I'm afraid to say it has meant a couple of things have gone to waste and I hate that, again, it plays on my mind. So I need to stick to them. The good news is I am not buying extras though. A big help though yes, giving my mind time to get things in order. Though....love ironing??? :D xTracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05866363148112288322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-82520251035692683732016-04-05T13:26:56.252-07:002016-04-05T13:26:56.252-07:00Funnily enough I was thinking the same to myself, ...Funnily enough I was thinking the same to myself, that if I don't do things as they need doing, they never get done. Like you though, things play on my mind even if I am procrastinating and not doing it. I can be my own worst enemy! <br />The kids are really good, my daughter does the horses with me (hay, feed, skipping out) but I need to think of what my son (5) can help with. He needs supervising alot!

I do write lists when I've got a run of horrid shifts. I always make my packed lunch the night before, again it frees time in the morning to do something else, hand washing out etcLiving Alone in Your 60'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848266282669835475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-60898254998531095942016-04-04T07:35:17.907-07:002016-04-04T07:35:17.907-07:00I am an avid list maker.

I plan my meals for the week always for the kids, sometimes we have something different especially if I'm trying to lose a few lbs! From that I do my shopping list along with checking my list of freezer contents. I used to have a cleaning list but have ditched that and just clean when I know it needs doing then I don't feel a total slave. I check the linen basket every day but don't necessarily wash each day but I love ironing so that is never a problem. I am lucky, I see it as that as I love being a homemaker, not to go out to work so I always make sure I justify everything I do around the house so I have some me time when the list is all ticked off. Any help?xLouise Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074355125344865358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-63803355280524195952016-04-04T07:30:37.144-07:002016-04-04T07:30:37.144-07:00I find if I do when I think about it it works for ...I find if I do when I think about it it works for me, apart from the animals I dont have a routine as such, but I do find I sometimes put something off because I dont enjoy doing it then it plays on my mind so I really try to get things done as they need doing, there is only me here most of the time, couldnt the kids help with some chores, my daughter has just got hers involved now she is working full time, she puts little envelopes of money on a chore board and who ever does the chore has that payment they dont get pocket money they have to earn spending money by helping outDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
