April challenges

This is what I managed to achieve this month:

• Look through the book on how to deal with children's behaviour.
• I have done this. I think it is a book that I will need to keep reading through 

• Keep the flat tidy.
• I have managed to maintain the flat pretty well. Though it is starting to creep up on me it will not take long to sort out again. I will do that this weekend.

• Start sorting through the stuff in the shed.
• I have not done this.

• Sort through my photography magazines.
• I have put the magazines into a pile but I have not sorted through that pile.

• Work on controlling my temper and becoming more chilled out.
•  I have actually done really well. I had a few moments but I was able to calm down quickly. The wost one I actually had tonight after I lost my temper with my eldest for still begin away at nearly ten. I did however manage to calm myself down and talk to him about the fact he needs to go to sleep.

I think I have done pretty well this month. I have been very busy and I have been doing a lot that has taken up time.

Read through book

I have decided that I do not need to make any notes from the book as it is well set out so it is easy to find out what I need to look at easily.

I am glad that I have looked through it and I do think that there is things in there that can help. It will be good to show my partner as well as I think that he can learn a lot from it.

I think I have managed to find a way of keeping calmer. It is hard work and there are times when it does not work. Though at the times when it does not work then at least I am able to calm down quicker. I just have to keep working and working hard to make the change happen.

Not much done during the holidays

I have not been able to get much done as the younglings have been off school and nursery for their Easter holidays.


I have been doing my best to maintain the home after I gutted it but it has been very challenging. The living room looks fine and so does the hall. The bathroom is pretty good but the bedroom and kitchen need some work done. the kitchen seems to be the place that is the most challenging to maintain and the bedroom has got cluttered with clothes. They both will have to be sorted out tomorrow. My partner will be hopefully taking the younglings to his mums house so that will give me the peace and time to do this.

I have found the book that I need to look through as well so I just need to make the time to actually sit down and read through it and take some notes of anything that I find that could be helpful.

I think I will n to wait until next week before I start looking through the photography magazines. The one thing I can do between now and then is just make sure that they are all in the same place.
