I have made a folder of all the tasks from "Michele Connoly's 30 Day Organise-athon" and slowly making my way around the house. While I was waiting for the toast to cook the other morning, I tidied and culled my cutley drawer. Took 5 minutes and it has made a difference already.
I have tidied the side garden (with help from Mum - thanks!) and we paved a little bit so the rubbish bins can be moved out easier now. Did I go buy some new pavers? No dug up the ones from under the outside washing line that I hardly used and we laid them. I wanted to paint the fence a particular colour and happened to mention it to friends in conversation and they had a 4L tin of paint in a similar colour to what I wanted. My friend ended up giving it to me for free as they couldn't use it. Thanks N!!!
When I am doing some storage I am trying to use boxes and containers that have been lying around for years gathering dust. Trying to save money as well as getting rid of the clutter! It is quite a joy when you are recycling things around the home and see areas starting to look tidier and more orderly.

On a downer.....
As I said in my first post, I will have my ups and downs. After allowing myself to taste bread, cheese and other high carb yummies over the past few weeks it has caught up with me. For weeks I plateaued on 83kg but today on the scales I have had a gain and now 84.5kg... Not good!
So tomorrow is the start of a new day and new week of detoxing off carbs...again!! I was doing brilliantly without these foods and did not crave them. But as soon as I had a taste of cheese, bread, sugary foods I was craving them! Its not fair that the yummiest food is the worst for you! So back onto my TF regime strict and starting from scratch!
Life will have its ups and downs! Need to knuckle down again and get my control back over food. Weather permitting I am not going to use the car unless I have to this week and see how that goes as well as back on TF. I think the main thing is the water consumption this really has to be stepped up again and no excuses!!
