The quilt's looking good Fairy.

I filled the 6 drawers and decided I should buy another one to fix on top so the room doesn't actually look any tidier, d'oh!

Good morning everyone, I managed to get most of my list completed yesterday, so I can start a fresh list today.

Small steps for today:

1. Sort through emails - file and deal with anything urgent
2. Get a quick shower
3. Sort through to do list for this month - update and schedule things that still need to be done
4. Check postcode lottery & birthday bingo
5. Do homework for Monday - I made a start on this yesterday but didn't get it finished
6. Write 2 articles for freelance project
7. Visit MIL Got about £50 worth of free food to bring home so worth the trip
8. Knit the body and head for the soft toy that I am making
9. Catch up with the thread

I think that is everything that I need to get done today

For the love of Gawd, someone please, please, please come and finish organising The Retreat for me! I should've left it as a dumping room

There's more books than I remember though I have managed to sort my crafting stuff.

Been up since 3.20am so the house is all tidied for the weekend, just the bedding to change and the hoovering to do. Didn't think Hubby would be too impressed if I did those whilst he was sleeping

This makes me think of our cosy den in the loft that is the dumping ground now Need to get it sorted too. Shall we pledge to do this together Hismissus? Sounds like you are almost done though :j

I have a big list to compile of rollies and dailies..there is quite a backlouge from where I have been so anxious/ behind on time from job dread! But none of that now yaay!

Hoping to get this list sorted tonight

Hi everyone,

It's a few days since I logged on and I am very impressed at how productive you've all been. a big 'well done' all round!! :rotfl:

Thank you for all your feedback about my caravan dilemma, much appreciated. To be honest I haven't given it much thought over the past few days, as work has been hellish and it's consumed all my time. Wednesday was particularly bad - had the MD (my line manager) on the phone having a go at me for issues which weren't my fault - and I suddenly thought, why am I doing this?! Went to the doctors, blood pressure was high again, went back yesterday morning and have been signed off for a week. Did a big handover to the HR manager this morning but pointed out that one of the issues is that there IS no-one to take over work for me or cover when I'm off! So I'm using the time constructively, have updated my CV, visited a few agencies today and applied for some jobs online.

Phew..... Wednesday was a really bad day, sobbed for hours, but am feeling more positive now. I have some more bank statements and letters to send to CAP (usually I scan them but will have to post them this time) but the payments are coming out of my account regularly so hopefully (!!) things are all progressing ok there.

OH is off to Amsterdam with the lads for the weekend so I shall be distracting myself sorting out paperwork and doing some positive stepping!

Hope you are all well and enjoying your steps xxx

Good morning everyone, I thought I would get logged in and make a positive steps list in the hope of getting things done as positive is something that I do not feel this morning.

My list for today:

1. Check emails - file and deal with urgent ones
2. Check banking
3. Sort tester paperwork
4. Try to organise diary so that I can feel more positive (I live in hope)
5. Collect up washing and do full loads
6. Do some work on project that I have in
7. Spend an hour looking for freelance work
8. Check postcode lottery & birthday bingo
9. Spend 30 minutes working on ironing mountain
10. Take kids to the car racing tonight (first time that we have been) Decided not too go, as it has decided to rain very heavy
11. Spend some quality time with little ones before collecting ds:)

I think that is everything for today, Hope everyone has a good Saturday, hugs to those that want/need them x
