Productivity and Positivity

After my 'woe is me' post on Thursday I woke up on Friday feeling better than I have done in about two months and just thought RIGHT THEN!! So this post title has two very important words in it.


I have just spent my weekend sans boyfriend (booooo), so decided I should do some of those things that needed doing around 6 months ago. I bought buttons for my coat, got it dry cleaned (£11.75, how expensive!), watched a few episodes of Planet Earth on DVD, and managed to make a couple of bracelets! Not sure what to do with them yet though. 

Feeling rather pleased with myself, I then proceeded to clean both fridges out, cleared them of mouldy foodstuffs then settled down for a bit of East Africa holiday browsing. Success!

On Sunday the sun was shining but my head convinced me I deserved a day of doing nothing, and I spent it doing silly things like browsing eBay for things I am not intending to buy, and planting strawberries on Farmville and ridiculous stuff like that. By 3pm I was kicking myself for not having taken a book to a park somewhere (or something, maybe it was still too cold for that!) and got rid of a little guilt by doing a little more work on my Forever Angels scrapbook and peeling enough potatoes and carrots to feed the street. 

Anyway today I was back at work and, still in awe of how well I feel, I had a really good day, I was full of enthusiasm with the kids and came home to clean my room, sew buttons on said dry cleaned coat and watch The Secret Millionaire.

I find this programme amazing. I am in awe of people who can watch this type of thing then carry on with their lives, as I can't. I sit and think about it in minute detail... anyway tonights episode kind of summed up why Productivity and Positivity is important. You never know what is round the corner.
