One thing to change

I've been thinking a lot lately about little changes I wanna make in my life - changes that are reasonably small, but will make a big difference to how things run in our house and how I feel. Things like.....

- be in bed by 1Opm
- drink more water
- eat more fruit\veges for snacks
- make all the beds first thing in the morning
- put washing away in drawers when it's folded, instead of leaving it on the dining room table
- don't go on the comp til morning chores are done
- read my bible more often
- have one night a week TV\Internet free and spend time playing board games or Wii with DH instead
- keep the kitchen bench clear at all times
- get some exercise

So this week I've decided to work on bed time... I've been getting to bed way too late for me, 11pm ish, and when I have a wee baby who wakes up several times a night -last night I lost count after 8- I really can't handle it!

I figured I needed some steps on 'how' I was gonna achieve this goal... blimmin teacher in me. So here's my plan of action
1. put the nappies on to wash at dinner time instead of later, so I can hang them out earlier
2. ask DH to be stern with me and make me go to bed lol
3. get off the comp by 9.3Opm at the very latest

Anyone else want to join me? What one thing will you change this week?

I've been working ont his too, moving my bum more and eating more vege and saving money on groceries.

You will feel loads better for not going to bed late! DH always stays up later and feels like sh*t, before I got preg I was in bed at 930, asleep at 10 (usually read in between) and I was always refreshed.

I'm with you on the bed earlier! I went to bed at 11 pm last night which was early for me. I've been waiting up for C to have his last feed but that cross fingers is stopping.

I'm going to be in bed by 10.30pm. There are programs I like on at 9.30 so it sucks if I went to bed earlier & we're a one TV family so can't watch in bed.

Aww LF! Love your last 2!

I have another, complete stuff I start! (Like Lily's name mural...)

Oooh yes I need to do this too.

1. Don't leave my entire week's washing until Sunday evening, when I then have to put an entire load through the drier. If I wash it earlier in the day (or SATURDAY, shock horror) I can save power and hang it up.
2. Start moisturising all of me every day - or by the time this pregnancy is over I'm going to resemble a tiger
3. Start planning dinners in advance so that by the time I'm starving I'm not tempted to go get takeaways.
4. Stop sitting on FB and OB as soon as I get home from work every day - do the chores THEN go online.
5. Start getting to bed earlier! I was really good at this for a while then DP came along!

oh my list is probably huge.

drink more water
eat less bread
get out of bed earlier - 6.30/7 i am thinking
do some exercise
make the beds in the morning
make and keep a cleaning schedule
unpack some boxes and bags every day
stop being lazy (haha thats very general and all encompassing)

I think i need to get the morning one sorted first. The kids were nearly late this morning cause i slept in.

I have lately though accomplished keeping my couch clear of washing that needs to be folded. Since we have moved i have kept it away from couch and we have had 2 couches to sit on in the lounge.

oh i forgot to add brush my teeth every night!

People actually cleane/tone/moisturise twice a day??!! Lol Im definatly slack then


Be nicer to myself.
Stop eating so much baking!
Eat more fruit/vege
Praise Isla more and growl less- have started this this week and am seeing improvements!

(Tis as close to a like button we have here!)

Oh and I feel better now that I growl myself for not flossing every night knowing that some don't even brush their teeth. My DH would not let me in the bed if I hadn't he is a dental hygiene freak!
