    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 😊

    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.

    What’s The Organised Mum Method? Is like a Fly Lady but for organising tasks etc? If so, I need that.

    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.  

    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.

    Oooh this sounds amazing! I'll get googling and get onto this, as it sounds like it will be a great game changer for me too.
