Positive actions will change my life!

40somethingmum

Well feeling slightly more positive today . See this diary is helping already.:D

Some days I feel as I have acheived nothing and have totally wasted a day. So to help me overcome this I think I will list my wishlist of everything I want to achieve today however small . Unfortunately this may also show how lazy I am:o

So far I have acheived :

Feeding dog !
Giving 2 out of 3 boys breakfast ( DS2 still in bed!)
Towels in WM ( why do I always have a mountain of towels every morning:mad:)
Reviewed my bank and updated spreadsheets.
Paid another £30 to HMRC
Paid £30 to credit cards

Yet To Acheive :
feed DS2 breakfast. ( He's having lunch although he may want breakfast later )
Wash breakfast dishes. done
Hang towels to dry ( although will probably need to tumble !) In TD as we speak
Make lunch for boys. ( done)
Wash lunch dishes.
Walk the dog.
Take DS2 and DS3 to footall club @ 6pm
Make Spag bol for dinner.
Force boys into the bath. ( Ds1 done
8 hrs work ( this includes driving to office to drop off work and pick up some more and probably do a few bits whilst I am there)
Will def need to put another wash on . In WM now
Hang 2nd load of washing out to dry .
Stop yet another fight that is brewing in the corner. ( endless battle !)
Empty upstairs bins.
Any other cleaning that I can fit in here.

Then its me time

Quick coffee first though

Have a good day everyone:)

Morning me dear

So glad to read that you are feeling more positive, its hard but if you can keep that positive vibe going then it will make all of the difference to you.

Budgie has been busy too this morning finally sorted out all the washing I have dried and paired up the sock etc, it hasn't taken long but Budgie has been putting it off.

I mean WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH WASHING, IT NEVER ENDS AND THERE ARE ONLY 2 OF US :eek: I can't imagine how much you have with 5 of you. Heavens

Just waiting to hear if Dad can come out today, he is complaining so at least he is getting back to normal.

Poor Mr Budgie is grabbing a couple of hours as he needs to get a new exhaust fitted and then book the car in for its mot. (Hmmmm will have to see how much that is?)

Though I don't know if its a fluke or not but I seem to have more money left so far this month, but I suppose I am not paying out for work travel etc, will have to see how it pans out next month?

So 40sm keep positive tick that list as it gets down and keep posting, it does make a huge difference I think.

Oh and Ds and his best friend got back ok last night, bless him he rang to let me know, as I do worry.

Big hugs have a fabby day.

Hi Budgie

Don't talk to me about the washing mountain and as for socks.. I now just buy the same colours and bung them all in the drawer and let them pair them up when they are putting them on . Although i have been known to wear odd socks on occasion . One of the athletes (sp??) in the olympics was wearing a yellow shoe and a pink shoe the other day. So if its good enough for them ...:rotfl:

I do hope that your dad gets out of hospital today and perhaps your life can then take on a "new" normality.

Yikes to exhaust... I do hope it does not cost too much ... mine is blowing and also needs to be replaced . :mad:

Have a good day, hun

Love

Hi HB,

Well done on getting start with the DMP .. I expect that is making a difference . So sorry to hear of the problems you have been having with your son. How is your health ?

As for me , debtwise, I don't feel like I moving anywhere fast but each little payment must help . Lost a bit of focus after the death om my mum but hoping to now get back on track.

Catch you later
