To new beginnings. To the pursuit of...somethingness.

MrsMoo2U

Ok so it is the weekend. Mr C is heading back to his parents again tomorrow and I will be "home alone". I feel completely ready for a weekend of lonesomeness in a good way. I have been pondering some things and so I will be doing an action plan for the weekend. This should help me get things moving forward for the future. Problem is Mr C is only setting off mid morning and coming back Sunday tea time so all of the jobs I have planned will need to be crammed into a very short amount of time. Here we go some of the things I have considered.
Garden

• list greenhouse on freecycle
• remove all the old plants from the pots and send them North for Mr C senior to plant up with his homegrown stuff
• take the scythe to the overgrown bits at the side and round the back

]Home

• send the summer tyres north with Mr C for storage in Mr C snrs garage
• remove all of the excess from the "room of doom" - work out where to put it all (redistribute around the house)
• move beds into ex "room of doom" to create a guest room
• work out how to put together the night storage heater that has been dismantled and put it back on the wall in the living room
• move the bookcases from the office to the lounge (only the ones with the personal books etc on)

ME

• long hot soak in a bubble bath tonight
• 1 hour on line photography course
• 1 hour practising what I learn on the photography course
• wear high heels for at least one hour this weekend
• read the magazines that I have been saving up - will do this in bed with a cup of hot chocolate!

For Others

• choose which friend/family to write to this weekend
• sort out 3 packages for posting

I love the wear high heels, I've done that in the past too, need to revisit and up the height now too I was in flatties for years, gradually building up the heel height and surprisingly the confidence came with it too Ok now more confident in the flatties too

Enjoy the pamper etc

Enjoy your weekend, pampering is good, chocolate is really good.

really liking the sound of the weekends plans

MrsMoo2U

Ah, thanks everyone. SE I love heels with a passion. Mr C is just about the same height as me though so I tend to live in flatties and only wear heels when out and about on my own. I am also on my feet a lot when working out and about so no heels there. So this weekend I am going to go through my shoe stash which I refuse to get rid of and wear a pair for one whole hour just because I can! Totally get the confidence thing. I also feel very glam and sexy in heels. Mr C says he really couldnt care if I am taller than him but I do.

“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.”

And with that in mind I am going to do a TADA LIST
HOME

• 2 lots of washing done and out to dry
• cooked breakfast to see Mr C on his way
• Walked Moo in the forest
• washed all the dishes from the last two days (I know but I have been busy) and put them away
• scrubbed kitchen worktops
• brushed and mopped kitchen floor

None of this was on my Home list for the weekend but hey ho it is now all done.
ME
[*]checked out a few new blogs and bookmarked some things to read up on - all downshifting and frugal blogs
[*]showered
[*]walked Moo in the forest (ok listed twice but covers all lists)
[*]one hour on the photography course [/COLOR]


Not too bad fro 1pm but still lots to do. Turning internet off and setting alarm for 3 and heading to the room of doom
I may be some time :rotfl::rotfl:

MrsMoo2U

Phew - 2 hours in the room of doom and it is now empty of everything! - All relocated to

• loft
• study
• kitchen
• main bedroom

:eek::eek::eek: That means I have to sort it all out in each room and each room looks :eek: but I have a cunning plan!! No it isnt to do nothing (baldrick). One room at a time, items relating in each room. Todays frog is the room of doom.
this time in two hours I will

• have brushed, hoovered, dusted and mopped all cobwebs away
• have put down the carpet that is propped up against the wall
• have moved the two beds back and place them in bedroom
• have put up a lampshade

First though a cup of tea and slice of cake.

MrsMoo2U

Phew - another hour in the room of doom and I now have beds in there and curtains and a lampshade!!! All recycled from my previous home so No spends there at all. :j:j
I couldnt lay the (left over from the stairs and hall)carpet because it was too long one way and too short the other (yes I did think to turn it :rotfl:) Still I can always put rugs down (ooo a nice stripey one).

I have twin beds but all I can say is when OH bought this house as a two double bedroomed house he was done! They just about fit with no wiggle room to get between them and no side edges to walk along.:rotfl: Although a fair bit of space at the bottom of the room which means that I can, at least, put a wardrobe in there.

Now for another cuppa, have a watch of the iplayer (maybe escape to the country) whilst sorting through a box that I have liberated from the no longer room of doom. Already found the tea set that I got from my Nan for a wedding present. Forgot I had it.
