As usual this week has been many things, mainly lovely, ever so slightly bonkers but there has been a lot of time spent being:
Blog Planning
I started off the week trying to create a weekly blog plan – listing all the linkys I like to link to and planning what post I want to link up with them. I feel like I’m a bit ad hoc and chasing my tail sometimes with my blog and I’m a planner by nature so I don’t like it much! π It helps me work out roughly what I want to write and when I want to write it which helps.
We’ve also been looking at theme design, I’ve had some ideas in my head ever since I started this blog and this theme (and the one before it) were only meant to be temporary. I’ve finally got those ideas on paper and made a start down the road of theme design – so watch this space!
Accounts
It’s time to do hubby’s business accounts so this week I have been buried in bank statements and the accounts software. It’s pretty simple data entry for the most part but time consuming so I do a little every month and then reconcile every quarter. Not huge amounts of fun but I like to do it so hubby doesn’t have to.
Surprise Treats
I’ve also been having another look at our accounts and at first I couldn’t work out why we had a bit of spare money in the account (we have 2 accounts, one for all the bills to go out of, and one for the monthly spending so we are always know where we are) then I remembered we are in that lovely time of year where we get a break from paying council tax! Wahoo!
I went out for dinner with some friends last night and fancied a new top (I hardly ever treat myself to new clothes) so because we had some spare money I bought one π I also bought monkey some new play-doh tools and more paints as there is 20% off craft supplies at ELC at the mo.
So a bit of organisation pays off sometimes. I wish I could get more organised with the housework though haha! π
I feel like I’m always chasing my tail with blogging as well! #WotW
glad it’s not just me!! π xx
I love being organised. Sounds like a very good week, especially a nice new top, too. Look forward to seeing your blog redesign, too – I’m aiming for one in 2-3 weeks time, too π Thanks for joining in with #WotW x
Me too, hate being disorganisedΒ¬ Thank you, we will see how it goes – ooh exciting, will look forward to seeing yours too! π xx
I’m currently trying to organise my life… pinterest makes it look so easy. I’m in love with http://www.abowlfulloflemons.net , She is so organised!! π

Oh my goodness, thanks for the tip but I find that website a bit terrifying… are people really THAT organised? hahaha I’m not sure I’ll get past organised chaos π xx
Looking forward to seeing some of your new design ideas on this site, although, I really like what I see now. Visiting via #SITSSharefest
Thank you! Hopefully you’ll like the new site design too π xx
Look forward to seeing your new design. As for housework… Pah!
ha ha oh I love the word Pah! Made me laugh, a lot! thank you π xx
Well I wish I could be more organised! I go through phases of it but it never seems to last! #WotW
oh I know the feeling! Even after feeling all organised last week, today I have been ranting and raving about never finding what I am looking for, so I think I have some way to go yet π xx
