    Sooo tired today but have still managed to get some stuff done:
    Have eaten well all day and even managed to resist the temptation of OH eating a LARGE bag of revels :)
    Bought leaving present :)
    Bought card and small pressie, had to buy a pack of bubble envelopes and open them whilst queuing to write address on one and put card and gift in :rotfl:Organisation at its very best :rotfl::rotfl:

    Off to get a quick bath and go to bed........hope we all get our energy/motivation/mo-jo back tomorrow :D
  • Well my positive day came to an abrupt end this afternoon when i sneezed and trapped the nerves in my back. Took a nights holiday from work and currently sat with my feet up and a hot water bottle... Still managed 7 out of 10 smiles tho ! :):):):):):):)

    Gonna take my relaxants now otherwise i wont sleep tonight due to the pains in my leg. Its a re-occuring problem that i've had for years, just have to be careful not to let it get me down too much. :o

    Think i'll see how i feel tomorrow before i come up with tomorrows list :cool:

    Good morning Happy Steppers Crew :hello:
    Sorry I was MIA yesterday, I had a carp day and by the evening I had crashed and burned. Floods of tears which was good as I am still grieving the loss of my darling Dad and the release of emotion was just what the Dr ordered.

    I have woken up in a very positive mood and I have declared today as my duvet day BUT with a twist! It's a duvet blast through day. We will be taking loads of ebay photographs as well as listing :dance:

    From Monday I achieved 8 smilies :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D and yesterday I added another 4 :D:D:D:D (stash the cash x 2, swim and a trip to Fodders with my friend)

    Here is my wish list for today



    1. Put a £1 a day into my 'party tin' Done
    2. Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' Done
    3. Bring ebay purchase diary up to date Done
    4. Put £1 into my 'High Maintenance Fund' for a NSD Done
    5. List more Ebay Done
    6. Photograph more ebay Done
    7. Update Geocaching.com
    8. Post ebay and other mail Done
    9. Write Mother's Day cards and wrap presents
    10. Write thank you card to Denise
    11. Ring my lovely son Done
    12. Text S for T's mobile number Done
    13. Text T! Done
    14. Tidy front room!
    I will add more as I think of them or do them :p

    Wishing all the Happy Steppers Crew a wizardly wicked Wednesday :grouphug:

    What are we all like :eek:
    We are obviously in step with each other's feelings - it would seem that we all had an off day yesterday in unison :p

    I declare that we unite today and have a BLASTingly good day :rotfl:

    I'm with you TM6 on a positive day today!! Boiler has been patched up temporarily, just hoping it lasts until my new boiler cover kicks in! Amazing what a hot bath and some nice strong antibiotics can do to lift your mood!! Hope everyone else is feeling brighter today, and good to have you back Dinah!

    Aw that's so sweet, actually made me well up a little. I'm 26 weeks (and 2 days, but who's counting?!), midwife told me yesterday she expects they'll give me steroids at 28 weeks to prepare for the baby probably coming somewhere between 28 and 32 weeks :eek: Really scary to think we're supposed to have a June baby yet actually we could be in our last baby free month. I'm resigned to her coming early, but I'd feel a lot better about her being sometime in May rather than sometime in April. I'm booked on an NCT course too, but that doesn't start until I'm 30 weeks and runs till 36 weeks... I was clearly wildly optimistic when I chose which dates to go on.
