Day 59 - Review
Today I:
- failed miserably at my Grooming Goal and bit my nails! but did redress my (very infected) toe
- spent my Half-hour Hope on my Beautifying goal and redressed my small display unit with scrapbook paper backgrounds, really makes our little treasures *pop*
- followed my non-existent Cleaning Schedule
- Prayed about church attendance etc. and Sunny almost made it through (coming out just before the last prayer/hymn) despite a very unsettled night and not so good mood this morning. I spent the first half of creche catching up with R and the second half cuddling a distraught, sleepy and teething toddler J - oh the gorgeousness of cuddles when their whole bodies just sink into you
- Enjoyed time in the afternoon with my beloved Hubby and in the evening as we watched Downton Abbey.
- Also had a nice evening with the parentals for dinner, with talk of their pre-Christmas travels and returned home to enjoy a read aloud of the first chapter of our new "family book" - Sunny is too young to appreciate this but happily played while Hubs and I savoured the story
- Planned out my posts for the week ahead or at least I will after I hit publish on this :)
- managed two out of seven of my Consistency Challenges - oops
- managed most of my Daily Do List though I didn't do Moodscope (again) or have much of a quiet time and whilst I laid out Sunny's clothes, I didn't kay out my own (though I'll mostly be wearing today's outfit recycled)
- got the sad news that my Granda broke his hip and is hospitalised indefinitely, including needing to have an operation to set things aright. To be honest he will more than likely not be able to return to living on his own and whilst it will break his heart (he never wanted to leave the home he shared with his bride - Nanny) the social aspect of elderly care would do him the world of good. I've sorely neglected him of late but at least the hospital stay garnered him visits from my cousins etc. I'll not get down to visit before Sunny's op on Wednesday and for who knows how long afterwards. It's just hit me as I type this - my baby's op is in three days - I've really been blocking it from my mind and have peace about it but phew it still scares me.

Day 57 - Review
Today I:
- used my Half-hour Hope to FINALLY CANCEL MY LIST SUB - HOORAY!!! but did nothing else
- Beautified my home by tidying away the freshly laundered (but don't currently fit me) spring/summer clothing that needed a quick wash after (far too many) years in clothing storage
- Cleaned the baby, after meals - does that count, I don't care if it doesn't, to me it counts - ha!
- Hubs changed the bed
- tried to organise a visit to Gerta and co. but they're down with a bug
- wasn't consistent on any of my Consistency Challenges but did get outside (albeit breifly) with Sunny
- didn't do all of my Daily Do List:
--- I put out Sunny's clothes but not mine for tomorrow, though I'll probably just recycle today's outfit more or less
--- I didn't do Moodscope, feeling too down and didn't want it confirmed
--- Didn't quick-clean either bathroom or the kitchen/sink
--- failed to have a quiet time but did complete the rest

Day 45 - Review
Today I:
- Hope I treated Hubby like a King, I did let him lie in and made him coffee and an omelette
- Continued reading through "No-brainer Wardrobe" e-book as a supplement to and continuation of my FtP challenge
- Didn't focus on my to-do lists at all as we enjoyed the Hubby's birthday, our visitors etc.
- Beautified myself by showering - that counts, doesn't it?
- Followed my Cleaning Schedule for Sunday and rested
- ate Smaller Portions
- Tidied as I went but certainly didn't set aside a specific time
- worked through my Frumps to Pumps tasks (the reading and 'Pinning' before I even went to bed this morning)
- Prayed about and attended church
- Enjoyed a visit from my SIL, BIL, niece Lola and in-laws and some birthday cake
- Enjoyed time and dinner with my parents, Sis#1 and her four boys
- Planned out this coming week's blog posts
- Prepared for our trip to Ikea tomorrow morning (with Sis#1 and my Mama)
- failed to be terribly consistent on my Consistency Day and didn't fulfil my Hydration goal, planned to break my Sugar Fast with chocolate birthday cake and didn't walk so only two out of five for my Consistency Challenges
- didn't complete my Daily Do List, failing to: complete moodscope, do prayer sticks or Scripture memory work

Day 44 - Review
Today I:
- Laughed heartily, okay hysterically, at my overly optimistic plans, when did I think I turned into my mother? As if I'd ever have managed everything I listed, in three days, let alone one! So I prioritised, better than usual since I thought we'd have visitors this evening as well as tomorrow and I wanted the place to be sitting nicely for Hubby coming home.
- Beautified, by tidying primarily
- failed to follow my Cleaning Schedule for Saturday as tidying took priority
- ate Smaller Portions
- Tidied in the nursery and master bedroom and alas had to put some things back under the bed, there are a lot of clothes! Also put away all the decoration boxes.
- worked through my Frumps to Pumps tasks, though I forgot to sort through the sewing basket and began my reading of "No-brainer Wardrobe" e-book
- Made a quick trip to the shop to grab a birthday cake and got the takeaway on the way home
- Packed baby bag for church
- did my Consistency Challenges including a walk, if walking round tesco counts?
- did my Daily Do List though quiet time was done last thing at night (napping took priority today after another night of insomnia)

Day 44 - No-brainer Wardrobe (Take 1) - Consistency Day (2nd) - Be (6) - CS (11) - SP (16) - TT (19) - FtP (22)
Today's plan:
- begin reading through "No-brainer Wardrobe" e-book as a supplement to and continuation of my FtP challenge (one will meld into the other, before continuing on into other books etc.)
- a second (and tomorrow will be a third) Consistency Day as I seek to complete all challenges and tasks without the burden of any new ones. I thought consistency would be a good idea for this, my Hubby's birthday, weekend and as there are now so many little bits on which I'm falling behind and need to get back into the habit of finishing (especially Hydration and FtP).
- Beautifying (being brave and maybe putting up the final wall decals/stickers in the nursery?)
- Cleaning Schedule - Saturdays
--- brush (and vacuum) lounge
--- spot check lounge floor
--- clean (clear and damp mop) floors in the bedroom and nursery
- Smaller Portions
- Tidying Time (nursery and master bedroom - rehoming the things that were formerly underbeds especially the clothes and putting decoration boxes back into the wardrobes)
- Frumps to Pumps
--- begin the day with God
--- get dressed by 9am
--- cleanse and tone before applying moisturiser
--- wear earrings
--- re-read "No-brainer Wardrobe" e-book from introduction up to page 16 (first action point)
--- think about how I feel when I get dressed - how long does it take me to choose an outfit? Do I buy a lot of clothes but always feel like I've nothing to wear?
--- do a quick sort through the sewing basket and set aside anything that needs professionally tailored/mended
--- ring Sis#1 and try to arrange a charity-shop shopping trip and discuss whether or not she actualy wants to continue to participate in/be reminded of the challenges
--- quick purge through 'underbed' clothes as I fold them and store them away
--- apply nightcream before bed
- Quick tesco shopping trip for some beauty essentials (moisturiser, disposable razors etc. as well as the more urgent matter of a chocolate birthday cake for the beloved Husband), perhaps collecting takeaway for Sunny and myself on the way home
- More than likely enjoy a visit from my MIL and FIL in the evening so be prepared for bedtime and tomorrow before dinner in anticipation, also prepare for a shower in the morning
- Pack baby bag for church (bibs, snack, water cup and bottle, quiet toys and books)
- Consistency Challenges
--- Bleach toilets regularly (M/W/Sa)
--- Hydration (two-and-a-half litres)
--- Say Grace before dinner
--- Sugar Fast (no chocolate)
--- Walk with Sunny
--- Worship Song Time
- Daily Do List
--- Bedtime prep.
--- Catechism practice (20-21)
--- Commit the day to God in prayer
--- Food prep (little to none)
--- Laundry (two loads and fold/put away all dry laundry)
--- Lay out tomorrow's clothes
--- Load/unload dishwasher
--- Moodscope
--- Prayer Sticks

- begin reading through "No-brainer Wardrobe" e-book as a supplement to and continuation of my FtP challenge (one will meld into the other, before continuing on into other books etc.)
- a second (and tomorrow will be a third) Consistency Day as I seek to complete all challenges and tasks without the burden of any new ones. I thought consistency would be a good idea for this, my Hubby's birthday, weekend and as there are now so many little bits on which I'm falling behind and need to get back into the habit of finishing (especially Hydration and FtP).
- Beautifying (being brave and maybe putting up the final wall decals/stickers in the nursery?)
- Cleaning Schedule - Saturdays
--- brush (and vacuum) lounge
--- spot check lounge floor
--- clean (clear and damp mop) floors in the bedroom and nursery

--- wear earrings
--- re-read "No-brainer Wardrobe" e-book from introduction up to page 16 (first action point)
--- think about how I feel when I get dressed - how long does it take me to choose an outfit? Do I buy a lot of clothes but always feel like I've nothing to wear?
--- do a quick sort through the sewing basket and set aside anything that needs professionally tailored/mended
--- ring Sis#1 and try to arrange a charity-shop shopping trip and discuss whether or not she actualy wants to continue to participate in/be reminded of the challenges
--- quick purge through 'underbed' clothes as I fold them and store them away
--- apply nightcream before bed
- Quick tesco shopping trip for some beauty essentials (moisturiser, disposable razors etc. as well as the more urgent matter of a chocolate birthday cake for the beloved Husband), perhaps collecting takeaway for Sunny and myself on the way home
- More than likely enjoy a visit from my MIL and FIL in the evening so be prepared for bedtime and tomorrow before dinner in anticipation, also prepare for a shower in the morning
- Pack baby bag for church (bibs, snack, water cup and bottle, quiet toys and books)

Day 22 - Review
Today I:
- Prayed over and planned out my new challenge beginning tomorrow
- Tidied in the nursery
- Hydrated a lot (over 3L and counting)
- Sugar Fasted
- Had my Quiet Time in the evening rather than at naptime
- Consistency Challenges done
- Daily Do List done
- Attended the Tots' group in the morning, enjoyed jiggling a four-month-old to sleep, turned down homemade shortbread and got to chat with some of the mums
- Got Sunny his new shoes, a very painless outing and got in a (very short) walk too
- Was all set-up and ready for tutoring but student never showed and still have no idea why, was pretty annoyed but c'est la vie, Hubs informed me later that the student's grandfather may be very ill which could be an explanation as they're a very close (and forgetful) family. *Update* Just got an apology text to say they are gathered around the grandfather who hasn't long to live, so very understandable absence.
- Edited my sidebar and wrote up templated posts for the new challenge
- Rang optician with Sunny's healthcare number
- Have yet to cancel list subscription
- Salt soaked toe and applied betadine
- Decided to hold off on texting re LLL membership
- Forgot I wouldn't have a car this afternoon so my nephew will have to wait until tomorrow for his card.
Day 22 - Consistency Day - TT (6) - Hy (11) - SF (16) - QT (21)
Today will mark my first "Consistency Day," not a day off so much as a day on, redoubling my efforts to be consistent in completing my challenges and tasks. Incorporating my new challenges (especially Tidying Time), the Consistency Challenges (a list which will be edited tomorrow to include Quiet Time and which will have some items shifted across to the Daily Do List) and the Daily Do List, as well as all the little errands (and tutoring) will be my focus today without adding anything new.
- Tidying Time (especially focusing on the nursery and using the timer on my phone)
- Hydration (measured and recorded through the waterlogged app)
- Sugar Fast (removing the sweet treats of jam, plain biscuits and flapjacks that have snuck in)
- Quiet Time (during Sunny's nap)
- Consistency Challenges (Bleach Toilets Regularly, Catechism Practice, Moodscope, Prayer Sticks, Saying Grace before dinner, Scripture Memory Work, Swagbucks, Walk with Sunny-to get his new shoes, Worship Song Time)
- Daily Do List (commit the day to God in prayer, lay out clothes for tomorrow, tutoring prep/set-up/clear-up, what's for dinner?, food prep and clear-up, dishwasher, laundry folding and putting away, wipe down kitchen/sink, quick-clean bathrooms, strip bed and leave out new bedding for Hubby, open/close blinds, bedtime prep, write the day's review post, write tomorrow's list post, note down income/expense immediately)
- Tots' group with both Hubby and son
- Get Sunny his new shoes, time/mood-permitting
- Tutoring O while Sunny has fun with the grandparents
- Editing sidebar content and praying over and choosing a new challenge to add in tomorrow
- Ring optician with Sunny's healthcare number
- Cancel list subscription
- Salt soak toe and redress with betadine
- Text Vicky re LLL membership
- Drop off birthday card to my nephew
