How it is going

Time for the weekly update on my New years aims.


  • to finish decorating/ making our home our own
  • I have almost finished decluttering the kitchen- one cupboard and the shelves to go.
  • to save for the future
  • I have continued to send money across each week into my savings for a treat I am trying to save for.
  • to enjoy more family fitness
  • We have spent time playing on the wii last weekend, and put together a plan to make more time for this. Stephanie's illness put pay to that today. However I got her temp down to 37.8 before bedtime so hopefully we'll be able to spend some time out exercising together this weekend.
    I have moved all chocolate etc from the house to reduce temptation. 
  • frugal- I want to make what we have go further
  • I made all of our dinners this week using food in the house, I have bought some veg and eggs, that is all. I have frozen 6 meals from batch cooked dinners we have had.
  • to fix things- I have lots of things around the house that need mending/ altering that I haven't got around to doing.
  • I have fixed the storage cube in Stephanie's room and put all her ponies away. I fixed something else as well, I remember getting the tool box out, it has escaped me what it was I mended though....
  • to finish things, I have several craft projects started 2013 is the year to finish things off.
  • I am still working on the cross stitch I have done a lot of stitches on the 2nd horse.

    I will leave you there with some pics from our day home poorly;

    1. Thanks for the update about your 2013 goals Sarah.

      Great progress on

      Decluttering the kitchen. You are almost there.

      Saving for your future treat..I’m getting very curious.

      I love your family fitness ideas.

      Frugal-you are doing really well with using up. A very short shopping list. You sound very organised.

      Good to hear you are fixing things. What a lady!

      And you are so clever doing cross stitch too. It’s going to look fabulous!

      Your soup looks yummy!

      Have a great week!

    2. thank you, but I'm not super organised. LOL that's why I have so much to do. I'm trying to become more organised. Listing it all here helps me to keep going as I can see although I still have lots to do I'm on the way :-)
