Organizing- Garden Update

Hi guys :)

I am finally attempting to get myself organized.
It was only when i realized i had forgotten to ring the plumber (yet again!) to reattach a radiator to the wall that i finally decided to take action. I need a system.
Post it notes!

I'll admit it, my memory is terrible, so, for now, i have devised a post it solution until i can get myself a proper planner. There are so many free printable ones online, but, as usual, the printer has ran out of ink and right now we can't afford to replace them. Also, this way is more eco friendly.

I am also drawing myself a calendar, we have one in the living room, but this one is going to be for the craft room/studio thingy, i am only drawing from July to December , then i can draw a full one next year.


What else? Oh yes, i decided it would be a fun idea to clean out and rearrange the pantry.
I went to pull forward the bookcase, to clean behind it, and i had forgot that the shelves weren't fixed, so they fell out and straight onto my foot! Ouch!
My foot is now a lovely shade of purple.



Garden:
The potatoes are doing great! In hindsight though i wish i had lined the basket before planting. 
The herbs aren't doing so well :( I forgot to  put down slug deterrents and they have  scoffed the basil and parsley :( Who knew they would like such strong herbs! Little sods!
Amazingly though, they haven't touched the courgettes! 
I transplanted them and they are growing like weeds 
Remember these? All sown with  care.
Well, they were growing nicely until i forgot to water them in last week's heat and they are no more. 
I'm too ashamed to show you a photo!


Remember the paddling pool? I enlisted the help of The Bearded wonder and our uncle John and it was huge! For some reason it was weighted down with rocks, so i imagine they wanted  to build a pond at some point.


My artistic mojo is slowly coming back to me so i went on a walk to get some inspiration, and saw these divine creatures, as soon as they noticed me they started running and playing :)


What are your plans for the week? Do you have any organizing tips?

    I just write a list and add to it as I remember jobs that need doing then in the evening while having a cuppa I can cross off any jobs that have been done its a never ending list and is in a hardback A4 note book I dont mind that its never ending as I feel a sense of achievement just seeing things crossed off even if the job is half done I just cross it off and then re-list it. I dont set targets or goals as not reaching them can lead to stress pressure and disappointment I am all for an easy stress free life since moving, I do use a calender in the kitchen to write date related things on such as visitors or animal worming etc :-)

      ha that sounds good to me dawn :D That's the only disadvantage to having them on virtual notes, i can't cross them off lol I've managed to find a binder, so everything is going to go into that, i just need to figure out which order to put them in etc, but i think i'll treat myself to pretty stickers to jazz it up as it is looking boring :) xx

Our Speaker Today

Hi guys :)  I am part of a community growers group, and over the next year or so we are going try and make our village look nicer and have an edible garden and flower beds.  Co Durham council are going to stop planting flowers in the flower beds on our main street, due to budget cuts, so we got the idea of putting things in the beds ourselves, including lots of herbs, and fruit bushes along the green. We want to really bring the community together and get them involved in growing things and generally making the village look nicer.  Yesterday, me and a two other members (and friends of course!) went on a wee jolly to Durham, for the Food Durham Annual Gathering. It is a marvellous initiative called The County Durham Food partnership.More info  here "Launched in May last year, the purpose is to work together for a more equitable,sustainable, fairer food system for County Durham providing access to food that is healthy for people and the planet."

Drama!

Hi guys, sorry i haven't been around much this week, i've been a very bad blogging neighbour, but i will try and get around everyone's blogs this evening (This is my new mantra) What a bloody week! First, i was awoken by the Bearded Wonder in the early hours on Sunday morning having chest pains and violently shivering, my poor hubby has a heart murmur, so this was doubly worrying, though i distinctly remember saying "what do you expect me to do about it?" thinking he was just cold (i'm not a great thinker when i've just woken up lol) then grumpily told him to go make me a cup of tea to get his circulation going , then i sort of got my act together, 999 was called and i was instructed to give him 4 aspirin and wait for the ambulance to turn up. They came and checked him over and hooked him up to the heart monitor thingy whilst i rushed about like a headless chicken packing a bag, fully expecting to go to hospital, only to be told...

Bullet Journalling, Seed Preparing And Yarning Along

Hi guys :) The other day, while scrolling through Pinterest, i came across the idea of a  Bullet Journal   The basic idea is to condense everything into one handy little book, if you click the link it will explain it much more succinctly than me. There's a video too :) This is a great journal for me as i can personalize how i like, everything is in one place and this year i may actually manage to be organized! I created my own little planner from an old hard back book that was falling apart I covered it in pretty wallpaper samples and added a pocket to slide in the blank notebook i got for Christmas And added a little cartoon me :) I am following the idea of the bullet journal for the most part, but the beauty of it is you can personalize it exactly to your needs I created a layout that suited me, with morning, afternoon and evening sections and my own little colour code system at the bottom, though this may change depending on if i f...
