Good Morning Steppers (yes morning TM hahaha)

I am feeling like everyday i take another step closer towards actually starting my craft business - I hope my motivation stays and i actually manage to make a real go of it - its a bit scary but also exciting!!

I have been thinking about setting myself certain goals to aim for and have my positive steps reflect these goals - they generally do anyway but i feel i'm a bit all over the place too - hopefully if i have a goal in mind i can work towards it a little bit each day

So my long term goal is to start my craft business

To do this I really need to try and get rid of a lot of stuff i have gathered up from doing car boot sales etc.

I also need to promote my page/shop etc

and i need to keep producing products.

I also need to get my finances into order

and improve my health.

So i think i could have some headings for my steps:

Today i want to:

House:

get the box of perfumes i have listed onto facebook selling page done
add 5 listings to ebay

Business,

Do a little bit of promotion - work on getting up to 100 likes on facebook page (currently on 81) done now on 99
Do a little bit of crafting - see if i can knit some eyes for elephant

Money,

Superpoints - done
Swaggers + 100
Check bank balance done
Rates Payment
Avon Payment done
check cccs review date
post ebay sales
survey

Health

Get out of the house done
go for a swim

Any Others

feed fishies


Hmmmmm lets see how i get on with that little lot then

Hope you all have a productive and happy day xxxxx

Evening Steppers

Lappy isplaying up so borrowed my dads net book which is sooooo slow! Swaggers and ebay are out of the question at the mo trying to run some fixes today!

Good News day for me - my money has finally come through from Mum, only a couple of grand but will clear the big, stupid interest Virgin card! Just a couple of small ones left which should be gone by the end of the year and then it is just the loan to the MIL to go - hoping for debt free by the end of next year if I push hard enough!

Also Xan has got his place confirmed at the lovely adapted school that he goes to the nursery at - it is a mainstream one that is funded for the physically disabled!

Finally gave Thomas Cook the wheelchair details today too - meant hanging on the phone for 30 mins, but that is the stalest one off my list!

Feel more positive than I have felt in ages, and you guys are a huge part of my change in mindset so thank you all :smileyhea

I've just submitted my assignment, nearly 200 words short but I don't care, it's done. Now to think about the next one... doing 3 courses at once wasn't my best idea.


Ok, tomorrow:

massage/facial/pedicure appointment from groupon
sort recycling out
change bedding
stick to SW
think about narrative for next assignment :eek:
think about volunteering opportunities
try to shower and wash hair without getting arm wet
see if i can sort anything else out for carboot mountain

Xans Mum - you have no idea how happy i was to read that you are feeling more positive and also that we have played a part in that that is what i wanted this thread to be about when i thought about starting it! and such a lovely positive day you had yesterday too - great news on the money front, on the school for Xan and well done for getting the details into Thomas cook

Happy Thursday All xxxxxxx:T:T:T:T

psychopathbabble

That is such good progress Vintage! I stopped taking mine last summer, but currently feel like I should be doing something again.

FC hope you are feeling better today. I've got 4 more assignments to complete for my current 3 courses, then I start my last course in September and complete my honours degree in June next year. Seems like a lot of assignments between me and that certificate right now!

XM thats great news,getting into the school you wanted
