Good luck with sneaking stuff out, ldee!

Can I join in this month please? 

I can get on board with pretty much everything this month. I have been decluttering so the 60 items will help keep me focused. Still have lots to do. 15 NSD should be doable. I don't tend to go to coffee shops often but do sometimes pop to costa when I have to go into work which I will avoid this month. I work from home so taking lunch to work is easy 

Happy to not buy toiletries or cleaning products unless I am running out. I am going to set my budgets and track all spends. 

My 2 new habits will be:
1. Eat fruit and oats for breakfast with a glass of water. 
2. Be in bed by 10pm and read my kindle - no phone/ipad after 10pm (stolen from Idee - a great idea as I tend to look at my iPad until I lie down, then my phone which I know is terrible).

For the planet, I will be trying to reduce waste.

Looking forward to daily posting to keep myself accountable. 

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday. I have just been pottering so far. Put some washing in the machine and almost dry washing from the airers into the dryer to soften it up. Unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and made a cooked breakfast for me and my 15yo. Swept kitchen floor and wiped surfaces. Tidied the fridge. Had a Tesco delivery. Going to do some batch cooking a little later and walk the pup.

Count me in as usual please! 

My targets on top of the usual turtle targets are to get half my shopping done for that day in December, to get my hallway plastered, ans to try and find a new job or get back to my old one. I've decided to start writing a work related blog to try and re-inspire me so I've set myself a mini challenge to write two blog posts in November too.

It's OH's birthday and we've booked a night away which should be fun. Budgets are already set and I know where I stand!

Love the stall ideas for this month! After October running away from me, I'm inspired to get things back in order in November. Have lots of things to declutter/donate/sell, made a start today already 😃 so please count me in!

Happy Samhain!!! 🎃🔥

Started my day with a yoga session (one of my two new habits! 😉) and 15 minutes of meditation/relaxation 😊 

I've got a busy day ahead - I'll be cleaning the house, stripping all the beds and doing any other laundry that we have, shopping for logs/coal and setting the fire for later, cooking dinner and getting out for a walk. Then it will be home for the celebrations which will start at dark! 🙌 

I'm really looking forward to the month ahead this time of year is always my time to concentrate on what I want or need and to rid myself of any 'baggage' from the last year and as the past 12 months have been pretty turbulent, I'm very grateful for that!! 😂 

So, gratitudes - I'm grateful for the opportunity to press the re-set button on my life, I'm grateful that I have an open fire that I can use to burn the things that hold me back and I'm grateful that I am beginning another year surrounded by people I love who love me.

Copy that left...

I am hoping to be able to reset in November. I need house, finance, mental and body reset. Rest and progress. 


My submissions on here might still be scattered though, as will be a mad busy month preparing for ds1 to come home between the 6th or 17th december. Last date is an extension due to my work. So 2 rooms to resort, and rearrange, a bed and mattress to buy and a mattress and bed to get rid off. For starters.

Today I will cook 2-3 dishes to put in fridge for the week, to try and eat healthier.

Grateful for wonderful day w ds2 yesterday.
For neighbour looking after dog yesterday.
Grateful for having had the whole week off, even if I have not been terribly efficient.
