  • I am leaving the decluttering for today. Going to see my best friend and her kids. Must stop in Sainsburys and get some food for lunch.

    things to do

    1. send e mail about cages
    2. ring the vets
    3. ring the car people about windows

    there is more but I am really not feeling so well today. Gerbils woke me up with some serious chewing in the night was convinced they had chewed their way out of the cage. it was about three in the morning and I am !!!! at disrupted sleep.

    so I am off for a lay down - at 9 in the morning - how lazy and self indulgent!!!!

    Morning Buffy
    Am back on decluttering bandwagon big style.

    10 things out of the house via one method or another, everyday until 31/12/11.

    Visited two friends over the the last week, one has a new small house and she lives with the pleasure of total minimalism. As soon as I walked in it was a calm relaxed place to be. Yesterday other friend massive old house, clutter everywhere. But she's always been like that and I admire her house is a home attitude, but when I look at my house it's between the two..and I want the calm relaxed feeling ! Not going to get retentive about it just seriously have a go :)

  • Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    I have no motivation.

    a big fat can't be arsed attitude.

    I was really happy cos my sis isn't visiting today YEA and it is a good opportunity to get on with stuff - DECLUTTERING oh My GOD I hate that word!!!!!!!

    I have to get on. I have a found a great guinea pig run I can use indoors over winter which would be great and easy to use. but Until I get rid of all that crap in the conservatory I can't buy it and the guinea pigs are restricted to the tiny run (esp as it !!!!ing down at the moment) and it is not good enough.

    At this precise moment with a cup of tea on the sofa that thought isn't moving me.

    How do you cure abject laziness!!!!

    Personally I find the flylady bingo page on facebook very motivating

    You play along with other people so there is a feeling of accountability plus encouragement to keep going. Really helps the time fly too.

    You are a genuis, it worked really well and I will doing it again !Thanksxxxx

    right now one of my good friends is having a very difficult meeting and I can't focus on anything. might just get changed out of track suit bottoms and be ready to go over in case she needs me. Well she'd never actually say she needed me but you get the idea.

  • In order to combat the OVERwhelming anixious feelings at both the lack of text and FB updates from ym friend I shall think aloud on here.

    Goals you got to have goals. I do like my 101 list. very motivating.
    my top five at the moment are
    1. lose 40 pounds in wieght through exercise and healthy eating
    2. See more of my friends (esp when I go back to work)
    3. Finish my masters.
    4. Be prepared for school - up to date for when we go back(Am dreading it and in complete denial as usual)
    5. Keep the house clean and tidy by doing FLylady

    am so sleepy.

    thought I'd want to ramble on some more, but I don't have it in me!

    *stares at phone* * worries*
