get the mundane stuff done so I can focus on what's important (read all 3 entries…)
Re-opening this goal... 5 months ago

...cos there are a few annoying things building up that around the house – need to put in some concerted effort to get them out of the way so things will run more smoothly.

Currently on the list:

- fix the electricity consumer unit
- fix the front door lock
- sign up to a new dentist (again!)

Can’t think of anything else atm but no doubt will think of more :-/

sell or give away my excess belongings (read all 3 entries…)
Emmaus & other progress 6 months ago

I’m in a bigger place than previously, but I’m still committed to this goal – I’d rather have the stuff I use immediately to hand, rather than hidden under piles of excess belongings, if I can.

There have been a lot of clothes swaps happening recently, which are good for getting rid of clothes, but far too easy to replace them with swapped clothes that will not be worn. Must remember to exercise caution with these!

Getting rid of electrical items is always a bit of a mare, so I am very fortunate to have an Emmaus store (http://www.emmaus.org.uk/) just down the road from me. I have been able to pop in and give them 2 TVs and a video player, and they should also be able to take my printer which I don’t use.

Then I need to find some time to put together a box or two of bits and pieces for the regular charity shop. Must try to be ruthless this time!

reduce my environmental footprint (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 6 months ago

I’ve done a lot of recycling things (cardboard, TVs, beer cans – can’t find where to recycle DVDs though) recently, but there are always environmental areas to improve. Our new property (rented) is very badly insulated and so even when wearing plenty of jumpers we have to keep the heating on a lot during the winter. I need to spend some time putting up draught excluders etc.

On a more positive note, I’ve just signed up to Friends of the Earth’s eco tip of the day, so hopefully this will provide inspiration for this goal.
