welcome silverfox

I know it's not easy admitting to yourself even that u have mental health problems so massive well done on that. hopefully now u will get on track to getting better I have severe depression complicated with early menopause and anxiety disorder, others on this thread have spoken about their mental health issues too so u know ur not alone! some days I struggle to get up and others the problem is going to bed so it's just about taking things one day at a time and doing what you can! I hope u find the thread useful

my goals for today are:

to stay in bed
to drink plenty of water
to cancel appointments for this week
and to tell the norovirus I have to sod off lol!

am such a bad patient I'm wondering what I can do from bed today

• nectar adpoints done
• swagbucks still no surveys for me!
• make list of food in cupboards/fridge/freezer done
• plan menu and write shopping list for Saturday done
• finish knitting square 3 (told you life had been hectic!:rotfl:) hmmmm...nope!
• get on top of washing and ironing an ongoing chore
• visit MSE forums daily so far so good:D

Not a bad start

Fairyclicks, I've subscribed to the SB thread but I don't often get on to read it, I really need to find more time for things.

This week's targets:

• get on with that knitting!
• hmmm....

Working overtime this week, every evening, so I'll probably lose my way this week.

Well its been another day in bed for me but thankfully i am starting to feel a little more human again! Its only been a couple of days but i feel like i have been stuck in bed for a week. I'm hoping to get back to stepping tomorrow with a few little things:

swaggers target - done
set up printer
pay cc no2 - done AND no 3 paid too - I now have no more credit card debts left (tho have 2 others yet to sort)
parcel up ebay sales
do some financial checks to see where i am at - done at the minute i have £118 left in my living expenses account and 6 days to go to get paid again usually i have month left at the end of my money and not the other way round
do some more computer clearout - done loads

ALSO DONE:

started to look at my mortgage stuff - i want to start making overpayments to this next, even if its only £10 a month

i imagine there will be lots more sleeping happening too so if i get those done i will be delighted

I have that problem today as well somedays i really struggle getting started, but usually i find if i tell myself to do just one thing or as i did today pick 3 things it sort of breaks the spell I have got more done today than i expected to

Everyone else's lists are far more interesting than mine, but my steps for tomorrow are.

Hi trying.. I wouldn' say that about your lists, I find everyone's lists interesting and motivating, so always post what you are up to :j
we like to hear what you are achieving!

Been a bit poorly since yesterday morning - woke up feeling decidedly 'odd' and by 8pm i was in bed feeling rotten migraine meds taken at 5am and feeling a good bit better but going to take it easy i think today.

I know this is a while ago but I wanted to see how you are doing Fairy?

I am sorry for once again not coming and stepping, I miss it when I am gone but then I know how much I am going to have to catch up on so I put off coming back :eek:
Silly me!

I will be popping back this evening after I have caught up to pop some steps on
