    My list for today is as follows - dramatic pause ----
    1. Cancel wood order!:)
    2. Dinner from stores:)
    3. walk dog x 3:)
    4. lunch with friends:)
    5. Pay phone bill
    6. Pay for table sale:)
    7. deliver a birthday gift:)
    8. tidy son~3 bedroom
    9. Shower:)
    10. Order a free photo mug of MSE
    11. clean out fridge

    I really enjoyed planting the potatoes out yesterday, looking forward to seeing how my attempt at the good life goes!

    Happy Wednesday steppers:j

    Oh it's leap year - now where's George Clooney! ( I can dream)

    Very wise decision even though you must be terribly disappointed :grouphug:

    How do you order a free MSE mug?
