Chook n Boo Mum Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I feel all inspired....so bought a book on decluttering .I may just make a start this evening once I've put all the clean chook pots back in the run & got DD off to bed in about 1/2 an hour........ Sha x Oh, do come & join us in the Green section, "getting rid of 100 items". I need some inspiration over there! But have you noticed, I have my priorities right....chooks first, us later...is this why I am in such a pickle (polite way of saying something else ) I'll get some of my 100 items together first shall I..oh heck, I'll be there in a minute!!!!

Alis girls Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The thing is by buying a book you have to find a place to put it therefore making clutter? I like a good de clutter usually hideous plastic things from well known burger places long forgotten and looking 1/2 dead - bit like me really.

Cinnamon Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Have any of you seen THIS I came across it online today & thought of you disorganised lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 What did you order then? I do like a routine - it's never such a big deal if the boys know that each week certain chores get done certain days and I hate clutter - but the less said about their rooms the better. I was a messy child, but my mum left me to it in my own room, but I grew out of it and into tidyness, am hoping same will happen to my two, but seems to be taking a while...

Cinnamon Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I managed to restrain myself, as I am a big fan of the M&S Family Planners, & have my 2010 one already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I am a very chaotic person by nature but having 3 children at 3 different schools has made me a lot more organised. I have a kitchen pin board, a draw in the kitchen for pending things like statements, bills etc which gets a thorough sort at the beginning of every month, and a diary into which everything from term dates to appointments, sowing and harvesting dates for veggies and reminders gets written, without which I would be lost.

Cinnamon Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 My eldest girl is very organised too (unlike Hubby & youngest girl!), & she really needs a decent student planner for her room, but I can't find anything suitable anywhere. Anyone got any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have a family planner on my fridge with 6 columns - one for each of us and a family column. I write every appointment, sleepover, etc down on that and if its not there then I will guaranteed to have forgotten it. Just need hubby to look at it every now and then. He has his own works diary and about once a month (or so) we have a quick diary callibration where by I say XX has a hospital appointment on such and such date and YY is at her friends and can you pick up ZZ from somewhere on this date etc etc I need to get next years one soon, so I shall have a look in M&S (thanks Cinnamon) I also need to get my diary for my handbag. I get the student ones that go from Sept to Sept and usually they are in really bright plastic but I found a rather nice silver coloured one in WHSmiths last year so I am hoping they still do it.
