Today

Is Wednesday! I've been away with work this week already, and away again tomorrow. One of my afternoons was spent listening to a life coach. He was pretty good and the best bit was he made me realise that I need to get goal setting again. A task I find so monotonous and I might do it, but never refer to it! He explained that is Pareto's rule (80% of people do the same 20% make the change) if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got Well I want to be the 20%! He recommends an expensive journal to log it all. Now That Motivates Me :) Anyway, off for zzzzzzz but will post some glimmers of brilliance soon.....

Cozy

Floor cushions. Yes please.

Fabric invites

Awesome! Mine were nice but ah, do I wish Meadow had these as her 1st birthday invites.

The Dollar

I have zero cash this month. The OBH needs skirting boards (!) and Meadow needs a new bedroom door (don't ask- but when I say 'buy cheap-buy twice' you get my drift), my chair needs recovered and I also need new jeans and a haircut. Fact.
Anyway.
I need to budget and stop spending £10 a day on ridiculous luxuries (Starbucks) and I actually 8/10 think their coffee sucks anyway....
So.
I am photographing everything I buy and logging it on a spreadsheet (and hoping as I HATE excel that in itself will stop me)
Wish me luck.

Sunday

Current obsession in our house. Dark chocolate rice cakes. We fight over them. Meadow usually wins. The cowhide rug does well too.
