10 positive steps a day challenge - 2012

  • Morning all, haven't started the crafty stuff yet as lots going on but looking at your makes and posts with interest :)

    I've sort of come to the decision, very reluctantly, that I'm going to have to quit my job :( I can't remember if I've said before but my perforated ear was the least of my worries, there was other stuff going on which needs to be repaired and investigated before I can return to work. This could be a 3 month wait, plus a 3 month wait for another op. Realistically, it would be stupid financially to wait it out on SSP only to then find I can't work anyway. So list today:

    find interview shoes
    find interview jacket/cardi to suit dress i got yesterday
    send cv and letter to recruitment agency who is expecting it
    type up interviews for uni assignment
    start sorting out stuff to take to the flat from home (sortofmums home)
    do second interview for uni assignment
    stick to SW plan

    Hi Steppers

    Just to say I haven't forgotten you. The mojo is gone and struggling to get it back. You know the story - mad busy, got a dose of a cold, chasing around in circles trying to get all done, flattened by a mountain of washing and ironing!

    So hoping to get back on the 10 steps tomorrow. I'm aiming to think about them tonight and have the list ready for the morning to have a positive start to Wednesday! :)

    Fairy - hope you got back to sleep today? if not then have a lazy hour in the sun today!:j:j

    :):):):):):):):):):):):):):) 14 Yesterday:j:j:j:j

    I had a really good day yesterday, having cut down on my anti depressants gradually over the last 6 weeks I'm staring to feel the benefits! I think having an all clear diagnosis has helped tremendously, I didn't realise how much it was weighing me down:T

    Todays list is as follows
    1. Pay £15.60 off CC _ ebay sales:)
    2. Pay £16.60 into HMF Tin - ebay sales:)
    3. check ebay listings:)
    4. Buy some doll stuffing!:)
    5. Go to watch W.E. at the flicks with my mates at 11:)
    6. Tell my friends I am only going to pay for my meal at lunch rather than split the bill, MSE, I never have a pudding and will just have water:)
    7. Tidy Kitchen:)
    8. Finish doll#3:)
    9. Decided to put off filling in the compensation form until I go back to work and have my half pay paypacket:)

    A short list today, but a lovely one, I'm going to enjoy them all apart from tidying the kitchen!
    Have a great Wednesday Steppers
    Hope Fairy is rested and TM6 is not grumpy!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:
