MinnieMousesMummy

Good afternoon, Health is still not too good but I am determined to try and least get something done because I can see things getting worse if I let it.

Small Steps for Sunday:

1. Sort through paperwork from April:)
2. Finish doing college homework for tomorrow:)
3. Knit the leg for the teddy that I am making - I had to rip a lot of it back last night due to a problem still not sure what caused it :mad:
4. Sort tester paperwork:)
5. Make a start on organsing diary for next month
6. Sort out toys in dd's bedroom
7. Sort tv corner in the living room
8. Check Mr A order - scan and store:)
9. Write 3 articles for the project that I am working on:)
10. Do full loads of laundry in the hope of getting on top of it all again
11. Spend 30 minutes working on ironing mountain:)
12. Check postcode lottery & birthday bingo:)
13. Check kids school bags for homework & letters:)
14. Sort through emails - file and deal with anything urgent:)
15. Avoid the urge to go to the local shop for cigs, as I gave up years ago but get the urge when I feel low:)
16. Submit s&s information:)

I think that is probably more than enough to be getting on with today.

Hiya MMM, Thanks for coming and posting despite feeling not great.
Try and get some bits done then you won't have that 'guilt' feeling that can make things worse, you can do it! :j
And if it helps, to ciggies, don't undo the hard work, be strong

2. Organize my desk better
3. Find the "Les Mis" DVD (opps)

parcel up ebay/fb sales
gather up all listed items and put in one place
start working on business plan
do some work on book

Hi all,

I'm still working on being positive, think the run in with the MD last week really dented my confidence I've been job hunting like mad over the past few days but haven't got anywhere yet and I have to ring HR soon - eeeek!

On the bright side, I am still eternally grateful when the postman brings nothing or even better, a nice letter rather than a 'you owe us lots of money you don't stand a chance of paying back' letter.....

Fairy - are you feeling any better now? xxx

I'm just very up and down atm Ruby - sleep pattern is all over the place so that doesn't help. On good days i'm just fed up - kinda tired of the never ending cycle of tidying and getting no-where cos my house is full of stuff. I can't afford to just dump it or charity shop it as i depend on money from sales to live on really. Its good to get sales for that reason but then i have to do the whole packing and going to the post office thing which is quite hard for me anyways, and then people claiming things didn't turn up etc just knocks me sideways. I think i'm just a bit burnt out with it all right now

On top of that i am trying to work at starting a business, deal with some major family stuff, deal with a few knocks to my own confidence and the general anxiety/depression i have as well. Its just all taking its toll i think. I'm thinking i need a holiday LOL!

Re the 'nice post' i started ordering free samples of things just to increase the amount of nice post i got - silly how getting a sample of shampoo or perfume just felt really good LOL!

Massive good luck on the job hunting front - i know its not nice to be in the situation of having to ring HR etc - lots of cyber hugs coming your way xxx
