I’m now three months into a course with the Open University. I’m studying AA100 The Arts Past and Present, the first module towards an honours degree in English Language and Literature. I’m officially an undergraduate student, and I LOVE it. :D

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: First, we tidied our bedroom. We moved everything from the spare room into the bedroom. This gave us both a sense of achievement at having made a tangible start, and motivation to get on with it, so that we could comfortably use the bedroom again.We sorted things into three piles: keeping, throwing-away, and Freecycling/taking to the charity shop. We put the throwing-away stuff straight into bin bags and took it all downstairs to where we… Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I took an A4 ring binder and put dividers and clear plastic sleeve pages into it. I wrote out the recipes I already knew we liked, printed them and put them in the sleeves. Whenever I try a new recipe, I print it out and put it in the folder. If we like it, it stays. :o)I also cut/tore out recipes from magazines, and found an excellent cups-lbs-grams conversion table in an issue of Waitrose Food Illustrated which I glued to the inside cov… Read how I did it…

...as I seem to be in the habit of doing this weekly. It’s benefited us in so many ways. We’re saving money because we’re only buying the things we need. It’s saving me time because I’m not worrying about what we’re going to eat tonight. It’s making us healthier because we’re not relying on microwave meals and takeaway so frequently. And it’s saving me energy (I’m disabled) because I have time to prepare for our dinner times. :D
My 101 in 1001 ended two days ago.
As per my 101st goal, I have created a new 101 in 1001.
I’ve included more than half of the unfinished goals from my first attempt, and the rest are new. Hopefully I’ll get a lot more of them done this time! :o)
