Stepping into 2014- walking in My Shoes with Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

Well I haven't achieved very much today. I have put away the presents, unpacked the suitcase.
We walked to the corner shop, bought the few things needed to get us through today. Washing up liquid, matches, milk, rolls, ham, that sort of thing. Still managed to spend nearly £15
Looks like the first challenge for me is too stock take the food cupboard etc, and menu plan etc so the shopping is better planned.
It's a pity Aldi is 12 miles away.
I wanted to start de cluttering, well I did start with my clothes a few weeks ago, and the front room last Sunday, but there is a lot too do since I started the business, things need a lot of attention.
I managed two kitchen drawers today. At that rate it will take me the whole year to do. (2015/ not the rest of this year!).
I've written a lot in my diary. Seems the same challenges are in my mind each day I've been putting pen to paper and the challenges for 2015 are becoming clearer.
I still can't think of a name for the annual thread though!
Maybe Embracing the future?
We have three grandchildren coming into the world.
The business needs attention, analysing, and goal setting as much as my personal life does.
I cannot do everything for everyone, so I will just have to do my best for DGD and Myself.
What we will have to do over the next 12 months we cannot predict. But what is predictable is that it's going to be a challenge. Life is rarely dull in the Mooloo household. Or if it is, it's not for long.
Time to dish up the dinner.

How about "Making my future, one stitch at a time"?


Re de-cluttering - scheduling in regular short sessions means over time you see a difference: you could set your kitchen timer for 15 mins and see what you achieve and then give yourself permission to stop at the end.

Love it! That's a very apt one then!
Yes I think setting the timer is the way to go.
The chickens still not cooked all the way through so tea is going to be late.
DGD is playing in her room, and I'm sat in the front room literally looking like an old granny with a blanket over my knees!

So I've started the new thread. Thanks
But I'm struggling to put the link in. Perhaps because I am on the iPhone?
