Household Diary

jackomdj

What a lovely thread....just my cup of tea. I am a list person, I love my diary and love to be organised. I do want to be more organised this year with things like meal planning and making time to do housework etc.

I will be getting an A5 journal and getting organised.

Looking forward to spending lots of time with you lovely like minded people :T:T

I also have various notebooks. I like the ones that are the 'Project Books' which have dividers so you have separate sections and my favourite is a Household Journal. I have:
Renewal Dates - inc house and car insurance, TV licence, when MOTs due, Road Tax due.
Finance - a page for each of my bank accounts with details of direct debits (inc. who to and dates they go out), savings accounts and the date any special interest rates finish; I have a page for each credit card with all their details such as when the 0%interest rate ends, and what my limit is.
Menus - I have made a four week dinner plan, a list of meals, accompaniments, sandwich fillings.
Music - A list of all the songs I want to download.
Birthdays - a list of everyone's birthday which I look at at the beginning of every month to get the cards.
I just love stationery and the thrill of writing something on a brand new page!

And me.....and quite a pretty one too. Have recorded all my spending today & my meter readings (which I then sent to the energy company online) and forwarded it to the 31st January to do it again! Will start to fill in more tomorrow......

I forgot that I've also bought all the birthday cards I need for the month and forwarded in my diary when I need to go and stock up on February's:money:

Need to go through all the paperwork for the cars tomorrow - it always takes us by surprise when the tax is due, and DH neglected to do his MOT for 3 weeks because we hadn't double checked the date:o so will WILL be more organised this year:T

Have soo gotten in to this am organised to the max unfortunatly my kids cant read so they dont keep to my schedule :rotfl:

Have got a shopping list on the fridge door now so when my hubby does the shopping without me around he will get what we need instead of missing half the stuff - gonna look at getting a wipe clean one to go on the fridge soon.

have made my own pin board but layering a couple of bits of thick cardboard togther covered in old wrapping paper and hole punched it and threaded through a ribon i saved from a new top. :j

already today have done 3/4 of the of the things to be done today and the excitement i get when ticking them off is ever so slightly sad

Just came across this pic on one of the home management folder sites:



You know ..... I've sort of been doing this for years!

I have folders for Pets, Car, Manuals & Guarantees (receipts stapled to manual!) and a yearly one for bills / important docs!

I haven't ever had the bits with meal planning / cleaning schedules / etc that I've done in my new one tho'!:)
