Day of Rest!

Ok, today is sort of a day of rest but i use it to reinforce my daily routine;

• as soon as you get up, make ur bed. its amazing how much nicer it is to climb back into at night than when its a crumpled up mess. Think how the bed looks - is it time to treat yourself to a new duvet cover/bed throw/cushions to match? It makes all the difference to your sanctuary.
• open ur curtains/blinds and open the window
• squirt some toilet cleaner around the bowl of the pan and leave it whilst you get washed and dressed and teeth-brushed. Go back and give the toilet a scrub with your toilet brush (have you got 1?) I leave bleach diluted with a small amount of water in the bottom of the brush-bowl-stops it smelling. Next, i always have baby wipes in the bathroom so i now use these to wipe round the seat and top of the toilet-pan for the little boy spillages or territory markings - you decide.
• when you get dressed, its all the way to makeup and jewellery -boost ur self-esteem by looking AND feeling good.
• collect your bottled water from the fridge and go, picking up your to-do list and stuff you need to take out with you today

Sunday is the sort of day you clean out the inside of ur car or wash the outside. At the moment, mines looks like a homeless person has taken up residence in it!  It smells! Therefore, here goes! Armed with 2 carrier bags - one for the rubbish and one for the stuff that needs to come into the house, i grab my faithful Henry ( little red hoover with the face on) and head out to the nasty vehicle. I sort through the front first clearing the stuff into each bag and shifting anything that is to stay in the car into the boot. Then poor Henry has to do his thing eating up old chips, dirt and unmentionables lurking under the seats. Febreze the seats, hook a plastic bag around the gear-stick in the hope that you will put the next load of empty Pepsi bottles in and bring out the old faithful baby wipes for the dash and steering-wheel - ta -ra!!!!!! all done.

Night-time routine

• look out and iron clothes for tomoz down to what ear-rings/necklace ur wearing
• make sure u have had ur 2 litres of water by now (if u are anything like me, not that keen on water make it 2 of weak diluting juice)
• anything you need to take with you tomorrow - mail for posting, dry cleaning etc is at the front door

when you cosy up in bed, have a notebook at the ready to write all your to-do's for the next day in like buy in dinner, post a letter, pay a bill etc.

Nite nite x
