Continuing to be Productive

With University finished for the year, I have a bit more time on my hands. This is great as I have been chipping away at things for a couple of weeks and needed more time to get on with “it”.

So I have reimplemented the little and often approach to my housework again it does mean things are getting done much more efficiently now.

My bed arrived on Tuesday, it is like climbing a mountain it is so tall compared to my old bed and it’s a massive difference from the old mattress on the floor. My son is as suggesting I need a ladder to get in it 😂

So my current successes are:

  • I have finally got all the boxes I have been collecting since September broken down and deposited in the tip.
  • I am continuing to declutter my room and hallway.
  • Working on the laundry backlog.
  • Cleaned the bathroom.

Goals for Today, Thursday and Friday

  • Work
  • Laundry & ironing.
  • Finish the hall, bedroom and living room.
  • Another tip run.

The results are palpable, every time I look round the house it looks just that little bit better and I feel a little bit happier and more motivated every day.

Home Decor Plans

There are a couple of light fixtures which need replacing they will be done in the new year, I need a bannister installing and our coat hooks put up by the front door.

The blinds in our home are broken so I will be replacing them with voiles. I have it all priced up and in January I will start by doing our bedrooms.

I have the wooden blinds in my kitchen/diner and bathroom. Honestly, I am not sure what to do with them. The dining room blinds are drilled straight into the doors so I will probably keep them for now, or not, this one is difficult to decide on but not spending money is always a winner. The kitchen blind is broken and heavy but I don’t like the idea of a voile or nets in the kitchen so maybe a roller blind later next year. At the moment the bathroom blind is the only one still working so I will definitely keep that one for now.

The living room has what I describe as office blinds, I have put up with them since we moved in and I hate them so much they have to go. So in February I will be ordering the new voiles that will give me the privacy and look I want.

I think though apart from moving some furniture around I am going to leave it at that for now. There is no need for any new furniture and I think I will decorate in a year or two.

Day 5 – Fears – November Blog Challenge 2019

I have said this before and I will say this again and again.

A wise woman once told me to:

“Never speak of your fears that way they can never be used against you”

So I have chosen to live by that my whole adult life and it is one less burden to carry with me.  I am grateful to this lovely lady for such good advice she is still missed.

Catch you later
