I gave in and bought chocolate.......thought I deserved it after my valiant efforts today

(any excuse)

Anyway, what is this organised home website you are referring to.....I would love (I think) to find out what my clutter personality is!!

Tia/other Scottish mums - DD is supposed to be back to school on Wednesday, but wont be because of the UNISON strike in Scotland. (The strike in England & Wales was in July. Not sure about NI)

DS1 went back today but is off on Wednesday! AND more annoyingly... my bin won't be collected! :mad:

It's a lovely prayer isn't it. I cross stitched the first verse years ago, will have to find the sampler, it's been packed away since I moved a few years ago.

Hi skintscotslass, do you mean the Serenity Prayer?

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

Amen.

Thats exactly what I meant! I will copy and paste into word and print out on an A3 piece of paper.

Thank you

I dont know if it makes me really sad or just an awful mother, but I thought about the bins before the implications for school!!!

Yes, definately the wisdom I need to pray for.

Afternoon, just having a little break, doing great in the kitchen and having a bit of a declutter, can't wait to get it really sorted next week.

Just wondering if I really want it white - it is cream at moment.

Polkadot you are doing great, welcome and you can ask us anything you like.

I fancy looking at the organised home website - I'll google it later or I'll get distracted

G&B how is your burn?

Michelle welcome home. So many people are really starting to feel the pinch, us included as our tax credits have just been reduced by quite a bit now OH is on a permanent wage. Do you have any stuff left to ebay?

? DS2 desperately wants some more geomags but they are so costly, even on ebay - anyone seen any discounted anywhere?

Pooh I hope the book arrives soon

Right back to it and time to start tea - fish fingers and chips here today and like you michelle we don't have a whole load in the cupboards or freezer

i can relist some books and dvds on amazon, but most of the baby stuff my sisters loaned me and they'll want back.

ds1 had fishfingers with a waffle and some peas.;) We had some leftover butternut squash and red lentil soup for dinner. I have found some random portions of mince based meals in the freezer,

i will have to go to the shops tomorrow for milk and some fruit and veg, but will write a very limited list, after menu planning tonight.


I've not managed a lot since my last post:

• washed up breakie and lunch dishes
• repotted some pepper seeds that had grown well
• cooked ds1s tea

Dustykitten

Here is the site I looked at - not sure if it is the same at the others.

http://www.organizedhome.com/clutterer-within-whats-your-clutter-personality

Loosing the will with the kitchen, need to clear the table for tea and then I'm leaving the floor until tomorrow as I'm all flown out.
