I now have a list to get down else I am going to forget stuff I have to do this week.

LIST FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS
1) help DS1 with homework work in progress but getting there
2) washing washing washing and on and on and one
3) find clothes for touch tonight took too long sigh but done
4) package up 3 trademe parcels and to the post office done
5) 2 hats 1 done 1 on the pins
6) list 5 more things on trademe 14 DONE!!!:A:AThey had a free gallery picture day yesterday, so thought it would be rude not to take advantage of it:D
7)find a pair of touch shoes for DS2 (he left his by the playground and of course when we went back they weren't there :mad::mad:)glad I took him, as he is actually as US3 rather than a US2:eek:, so I would have got the wrong size. BUT they were the cheapest pair $40 from $60 so that was a result!
8) See deputy head tomorrow regarding DS1 and possible dyslexia (saw here once already this week, because he is such a bright kid and yet still routinely at 9 says words back to front etc). Seen the head, and we all agree that testing is the way forward. He already gets teachers aid time, but the testing would mean they could focus the time he already has.
9) Sort out who is taking who to cricket and touch tournament on Saturday think it will be me to cricket and OH to touch.
10) Check all surf life saving kit is where I think it is. done going to be wet on the beach on sunday so must look out some fleeces
the day
12) Go swimming
13) Walking school bus 3 times. done for this week, just need to keep the motivation going for next week.
14) Sort out holiday for January with OH else the people we want to use will be booked
15) Still find a baby sitter.
16) Take electrical bits to electrician to see if he can resurrect my kenwood chef they have fitted them, and will only cost another $15 so yahoo next week i have my machine back:j
17) Input receipts and do budget for next 4 weeks.
18) Take DS1 to fireworks on Friday (get tickets).
19) Take permission slips back to scouts so DS1 can go on various trips (and pay for them:()done.
I am sure there is other stuff but that will keep me going lol.

Shopping was bargainous today. Virtually everything I wanted was on discount:D I may have celebrated with a twix:o.

Weather here is cloudy so hopefully it won't be too wet for the tournament tomorrow. There is virtually no shelter where they play, so it would be a very wet day for spectators and players alike. I will be at cricket, (which would get cancelled due to rain), and then coaxing DS1 through the rest of his homework......

Let’s talk about cloths shall we? I cannot believe how brilliantly you got rid of yours. I finally managed to clean my wardrobe. I have cloths ranging from size 6 to size 16, because while my life was a bit mad I couldn’t keep my weight under control. I was going up and down constantly hence cloths in all sizes.

My weight now seemed to be stabilized at size 12, but I would like to get that down to 10 because I am only tiny 5 ‘ 2 .

I am keep saying - I am going to do car boat sale , but always have an excuse , the new one is , oh it is very cold and wet so I cannot do car boat… Mmmm I could just list them on eBay but somehow I am keep putting this off too. Shame on me! I need motivation. I will never be size 6/8 or size 16/14 ever again but shocking thing is I still want to keep those cloths, silly silly silly me…!!! And it looks like I have nothing for winter- Worst, I refuse to spend money on cloths right now- I refuse spent money on anything non essential so I think I will have a fun this winter this year, if only I didn’t have to go to the office time to time.

Anyway, I like the way you listing your tasks, I have the same , paper version though x

Size 6 clothes go quite well on ebay, so worth doing them.

My weight now seemed to be stabilized at size 12, but I would like to get that down to 10 because I am only tiny 5 ‘ 2 . I want to be a size 12 as well, but like food too much lol. Still am exercising more now, so it WILL happen:D
I could just list them on eBay but somehow I am keep putting this off too. Shame on me! Turbolister makes this a much less painful job. It is free to download from ebay. It means you can get some listings done, whenever you have a surge of enthusiasm, rather than HAVING to do it at x time in the evening.

I need motivation. I will never be size 6/8 or size 16/14 ever again but shocking thing is I still want to keep those cloths, silly silly silly me…!!! Emotionally attachments to clothes is the biggest one to get rid of. I have to say there are still some clothes luring in my wardrobe that I haven't managed to part with yet for just this reason.


it looks like I have nothing for winter- here is your incentive to get selling! use the money you make on ebay to fund some winter pieces. Even if you just get some bits from the charity shop, then it is a win win situaition. You have decluttered, and you have got some stuff back that you will wear.

Anyway, I like the way you listing your tasks, I have the same , paper version though x

The lists stop me forgetting something important. In fact my next post is to remind what is happening this coming week LOL.

DS2 went to a touch rugby tournament and his team won woohoo. He is very proud of his trophy. He scored a lot of tried too.

DS1 also did well today at surf life saving. They do a run into the water then swim along and then run back out again and he came 2nd. Then doing the same thing but with a board, he came 1 3 times. Go DS1

So very proud mummy here

Sort out date with garage to get window sorted out.
Fit in going swimming not sure how this week!
Send off my cv to a couple of jobs - tweek as necessary:eek::T


Right that should keep me out of mischief for a bit.

In other news I was so chuffed on Sunday. I had bought at half wetsuit in the local charity shop for $8 for my DS1 but it was miles too big for him. It was only when I realised it fit me that I realised how much too big:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:So though his wetsuit cost me $50, my one cost me $8! Considering a new wetsuit for an adult could be at least $150 you can see why I am so pleased. AND it means I can help out in the water at surf life saving without freezing my proverbials off! As this is something that they struggle with every week (getting enough parent helpers), I am really pleased to be able to do it (and it also gets me out of helping out on the BBQ which I would HATE doing).

Well done to your DS's Chev - good going to both of them!

Also, inspired by your clothes sorting I have made an attack on my wardrobe. Two carrier bags of stuff for the charity shop, a bit more space useable, and the knowledge that the stuff that is in there, with the exception of a couple of dresses, all fits.

Thank you very much. And the inspiration just comes from someone else and goes to someone else. That is the essence of the site for me! I still have a few things that don't fit me, but I am doing far more about getting to the size where they WILL fit, so am quite sanguine about those!
