Things I like to stock up on

It is good to not run out of toilet roll or kitchen towel so we bulk buy and through receiving gift sets and stocking up on hair care products I haven't had to buy any shampoo or conditioner, which are the main things I use, for a long time and it is saved me so much money and the same with food and drink items. 

I like to have plenty of socks and underwear and did do clear out not so long ago and it felt good as my corner unit was a mess, I got it cleared out and went through my underwear and it is good to have clearer spaces but I like to make sure that I have plenty of underwear and also socks go missing. 

The amount of socks go missing is an issue and so I have to fish them out. My husband often is never sure which ones are mine and who is my sons. So I have to go on a hunt, but I like to wear woolly socks for the autumn and winter and spring and summer, ankle socks or no socks at all. 

As I continue this blog after giving my son a bath, found a pair of socks in his pocket organiser and if you have any tips on this please share. You can use the comment box below. 

I am not buying clothes this year as I have enough so I rotate them and can put some of my woolly jumpers away and been sorting through my clothes and I declutter my clothes as I go. 

We like to make sure we have enough hand soap and because I suffer with chapped hands I have to make sure I have plenty of hand cream. Also my face and so it is essentials and what we use all the time. 

Batteries too. My son likes his battery operated lamps and also for our TV remote and other appliances. We make sure we have enough cleaning products and medicines. 

It is good to have a first aid kit and for my son I have put together a toiletry bag for school. This has tissues, wet wipes, sun cream and going to put his nose spray in there too, for his Hayfever. He suffers mainly this time of year. My son did use Piritese but it made him go off his food and made him constipated and so it is cool baths and there are wet wipes for Hayfever too and so its, emergency supplies. 

So go through what you have got and what gets used up most of the time.

Organsing My Weekends

It is almost the weekend and it means that it is time whilst my son is school to clean his rugby boots and get my sons football kit together for tomorrow and then has tennis club in the afternoon tomorrow and I am doing my Radio show this week on Sunday.

So now I plan in advance knowing that I have to wash my sons school clothes ready for Monday and also make sure I have my notes done for my show and I don't have a producer or director and so it is up to me to make sure I am ready and prepared. So I make sure now this is done by Tuesday before and I plan my shows in bulk. I have learned now that "Bulk is the way to go". 

The weekends are a day to be outdoors and go for a coffee and have time to relax and so I use Friday as my day to get the essential tasks done by the end of Friday and today over the weekend going to continue to sort out my home. I need to continue with with organising my sons books, get his canvases up on his wall, sort out the kitchen and begin sorting out my baking cupboard and I also have a vlog going up scheduled for today. This has now been posted check out link: https://youtu.be/NOiWbxclo4w

I have been up super early to read and watch a bit of Youtube before my son gets up ready for school and done a walk on the treadmill. I am not gloating I am actually surprised with myself and got a good stretch of the day to get the other tasks done, before that though going to see if I can change my change into the cash machine in the bank and have a coffee.  

So if there is anything you need to do before the weekend:  

• plan in advance of when you realistically about to get your task done. 
• Do some things in bulk  
• Have a coffee 
• Perhaps I should clean my sons rugby boots and done that at the beginning of the week 
• Have an essential list by Friday and everything is prepared for your kids if they too have clubs to got to
