  • Really struggling to motivate myself today, so far i have walked the dogs, put a load on to wash, emptied and filled dishwasher, its bleeping as i speak so will need emptying again. Used up a jar of mincemeat and made a mincemeat slice, hadn't made enough pastry so topped it with an oaty crumble topping.
    Redeemed £10 amazon voucher from swagbucks, won't get that until early next week and caught up on a few more surveys.

  • Equally unmotivated day here. Woke up today feeling a bit annoyed with myself that I did so little.

    I hate having unmotivated days, makes me feel really down. I always feel happy when I’ve been motivated and productive. We all get them unfortunately. Sounds like you got a fair bit done despite feeling like that though.

  • Morning, it's cloudy here but not raining at the moment and isn't supposed to until after lunch so will get the dogs out for a walk.

    Few more items decluttered -
    empty sweet tin
    DH paperwork (been sorting stuff out for accountant)
    phone case
    receipts
    thank you cards.

    Also found some elderflower tealights that i put away in the summer and then couldn't find, I have put them in a box that i have for candles, really need to use some up before i buy more, same goes for soap, shower gel and hand creams.

    Plans today are mainly housework, I want to get to the bottom of the washing basket, hoover through downstairs and mop, clean bathroom, sort out a weeks worth of work clothes and make a chicken and bacon pie for tea. 

    Have a great day xx

    I hope so DFOD, I hate clutter and tend to shove stuff in drawers and cupboards and think I will sort it later.
  • I'm currently burning a christmas yankee candle to use it up and then it doesn't get put away for another year, it's 2 christmas's  old.

    I sorted out some old notepads today and ripped out the pages with writing on ready to be reused. Some of the notes were dated 2007 😱
