Lets get Kit sorted

Right I need to get my life sorted. I think being so disorganised is leading to me spending more money than needed.
I make lists all the time but I lose them and to be honest no one ever see thems so I don't have any one to explain why i've not completed them.
So if I put them down here then I will feel I have to do them
So list for today

Well done for making a start Kit. I know what you mean about the washing - I do the same thing
and taking food out of the freezer too
I'm on first name terms with the woman in our local chinese!!!
I'll subscribe to your diary and I look forward to seeing the progress! Good luck with the OLB...I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions...0 -

Done for today.
Did a few extra bits as well so feeling like I am a bit more on top of things.
Have another load in the WM and hopefully tomorrow I can get it out to dry.
Think I am also going to note my spends on here as well so I can easily refer back to them.
So today I have spent
£20 Electricity
£89 At the hairdressers
£10 Cash - A magazine, bottle of juice and used a fiver change for a tip at the hairdresser.
£6 at farmfoods.
Aiming for tomorrow and sunday to be NSD.Feb 2012 Grocery Challenge £200/£4.00

Hairdressers are shockingly expensive aren't they? I try and always colour my hair myself although I do have it cut locally @ £30 per go. I try and eek it out to 10 weeks per go though

Good luck with the NSD's...I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions...0 -
Little bit dizzy my hairdresser said I should get my colour done every 6 weeks but I have be known to eek it out to 12 weeks but my hair is short so I can get away with it but she was telling me yesterday she is going to give it up as a full time job and do something totally different but do homers on the side, so fingers crossed she does and I can get it done for a bit less.
So todays list.
[STRIKE]
Hang washing outside
[/STRIKE]Put another load in the washing
Iron and put away yesterday's dried clothes
Dishes[STRIKE]
Take something out freezer for dinner
[/STRIKE]Make a start on my bedroom i.e sorting through clothes
Give kitchen a quick clean
Have a NSD day
Kids got a £1 each from their grandma the other day and I think they may want to get a lolly from the shop later but as it's their money I can count this as a NSD, I have one lolly left in the freezer so I can have that one.

Good luck, Kit. Your list really struck a chord with me. I am cured of leaving clothes in the washing machine for days on end because I now have so few I would have to go naked if I did. I know it is wash day when I have to wear my "emergency knickers" (the ones I normally avoid wearing because I don't like them). I have to confess, though, that ironing is never on my list."Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;"
I'd love to be a good example - instead, I am a horrible warning.0 -
Wordsmith I hate ironing and thankfully most things I tumble so don't need ironing but the line dried stuff from yesterday needs it and I know what you mean by emergency knickers lol.
