Achievements of This Week

This week has been rather busy but I have a managed to:

Get the hospital bags organised
Got all this weeks completed
I think I have got my course organised just waiting for September now
I have partly got the house in order so I have almost got everything organised for the arrival of the little one.
Everything now done in the nursery, I just have to finish ironing the clothes and bedding.
Spent the weekend with DS and DH
Got most of the books listed on Green Metro, I will get the rest listed next week

I am happy with my progress this week so I have decided to reward myself with a couple of days off.

Plans For This Week

This week is looking relatively busy with work but I am still determined to get a reasonable amount of blogging work completed.

My plans for this week:

• Finish getting the hospital bags organised.
• Complete all required work for clients
• Sort out college course for next year (well September)
• Get the house in order, as I do not know when my little baby will come along and what everything in order
• Finish the required work on the nursery
• Spend some quality time with DS and DH.
• Get the rest of the unwanted books listed on green metropolitan
• Make some meals and freeze then so that I have some food in the freezer for after the baby is born.

 

Small Steps

I have been thinking and I think the best way to acheive my steps is to take it a bit at a time.

My plans for today are:

1. Make a start at catching up with my Pet Sitting course
2. Plan entries to my animal blogs and put this in my diary so that it gets done on a daily basis
3. Update networking sites and put this in my diary so that it gets done on a daily basis.
4. Plan time with my mum for the coming week
5. Attend my riding lesson and book a horse riding lesson for next week
6. Continue to have no take away meals
7. Make sure that every day in next weeks diary is manageable so that I can achieve the work on a daily basis. This is a very important one as I have work to do today as I am really bad for carrying work over and it never gets done.
8. Organise a cleaning schedule and put it in my diary

I think this is everything that I will attempt to do today as it is my first day.

I have thought of something else that I will add to my list and that is to get a decent amount of sleep every night as this will be more important soon as I will be at college.

My 101 Steps
