Slight problem Jan, I would like to sign up to the money programme, but when it says sign in below, there is nowhere to sign in.

My biggest problem at the moment is paying off my credit cards.

Hi Jan, how does this group work? LL
Take back control of your own money.
I've been 'making change' by using this system - getting things paid off and even starting to save. It's free. Everything you need is inside.
Get it and join us in discussing your questions and challenges he
Fantastic. I want to get Christmas sorted out too this year - so look forward to it.
Tomorrow I am getting the tree down.

I took up Jan's suggestsions and did a bit of decluttering in the bathroom. I like to do this and find some treats in there so I build up from the bathroom day to the pamper day.

Hi Jan. Thanks for your encouragement!!
The kitchen is a lot better and I am now trying to take junk out every day if I can. I am trying to think of the rooms and to decide what I want in them and then to get everything else out.
I have a stock ...
I like the 'out' concept. Sometimes I'm thinking that I would be most happy with one piece of furniture per room. And mabye a rug :0)) Seriously, the rooms that catch my eye on tv etc are always the ones that are sparce - so much easier to keep cl...
I am so amazed Louis, you are amazing! Christmas/New Year holidays are traditionally the time that I lock myself in my office and sort/purge/catch up on paperwork but if I can I'd like to get an earlier start this year (although anything would be ...
Hi Louise, I just started a fitness challenge too! I do Fit Yummy Mummy. It's online and at home but there is a huge forum where we keep our journals and get lots of info/interaction.
You are really taking great strides and I fully agree that the...
This has been a very busy week, so I have not had a lot of time to do this. I have kept up the 5 minute tasks, and now I am starting the 20 minute tasks for the spring cleaning challenge. I am also doing a diet challenge - somewhere else - and won...

Bathroom cupboard declutter
I took up Jan's suggestsions and did a bit of decluttering in the bathroom. I like to do this and find some treats in there so I build up from the bathroom day to the pamper day.
I have done the bathroom declutter in a couple of sessions. the first thing I found was some hair colouring that I had got on a half price or less sale. They have been sitting there for about 3 years. So I did a quick colour session on my hair - which was really good and it took out the odd wisps of grey and gave my ha… Continue

Bedroom Clutter
I started on the bedroom clutter but realized I am just really shifting the stuff around the room. So I have decided to completely re-organise it. At the moment a huge amount of stuff is being stored in the bedroom. This happened as a result of having to open up the house so I could have lodgers here and the downstairs room where I am sleeping at the moment still has the bookshelves and things in it that it had when it was an ordinary downstairs room.
On top of these are boxes of papers sheet m… Continue

Paper clutter is better
I am very encouraged by the big improvement in the paper clutter.
I think tomorrow I need to empty that area and work out what files are current.
Maybe just move the remaining partially sorted stuff to the other side of the room, just to see how I want things to be here.
They work out what files I need in order to do all my current work.
That should be good.
Then work out how to get rid of the remaining piles of stuff that have been moved.
There is a filing backlog - and I need to make sur… Continue

Declutter report
I am doing some decluttering in my study. I am not sure this is on the list anywhere - but this is very overdue. I am doing a bit of general declutter everywhere. What I am doing is the give away, put away throw away that is in several books. I am concentrating on things that can actually go out of the front door tomorrow - I might even put them in the car meanwhile - ready to go in the morning.
First of all there are 2 teddies that can go for raffle prizes. I am going to take them up to the of… Continue

- this is so weird I just have to share. After I finished with the comment below I opened my twitter window because I had a new follower - she had only one tweet and this was it -
The effort is within us all, waiting for us to put it to work on our area of focus.
I guess that means we're on the right track!

- I like to take a nap in the afternoon too. I find that I can stay up longer, get up earlier and have less 'drag time' through the day if I take about 20 minutes. Usually I can't keep my eyes open so I'm out like a light right away and then wake up without an alarm 20 minutes give or take later. I have a tea usually, maybe a snack and am rarin to go.
I think that you really have a good knack for connecting and seeing beneath the surface to the root of things because of your comment about computer time - I really think that computers are behind so much of the overwhelm these days because they suck so much of out time (how ever much we love them and can't imagine being without them :0) I remember before I got mine that I was wondering how I was going to come up with the extra hour a day, ha!
And the importance of connection with nature, I also think this is a big thing as well. I live in the country and we have lots of windows. I haven't put up hardly any curtains because I don't want to block the view, although I do want to put up some especially since we are building the house (taking a little tooooo long) so we have no trim - they really irritate me at the same time.
I'm hoping we will get that done this winter - crossing fingers.
I'm often amazed at how much better even a little bit of cleaning/decluttering can make me feel, I'm glad that you are able to have that too with your continued focus and effort.
Good show!!

- that's great Louise! I like to start with the bedroom too, that gives me a place to renew myself so that I want to do more other places. I bet that you can feel a big difference already.

Paying off credit cards is one of the main objectives of 'Making Change', using a two pronged approach - reducing spending and then putting everything that you can to pay off the cards and not using them again to add to the balance. Nothing worse ...
