Mooloo's "Making my future, one stitch at a time"?

Savvy_sewing

I have finally started to work on my accounts! Something I should have been doing at least every week, but didn't. I've spent about 4 hours on it at the moment. Will need to do more tomorrow. How I can sort out my PayPal transactions I am not so sure.
I may need to change my accounting packs as the one I am using isn't really suited to my business since I changed to the shop.

Went out for a wonderful meal in Oxford. Never heard of the place be for. Byrons burgers . The meal was very tasty, the service second to none. It really rounded up a great start to the new year.
I suppose this may be against rules as it's a product endorsement? But if your ever in George St in Oxford you should go!

Spent the morning reading a book on my kindle, and then did a bit of searching unsuccessfully for a pair of black trousers. I don't want leggings, or jeans, or jodhpurs!
I think I better gather together my patterns and see what fabric I have in my stash and make myself some!
This afternoon I collect DGD from her Mums. It's been a strange few days without her, getting to be an adult and go out in the evenings etc
But I shall be glad to go home and to tackle my washing mountain, and continue to declutter my drawers etc.
I'm not used to so much time on my hands!

I'm home, 3 wash loads done. DGD collected, and in demand mode. Her Mum is already looking huge! And is supposed to only be Abt 10 weeks pregnant! Heaven help her as she's moaning about back ache already.
It appears he hasn't moved in yet, he's going back away tomorrow anyway.
He doesn't appear to have the job he said was here for him.
DS is due to vacate his place by Monday. He had a meeting at the council this afternoon, but I don't know the outcome.
I have three days to declutter, work on my goals, and get organised for opening the shop again!
For now, I'm about to go to sleep. Too many late nights, glasses of wine and rich foods.

I have only just got up about 15 minutes ago!
Cup of tea at my side, and a list of things to tackle as long as my arm.
I woke far too many times in the night, had massively weird dreams, and struggled to get up. Too many changes to my routine. I shall be glad to get back to work this coming week.
DGD is watching Peter Pan, a DVD she got at Christmas.
I have put another wash load on, that's the final big wash then caught up, but I need to hang up the wet stuff. That will have to wait until after my shower though. Before I turn the house into a laundry.
I think the tree etc can come down today, and the Christmas be packed away for another year.
I hope to get my de cluttering hat on, and start on the drawers in the sitting room. I did the kitchen ones (most of them) before Christmas.
There are 9 drawers in here, and three bookcases. I may be some time sifting through that lot. But I will start with one set at a time. It will be less daunting.
I have some thermal bags to sort out in the next couple of days as well.
I should make more than the two needed so I can have them in the shop. Something I had planned to do when I opened, but never got around to doing.
Less procrastination required in the Mooloo camp.

Lets hope it is not twins - I would have a scan organised if i was her midwife xxx

Savvy_sewing

Yes she will be seeing midwife on Wednesday and a scan is booked for the end of the month.
Hope your feeling better Molly.
Did your sons reference today. Good luck in his job search.

I have spent the last two hours emptying my food cupboards, then listing it all and putting it back. I have a lot of approved food stocks I must incorporate into the menu plans or I will be wasting money. I did have to throw some stuff out. I think 2009 was a bit too far out of date! I'd not used it in 6 years I doubt I would use it!!
I am using my electric a bit fast today, the bathroom fire and extractor fan are on, drying the mountains of washing I had. Naughty and not cost efficient, but needs must.
I'm having a well earned cup of tea before I tackle anything else. Should have been the drawers in the front room, but I figured the food store really did need it more.
I even cleaned the deep fat fryer! Another yuk job tackled.
Tomorrow I will do the freezers. Then I will be in a good position to work out meals for a while.
Well that is the theory anyway.
Wondering if I should put my scribbles on a spreadsheet. Then put it in some sort of order.
I suppose that would be the most logical to do. But I'm not always very logical.

Savvy_sewing

So yesterday I spent hours sorting out the store cupboard.
This afternoon after taking the Christmas decorations down and getting a friend to help me put them in the loft, I have been on the laptop putting all my stores on a spreadsheet.
I am embarrassed to say there are some 300 items in them.
So the next task is to start making meals based on the cupboards and get them reduced.
Mind you 3kg of Yorkshire pudding mix might take some using. As well as sponge cake mix, and the like!
It's a horrible grey day. Feels much later then it is.
Tonight at 7.15 I get to go and collect my new to me bike!
Then the fun begins! (: I have to learn how to ride a bike !
For now, I better get back to my menu planning!

Savvy_sewing

Yeah I got my bike!
It's rather large, purple, and now I've got to learn to ride it! Once it's checked for safety of course.

Well done! Sounds exciting. Good luck with it.
