Not many steps today, but it's been vaguely productive. Had a number of emails to sort out which I really didn't want to do and have sent two, almost completed a form for another, and forwarded one to my work email so I can print it out tomorrow and post off the form. I've been making myself ill thinking about it so I'm quite pleased I've done these little steps towards getting organised. I also need to create an equipment list and a shopping list and make a spreadsheet but I need all the information which I won't have until Thursday evening.*2014 £365/365days - £52/£365* *20p Savers club #17 £12.00/£50*

I do that too Giggles, thinking about stuff till i make my head spin and then i can't do the thing so i know where you are coming from. Massive well done for doing what seem like little things but actually you have taken some huge steps to do them!!!
I kinda forgot to steppy step today :eek::eek:, i'll blame the man - he took me out for lunch to help me feel better
I did get a few things done from the old list:
I hoovered the living room (and under the sofa cushions)
I went for a walk (so wee bit of exercise)
bought a couple of things i needed - hooks and extension cable
i emptied out 5 boxes of clothes from the car
am just doing a little bit on SB and app trailers now
and i might just manage to do a little more tidying in my bedroom
so not too bad considering how i felt this morningDebt at Aug 2010 (LBM) £21,908.86, Debt Freeeeee Date 4th Nov 2013 :j:j:j Massive Thanks to the £10 per day thread :A Next goals:Savings £1203.16/£10,000******Mortgage to Zero: £52,579.46 to go

Good Moaning :P
I'm having one of those moany, grumbly days so far so that seemed appropriate LOL. Didn't get much sleep so that would be the culprit! Still am here trying to find some positivity
The main thing i need to do today is parcel up ebay stuff and post it.
Have already done:
hoovered the rest of downstairs at about 1am and put a wash on (good job i have no neighbours!!)
ordered oil
swaggers target
cleaned stairs
5x:) so far so thats pretty good!
i would also like to get the bathroom/ensuite and downstairs loo cleaned today and finish tidying my bedroom. Oh yes and empty more stuff out of the car.....
Ebay parcels first then i will feel free LOL!
Hope you all have a good day! xxxDebt at Aug 2010 (LBM) £21,908.86, Debt Freeeeee Date 4th Nov 2013 :j:j:j Massive Thanks to the £10 per day thread :A Next goals:Savings £1203.16/£10,000******Mortgage to Zero: £52,579.46 to go

Hello!
The last few days have seemed quite busy though if you were to ask me what I've been up to the answer would be "not much really" :rotfl:
New list for the week:- do some flippin' knitting! not touched it in AGES
- the usual menu and shopping list
- make card for neice's birthday (have decided I'm going to just buy a surprise gift, if she doesn't like it my sister can always regift it:p)
- check my online banking every other day to keep tabs on DDs etc.
0 - do some flippin' knitting! not touched it in AGES

Well my plans for yesterday just didn't happen - got the ebay parcels done (all 20 of them!) but that was all. Bad stomach cramps kicked in and ended up having a duvet day
still not good today so just going to take it easy and see what i can manage by pottering around!

Not doing too badly today considering i'm just faffing about really, have managed to:
have a shower
post ebay parcel
do another wash
hit swaggers target
tidied a little bit of the bedroom
free bingo game
kinda not sure what to do with myself now.......some more pottering no doubt :PDebt at Aug 2010 (LBM) £21,908.86, Debt Freeeeee Date 4th Nov 2013 :j:j:j Massive Thanks to the £10 per day thread :A Next goals:Savings £1203.16/£10,000******Mortgage to Zero: £52,579.46 to go
