9 areas of my life are a mess, I will make each area better every day in 2010

hi renovation.girl, hope you don't mind me popping into your diary.

I really like the way you're focussing on different areas of your life. I've been trying to do something similar, but not thinking about it in such a structured way. Hope you don't mind if I steal your idea .

I love your patchwork wallpaper (another idea I might shamelessly steal at some point in the future :rotfl:).

Well done on your OU assignment.

Afternoon!

Well, I've been making the most of the time before the children come home and invade my space, and have tidied a bit and done some ruthless decluttering - only a couple of bags' worth, and a boxfile of paperwork, but it is a bit more order that is now in my home, so I will be satisfied with that for now.

And my "meditation" for today has included turning up the stereo very loud, and singing along as I work.......very good for the soul

Hi RG :hello:

I started reading your diary the other night, then fell asleep Not 'cos it was boring - au contraire - I LOVE the wallpaper idea. When I saw your inspiration I thought it was going to look bonkers, but it looks great. Even the door panels - fab attention to detail - thought I'd stumbled onto Living Etc forum by mistake!

As for the house - as a fellow DFW said to me:

"Cleaning the house whilst the children are growing, is like shoveling snow before it's stopped snowing"

That's my new mantra

hiya, there is nothing like a bit of order in your space. and then nothing like children to come and disorganise it all again for you lol. i built some shelves out of a recycled 70s unit today, bit wonky but does the job. edit, the cupboard at the bottom i built round the gas meter.
have a great week everyone, i am working on the moz and don't get much time on pc weekdays. xxx:D

Hiya RG - I've just read this from start to finish and you've really got me thinking about which areas of my life I need to focus on. Cheers for the inspiration my lovely! :T

Our house and our wardrobes have got cluttered again and we're really so much happier when we have room to move / breathe / grow.

I really should be listing some stuff I've sorted out on eBay but the one thing I am truly excellent at is procrastinating! Honestkly - I am legendary. I have to get up extra early to allow for all the inevitable faffing around and still get everything done!

Keep at it honeybun!

renovation.girl

well i have straightened out the front room and it is a real feeling of achievement to have one room totally sorted. i can sit here and not think about the rest of the house lol xxx:D

edit, have slumped a little, wednesdays are think about relationships days and im feeling a bit lonely. i think i throw myself into diy to escape thinking about the carp things. im going to have a can of beer and try to cheer up a bit.x
