    Improve your environment. Pay attention to how the things you surround yourself with make you feel. Pick at least one thing in all the following areas and upgrade in a way that gives you even more joy and energy:
    • Your home
    • Your car
    • Your clothes
    • Your general appearance
    • Your exercise routine
    • The food you eat
    • The music you listen to
    • The news you pay attention to
    I love this list. Thank you. I needed to hear that :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    So an update. I'm pleased with my achievements today. I feel very exhausted though. Still it highlights the work ahead of me to get everything sorted but every little step is a positive one.:j

    Today I did

    Get up to date with washing. Done
    Hang curtains. Done
    Make space in spare room for airer - buy new airer. Done
    Buy two new long sleeve jersey tops. I have none without holes. Done
    Clear out three bags of rubbish/charity shop/recycling. Take to charity shop. one bag for charity shop. Loads of junk thrown out and a big pile to recycling. This has now been deposited at the charity shop
    Pay a small amount of debt.
    Do lots and lots of housework!. Forever Ongoing

    I will also start my woodwork in the hall. Not started

    My huge step forward today has been the charity shop run. It was all DS's t shirts. He wouldn't wear any this year as he likes his arms covered and they would not have fit next year if he changes his mind. Throwing out his stuff has always been a massive struggle so such an achievement for me.:T I don't think I could do the baby or toddler stuff though. I suppose as long as the saved pile doesn't get bigger I will be ok.

    I'm going to spend half an hour in the sewing room then have a nice bath. I really wish I was off work tomorrow to carry on. Tomorrow night DS is going to a new football club :eek:(we don't do football in this house -Where did I go wrong with him):rotfl:, so nothing will be done tomorrow night. I guess I will have to wait until Friday after work. :(.

    Thanks for your support everyone. Now if someone could wire my jaw shut when donuts are in town I would be ok. No wonder I rarely buy them.

    Night all

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Leaving the third doughnut in the bag when it so clearly wanted to join the others would have smacked of heartlessness - so you did the right thing. :)

    Just give yourself a rest from doing that particular right things again tomorrow. :D

    Absolutely crackingly good going on the jobs list (especially the hard-to-part-with tee shirts - but maybe they will make someone else happy). About the art department - perhaps you need to be keeping an ear to the ground for a full-time opportunity there?

    I have to leave even numbers of thinigs so that the boys don't argue. If I eat one to many, I have to have another to balance it out. Then I have to eat the last two so they don't realise that I had them in the first place.
