Fourteen things for 2014

Not simply resolutions, more of a to-do list. Here's my fourteen things for 2014...

1. Sort out the finances.
I'll be honest, they're a bit of a mess at the moment, I'd really like to 'trim the fat' off and cut out any unnecessary expenditure. I guess that means ditching the husband...he costs more than the children!

2. Do more structured activities.
With Moo having longer hours at nursery as of next week, I really want to make productive use of my time on weekdays; to get the most out of the hours I have with and without her. I'll be making a chart. Yes, you read that correctly, a chart. I'm that obsessive over organisation.

3. Make new friends.
I have old friends and mummy friends...I'd like to make more friends with children Bear's age.

4. Return to work.
Unfortunately, it's got to be done. I'd better man-up about it.

5. Blog more original content.
I like my random waffling and while I love discovering new things, what makes my blog unique is me, not the (very lovely) brands I work with.

6. Routine.
When Bear got poorly, our routine went sailing through the window. Time to claw it back!

7. De-clutter life.
Seriously, when did my house become akin to a dump? It's full of stuff, I can barely move. Clear room, clear mind as my husband says (before hypocritically leaving a wet towel in the middle io the dining room)!

8. Lose weight.
Well I had a baby three and a half months ago and have celebrated a lot of things since. I was thinner the day after I had him than I am now. Too much cake, not enough exercise!

9. Put more effort in.
Same as the routine, once Bear got poorly, I stopped putting effort into my every-day appearance. I keep leaving the house without make-up and my hair in a top knot. It's not a great look...

10. Start decorating.
All three bedrooms need it.

11. Work on Moo's phonics, letters and reading.
One morning a week will be dedicated to developing Moo's reading skills.

12. Network more.
I used to do a lot of this for our family-run business and I need to get back in to it if I ever want to own my own home!

13. Take a city break.
One that doesn't feature a concert. Or is in Leeds.

14. Have more fun, worry less.
Because life can come to a very abrupt halt, so why waste time on boring stuff?

Happy new year everyone!
