Organise ’08

Organise? Renovate? Contemplate?

November 24, 2008

Organise ’08? That is the exact opposite of our life right now. Instead being all nicely scheduled and organges we are leaping wildly from one commitment to another, trying to cram in all the stuff we need to get done. It’s not horrible, actually it is often quite enjoyable, but it is tiring and I’d [...]

Organise ’08 – diaries calendars and planners…

November 17, 2008

It seems that November is the time of year for all the new diaries and calendars to come out. I am suddenly over run with calendar ace-ness and wondering what I might get to try and keep us on track for next year. For the past two years we’ve used a kikki k family calendar [...]

Organise ’08 – Clothes Storage Dilema

November 10, 2008

I think it’s safe to assume that if I couldn’t manage to get to the bottom of the laundry basket when life was reasonably sane, then there is little chance that it is going to happen now, mid November when life is totally mental. But (are you really not supposed to start a sentence with [...]

Organise ’08 – Am I still chasing my tail?

October 6, 2008

Of late I’ve been contemplating if I have reached any of my organisation goals. Am I really any more organised than I was at the start of the year?? I wanted to de-clutter the house and make our spaces work for us, make a plan to actually get some housework done, stay on top of [...]

Renovate ’08/09… Kitchen Dreams

September 22, 2008

Soooo I am in this in between limbo land, having seen the architect who patiently listened to all our mad ideas, measured the house and then disappeared with a promise to draw up plans that we’d all be happy about. So now we wait. We wait for the much anticipated first draft plans to arrive. [...]
