HI all!

I'm very much all over the place atm - not been stepping and getting nothing done really either. I feel like i just lose days and not sure how house is a tip, ebay parcels not sent, blogs not updated etc etc so its time to get back to stepping and hopefully being more productive again.

MMM - so sorry to hear you are still feeling poorly - hope you are looking after yourself! xxx

todays plan for me:

wash dishes - done
hang out washing - 1 lot done
do another wash - done
move fabric up to craft storage place - done
sort ebay photos
sort kitchen table stuff
sort coffee table stuff
sort fb sales
free bingo - done

if i can get that lot done i will feel more in control i think......

Happy Sunday xxxx

Hello everyone. Sorry I've not been around for a while. Work is crazy and I'm shattered but loving every minute of it. I'm having a quiet weekend at OHs mums and I really can't do much at all. Have pulled something in my neck/upper back which is causing quite a bit of pain so I'm sat with a wheat bag around my shoulders. But today's plan...
-buy fruit for Handa's surprise activities at school �� done
-book train ticket to Lake District at half term - done
-book train tickets for day in London done :-)
-finish maths plan for the week
-check all resources are ready for tomorrow
-make Christmas card list (only because I need to get started making them!)
-have hot shower to ease aching
-catch up on a bit of TV
-update diary
-read chapter of book

That should do for now!

Hi everyone

Sorry for the long absence - had a stinky cold & no concentration/ commitment - so much so that I'm going back into panic mode am feeling a bit better but not yet up to facing the world or my big debt problem!!

Fairy, so sorry to hear that things aren't so good for you at the moment. I hope getting back to the positive stepping will help - sending you lots of virtual hugs! Xxx

Giggles & MMM, a big well done to you both for the impressive lists, I need to take a leaf out of your books...

Other than being skint, all seems ok with me for now; I still get the panicky feeling when I get ANY post or see a missed call from a blocked or unknown caller though (I ignore them, if it's important they can leave a message or write to me!). I guess that's the advantage of being on a DMP, of course it's not ideal in terms of credit ratings, but at the same time it does show willing to actually pay money back.

No news on my housing situation, I'd like some advice from the CAB but my local one is proving as elusive as the Scarlet Pimpernel!! I may have to try the council but that means taking an afternoon off work.

Just pottering on for me really, I do have more ambitions but they can wait till I'm feeling less rubbish...

Sending lots of positivity to everyone, I shall be back with some steps soon! Xxx

Hi all,

Stepping seems to have taken a back seat since I got back off my holiday, which was fandabbytripledosey!

Dad was taken into hospital whilst I was away, coming home tonight so hopefully normal life can resume (well as normal as can be expected) It will mean I'll get my lunchtimes, evenings and weekends back (spent visiting him) and I can focus a bit more on home life instead of hospital life.

Nothing will get done tonight !!! we're picking him up at sometime TBC but I'll be back to stepping tomorrow.

Hope you're all feeling better xxx

ScarlettMcCain

*his missus* - I am very jealous indeed of your holiday!! Glad you had a lovely time!

No letters for me today, and my CAP payment has gone out of my account as normal, so panic over for now.....

*Fairy*, hope today's steps have helped, I will be back on it when my brain has recovered from too much sneezing and sniffling! xxx
