Day 48 - Review

Today I:

- fulfilled my Half-hour Hope by sewing three items for the Hubs after the general tidy as I go approach

- Beautified myself by trying to smile more

- cleaned my way through some of my Cleaning Schedule for Wednesdays,
--- brushed nursery
--- brush en-suite
--- cleaned guest bathroom/en-suite

- ate Smaller Portions

- worked through my Frumps to Pumps tasks and earned my treat of Mayim Bialik's book (I'll order it tomorrow - yay, and it'll be paid for with Swagbucks - double yay). I moved one jumper from regular wardrobe to maternity as it's a little big and cut in such a way as to emphasise your tummy but didn't go through any more of my wardrobe as I feel I've purged it pretty well over the last few weeks. I think decluttering it again in another few weeks/months would be more productive.
- I've decided tonight that I'll use the "turning hangers around" trick; you turn your hangers around so the hook part is facing away from you and then when you've worn the item you hang it regularly. After a while you can see exactly what you are and aren't wearing of your clothes to aid decluttering. I've added this to tomorrow's tasks
- I also chose not to plan a week's worth of outfits as I'm in a good habit of planning the next day or two's outfits and that's far enough in advance for me, unless for a special occasion (wedding, party, fancy dinner)
- As for looking at how outfits would come together from the rest of my clothing, this is what I have been unconsciously working on for the past few weeks during the purging and I'll be working more concretely on this as I create a "look book" in the coming weeks
--- text Sis#1 the challenge details

- packed away the last of the decorations and rehomed the sewing and knitting baskets

- visited Sis#1 and sorted out the cables for her TV

- edited Scripture Memory Work on the sidebar

- Tutored Cl

- resisted the temptation of chocolate at my sister's, but chose (and was given permission by my Hubby too) to have five-and-a-half chocolates from Hubs' chocolate box - wish I hadn't as they weren't as nice as say Galaxy chocolate, couldn't have a post-nap walk as it poured with rain and I forgot to say Grace AGAIN. I'm glad I did manage two of my Consistency Challenges

- did my Daily Do List
