Sorting the house one step at a time.

Today I have cleared a huge ironing pile. I have always left this chore until there is a mountain and then stood for hours ironing (which is no good for my back). From now on, I will do the ironing as the clothes are dried. One small change to make life easier for me so my house runs more smoothly. I have time now each day, so no excuses!!!

I have got a line of washing dry outside again today. I did need extra pegs though. I have managed to keep my washing up-to-date for quite a few weeks now, so my small changes must be working. I just need to remove bad habits and replace them with organisation.

I have meal planned this afternoon, ready to do an online shop tomorrow - another much needed change in lifestyle. Today I ate the leftover potato bake and jelly with cream for my lunch. I am getting much better at using leftovers, rather than throwing food away. I can't afford to waste a penny!

For tea today, Steve had roast mutton, roasties and veg. Ashley had the roasties and veg, but with sausages and Charlotte and I had sausage, mash and beans. I will have the mash and remaining beans for my lunch tomorrow (I can't seem to cook for four instead of five).

Charlotte very kindly dyed my hair for me this evening. I seem to have many more grey hairs in the past year and they come through much quicker than before. I can't afford for my hairdresser to dye my hair, so Charlotte puts a box dye on for me instead.

Tomorrow is another day and I hope to achieve lots in the house.

Until tomorrow ...
