Grand October Plan update!!

Well, I've been a busy bee this afternoon. I've nested in the living room with Saffy curled up on a cushion nearby, logged on to the internet and done sooooo much stuff I had planned to do for months but hadn't gotten around to!! Its annoying - when you spend all day at work infront of a computer, you feel less inclined to turn one on when you get home. Even if its to do things that are nice for yourself!
Anyway to day I have:
  • Made use of my 10% discount (which only had 2 days left on it!!!) and bought some yummy scented candles and oils for the house from Starchild - I can't wait for those to arrive!
  • We had already cleared out the house (and in particular the loft) in September, but I hadn't noted it down. We are in danger of the clutter reappearing so I need to be quite strict with my lovely other half. We have VERY different views on what is acceptable as clutter! I don't mind pretty clutter (ie/ a basket of minibooks in the corner, a notebook and pen somewhere. But I HATE muddy shpes in the hall and the fact that he refuses to put any of his paperwork away - thus the huge stack of dusting papers on his bedside table. I have offered a basket for this purpose. It was declined. I shall get tough, and just ditch it (or at least tell him I've done that!!!) to get my point across!!!!
  • I have sorted out my health (apart from the fact I have a yuck cold at the moment) by registering and visiting a dentist for the first time in 10 years (blush, yes 10 years!!) It wasn't too awful. I needed 3 fillings (which aftrer 10 years isn;t too bad I guess!) The fillings were as bad as I remembered but I have promised myself I will go for regular check ups and be very mindful of my teeth as they are the only set I have!!
  • I have organised my 2 1/2 years and counting crystal study notes into folders that are well ordered and easy to refer to. I am soooo happy to have done this! I am going to decorate the folders a little bit when I get chance so they look pretty on the bookshelf!
  • I have bought my ticket to Bath for the Christmas market and a day out with my dear friend. From this experience I have learned NEVER to put off buying tickets again! I had a ticket saved but not paid for that would have cpst me £14. As I left it too long I ended up paying £34 pounds for the same journey :0( I truly thought that 5 weeks was advance but clearly not (fail!)
  • I have paid my dear friend for the lovely cards I bought from her (I love to scrapbook but just can't seem to make a decent card!! Maybe oneday this will come, I think probably not!
  • I have planned a routine for cooking and shopping that is more organised and hopefully healthier for us. I have made the huge decision to start eating meat again. Well, I think I have!! I feel guilty at the thought of it, but my diet has steadily been declining into eating nonsense and I think I may need this focus to bring it back on track. Not to mention I have started to crave meat again.  I think I will give it a go with one meat meal a week and if that works I'll stick with it, if it doesn't I know I can happily live as a veggie!!
Well thats it so far! LOADS to do over the next two days if I want to get the plan all sorted for a fresh new Celtic New Year :0)

ps/ I've got all the Halloween decs to make yet too, so if any of you have any links for groovy hybrid or fabric decs please leave a comment or link :0)
