Lost in the middle - getting organised and debt free

Aesop

woohoo glad to hear you are all moved

enjoy the new place and the bath

Marru

Still loving the new place, still living amongst bags and boxes. Priority now exam so head will go down and I will ignore all the other stuff.

My new challenge started well. Friday I got rid of one big bag of craft stuff (dumped to DD's school) and colleague took baby bath, baby bath thermometer and potty. Saturday I got rid of bread maker.

Sunday I don't think I did anything so need to step up my game tonight. There are some papers I need to find and also study plan needs to be made.

Good luck with work. Remember small manageable targets and reward yourself when one is complete. Good luck Marru.

15 min bursts are good.

Glad to hear that you are settling into your new home Marru - remember to take time for yourself too amongst all this work petal

Hello!

Feeling pretty good. I think the house has really changed my life to the better. It has such a good energy.

So as you might remember one part of my challenge is to spend more time with animals. I have now asked my LL if I can keep a cat or two in my new place and she said yes. I have now printed contact details of my local rescue and I am going to visit them on Saturday. I have some rodent feeding bowls I can donate them and then I can ask about fostering. Also I could ask about doing some animal communication/Quantum Touch/Tellington Touch there.

So that is decluttering and spending time with animals - two in one

But I have ordered some stuff but that is to help me getting organised. I have ordered big magnetic white board and frog magnets. Should sort me out :rotfl:

And I do have a shopping list for the house but I am going to keep it to the minimum. Some of it I might get from freegle but I really want to have a proper comfy sofa. But I think a mini challenge for that is in place

Hooray this looks really positive. Well done. Kittens, cats will be good for you and cheer you up.

Done all my filing at work. :j Wish I could say the same about home.

Bit of a panic this morning. I had completely forgotten I was supposed to go to this presentation tonight about PER. Thank goodness BF had it on his diary and called me to ask if his baby sitting services were still required. So he is picking DD up from after school club and take her to Beavers while I am taking the train to the city. I have maps printed so I should be ok.

DD has a shopping list for the new house as well: trampoline, paddling pool with slide and piano :rotfl: . After the exam I shall see what freegle can provide for us. But there is no room for the piano untill most of the books are gone.

So hopefully during the summer I can make a big dent to the book piles and then use the money for a decent sofa. Perhaps I need to investigate savings accounts to keep the money separate. Goes off to add that to the todo list...

Got my notice board :j Now I just need to see if I can hang it up straight away or if I need a trip to DIY store for bits.

Presentation yesterday was great. I am now much more confident about doing my PER and also have a better idea which objectives I am aiming to do at what point. My aim is to do three over the summer before the studying for December exams start.

Productive day today. I have called RM (bloody useless that was), called for old and new meter readings for water, electricity and gas. Got my fringe cut, taken DD for her swimming lesson, dropped off couple of letters belonging to previous tenant into post box, popped around old house to drop a note to tell where to redirect post that might have gone there (my redirection won't kick in until tomorrow) and am pretty upto date with all my work stuff. So chuffed. Except studying needs to start happening.

As you can tell I have now BB connection at home. I have to say that I am pretty impressed with the new providers. Everything happened when I was told it is going to happen and was so easy and hassle free and quick. I haven't been in iplayer or youtube as yet thou to test the speed.

Not eaten the bailiff frog as yet. It is scheduled for lunchtime tomorrow. Also I haven't heard from the court. I am afraid that ex is pulling me along with that and have no intentions of cancelling it just to get me there unprepared :mad:. I might need to send new letter early next week if nothing happens.

All sounding great apart from ex & balliff's.
