Day 46 - Review

Today I:

- Forgot I had introduced the new challenge of Half-hour Hope and hadn't prepared for it, or remembered until I sat down to begin this review at which point I dragged my sorry bottom back off the sofa and got to getting...

- so having gone through the gift cupboard I'll choose between two baby gifts for Tilly in the morning, her card is written and I've set out the upcoming birthday gifts and had a little look at what I have and need to craft/get

- wasn't home long enough to go near my Cleaning Schedule for Monday, so I'll brush out and clean the en-suite and brush out the bedroom and nursery tomorrow

- ate Smaller Portions but alas I fear, far too many of them!

- had a Tidying Time of putting away my purchases and clearing away their packaging

- worked through most of my Frumps to Pumps tasks and enjoyed a very productive early morning including getting the toilets bleached, laundry sorted and food prep done before arriving at my sister's (in good time amazingly) for our shopping trip. I didn't feel I could really be truly present in my home since I didn't really feel I was at home today, but I did set to the work I did today and will seek to be fully present here tomorrow, you know, after our visit out ;) I also haven't approached the sewing basket today, except to add to it, as my eyes are too tired for sewing this evening

- Thoroughly enjoyed an Ikea shopping trip with Mum and Sis#1 and despite no receipt I was able to return all the unopened and unwanted goods from my last trip and put them towards today's items, so this visit only cost just over a fiver - yay! Got two gorgeous stag's head print cushions for our lounge and am counting them as my Beautifying for the day too

- Texted baby Tilly's Mama and arranged a visit for tomorrow morning (alas removing Hubby and Sunny's chance of a morning cycle and mine of a lovely long lie-in BUT we left it open for them to choose and Tilly's only sister Isa is the same age as Sunny so hopefully they'll enjoy a nice wee playdate while we Mamas and a Papa chat and coo over the new babe)

- Tutored E

- forgot to say Grace AGAIN but did manage the rest of my Consistency Challenges, since I'm totally counting walking round Ikea as a 'walk' and even resisted delicious M&M peanut-ty sweeties (hard) and just about managed Hydration goal

- did my Daily Do List except for Half-hour Hope prep, still haven't worked through all the beauty references for my Quiet Time so I'll continue with them in a couple of days
