Positive Steps Challenge 2013

Sorry to hear you had the storms there Minnie, I hope everything is ok! It's been very cold where I am but thankfully not too windy. I've got the day off work to start my packing & the rubbish storage heaters are only just taking the chill out of the air in my flat

It was going to be a very productive day today, but somehow I don't seem to have achieved everything!! Taking a break for a hot chocolate and to say hello to my fellow steppers

Next I think will be to either go through the wardrobe to do a charity shop bag, or to tidy out the cupboard. Neither sounds appealing, but both have to be done if I'm to crack this moving without having a big panic at the end.....

Happy Friday everyone! xxx

Having a bit of an ebay blitz at the moment! I find I'm either really into it, or get discouraged for a while and do nothing!!


Making the most of the enthusiasm at the moment and getting as many things listed as possible while the mood lasts!!!! :money:

Hi peeps!


My steps for today are;


Write and post Christmas cards -DONE
Organize bill folder DONE
Ebay ebay ebay (It's a free listing weekend!) DONE
Quick clean round DONE
Quick trip to Mr T's DONE




About the Christmas cards - it will only be a few because of the postage:eek: It's such a shame because I used to send loads and loved to receive them - now it will be a few special folks who live a distance away and that I don't see very often - prob less than 12. Everyone else seems to have cut back as well so it's ok.


Ebay - as I mentioned yesterday I'm into this at the moment and have just read it's a free listing w/e so even better!!!


Have a lovely day everyone xx

hi Minniemousesmummy, hope all goes well for your tests and mri scan - thinking of you.


I took a huge step yesterday - I registered with Stepchange and feel so much better for having done so. Have given them almost all of the required info, and they are calling me again next Monday.


I should have done it a long time ago, I don't know why I didn't - I've always tried to soldier on.......too independent for my own good.
