  • Hello, I'm new to the forums, can I join please? I will try 10 things but may resort to 5 if it's too much (I work full time and have a 5 yr old so not much spare time) and I don't want to feel like I've failed!

    I'll edit shortly with my list for tomorrow.

    I seriously fell off the positive wagon last week. Went back to school on Tuesday and did nothing but work and sleep until this evening (or it feels like that anyway!) but today I feel like I'm kind of caught up...at least to the point I could do a workout and not bury myself in planning and marking all night!

    Today's positive steps:
    - workout DONE :)
    - shopping list DONE :)
    - go shopping
    - pack away shopping
    - text SIL about choir tomorrow
    - sort through magazines
    - Happy Planner & journal
