Sept - start of a 'new' year

nikki&asha

Hello again.

Not having a very good start here as not back at work/school until Wednesday....

Went into work and sorted out a few bits today, and ordered another Christmas present (only 3 more to buy plus santa themed bits wahoo!) .

Had a pj day with little one on Saturday which was much cheaper than the day I had planned at soft play and he didn't seem to mind watching shrek dvds instead! Whilst we were in I cooked a massive rice pudding to freeze into portions for in term time - unfortunately he ate loads of it over the last few days! I must freeze straight away or I am too lazy to make anything new.

Last day of summer for me tomorrow so I am going to
1. Collect DD from her Dads

2. Visit a new soft play cafe place and decide what to do/book DS's 2nd bday party in October.

3. Help DD organise her new school stuff - she is starting secondary school scary stuff!

4. Declutter/sort shoe rack (need DD for this as most of them are hers lol)


Oh just remembered I put 6 things on ebay on Saturday so maybe I haven't been as unproductive afterall.

Still haven't filled in this weeks meal plan though...

Well done for all decluttering and weight losses.

I managed to recycle a bag full of carrier bags I didn't even know existed. No other decluttering I'm afraid. I keep looking round the house though, sort of gearing myself up for a lot of decluttering later.

Had a NSD. Made some chocolate muffins for the kids's lunch boxes - well and for the grownups too. Not low calorie but healthier & cheaper than shop bought at least .

Had one of the calmest days ever with the children. Wish the whole school hols had been like that. They go back to school tomorrow and will be anxious so I have focused on having a calm day and to my surprise my plan actually worked. Fingers crossed the calmness seeps over into tomorrow. Once they are back to school I can crack on but hopefully will enjoy the aims and not get stressed out by them.

Actually just realised that I have done really well with one of aims today - work on anxiety. I feel relaxed and I never do the day before the school year starts.

little play on OS and then off for an early night so I can tackle everything better (than being tired) tomorrow

Yesterday got rid of 3 large black bags, 2 of clothes to recycle and one of rubbish plus smaller bag of shoes to recycle :T
Today was back to work plus getting son settled in uni room. went to gym before work :j:j:j now freshers are in decided 5:30pm might be rather crowded. Have gym buddy for mon, wed and fri mornings, and will probs add sat. Used up some chicken thighs lurking in the freezer for tea so quite pleased with day 3 of the 'new year'.

Start new job tomorrow .. mixed feelings as i got it last day of term so not sunk in yet but it shold save loads on petrol. I didn't even go to put usual in and willsee how i go!
Girls back tomoz so while they were making themost of playing out [their friends dont go back till thurs] I got their PE bags and uniforms ready.
I can't wait to get back into the routine of clubs/brownies/swim etc as i'm more organised as i can't think 'oh i'm off tomorrow i'll do it then' and it never gets done.

Evening folks, Better late than never but here I am . I joined the flylady thread on the OS section on sunday so today was my first day flying and gawd blimey have I achieved alot, I'm quite proud of myself .

Today I've cleared floors, cleaned and wiped work surfaces, and hoovered and mopped floors in kitchen/dining room. Wiped cupboards and drawer fronts, cleaned hob and bleached sink. Emptied bins, done 2 loads of washing and hung on line, unloaded/reloaded DW, Fed animals, Poop scooped twice, got bins in, cooked dinner, arranged a next delivery, found and ordered a christening gift, Painted a sign for a customer order, and Finaly ironed clothes for yoga and went to Yoga this eve.

Haven't managed to list anything on e-bay yet, but hopefully I'll get a chance tomorrow. Going back to weight watchers on wed morning, as I've slacked the past 6 weeks and my diet needs a good kick up the a**e.

First day back at work tomorrow so really must get to bed. Got to be up a 5.30. Hope everyone is getting on well with their sept resolutions. Nighty Night. x

Morning all....so pleased that that decluttering/organising is going so well for many of you.

Today I am looking after DGD so not too much will be achieved. She's 18mths old so is very active and quite demanding. Then DD and her partner are staying tonight and tomorrow I'm out allday and evening ...therefore not much will be achieved in the next 48 hours. Am however going to try and find the odd moment to declutter/organise as every small change will be a step to a new future.

Hope you all have a good day and don't forget to post so this stays where others can find it

Morning peeps, Back to work this morning, and feel quite tired now, these early mornings are a shock to the system :eek:. Got a fair bit that I want to achieve today, not sure how much will get done, but every little helps . Have a good day.

Morning all, today is the first day of my new year. DS2 went to school today, looking very smart in his new uniform. I am doing well on the weight loss as I have a tummy bug, so am not leaving the house unless I have too!! Washing just finished so I shall pop out on line and then wash curtains in prep for the car boot on Saturday!!!! Fingers crossed.
