Happy Friday 😎 My gas/electric has gone up by £110 a month too, I was worried it would be a lot more.Well done on getting ahead with Christmas. I used to do this but don’t have as many presents to buy these days. I do like to pick things up early if I come across something suitable.
I also follow TOMM and have just subscribed to the Patreon app cleaning podcasts which are great, very motivating.Have a lovely time with your family today 😊I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -

There are a few free podcasts on the podcast app (iPhone), not sure about where you get android podcasts from. The Patreon app is £3.20 a month and has loads more so worth it to me. You can get it via the App Store.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Its a process to help with housework, its fab! look up TOMM method on web. Essentially there are 3 levels , Level 1` are daily jobs you allocate 15 minutes in a morning then Level 2 id day specific jobs, 30 minutes on a specific room per day (Monday to Friday) then Level 3 which is a Friday Focus, again 30 minutes on a different area of the home, so by the weekend every room has been looked at through the week leaving weekends chore free.Keedie said:What’s The Organised Mum Method?

Also come Christmas time there is a countdown to help with everything to do with Christmas so by 1st December everything is bought and wrapped with food ordered etc.
