Dried the washing on the line.
Kept the heater off - I'm thinking we may be able to turn the pilot on the central heating off for the summer a little early this year.
Caught the water from showers and the kitchen and used it to water pot plants, in the washing machine and to mop floors.
Tidied the linen cupboard and put aside a bag to go to the op shop.
Spent an hour tidying our wardrobe and put aside a bag to go to the op shop. Rearranged some storage so it's easier to access.
Worked on Christmas cards (some for the card swap, some for Mum and some to send to my card list).
Worked in the garden for a few hours this week. It's very therapeutic weeding and watering and mulching.
Started using my 2016 diary! Already! Wow but time just flies by in this very hectic world we live in. I was dumbfounded when I realised I needed a new diary now. Thankfully I was able to find a school diary for $1.99. I always use a school diary - they have enough space to write appointments and jot down notes, they are a week to a view, and have all the school and public holidays marked, as well as having space to note special projects, planning etc. But best of all they're sturdy and cheap, and fit neatly in my bag. So much better than any other diary I've tried over the years, and I've tried a few different brands and versions.
Used a 4c off voucher to fill the car with petrol on Thursday when it was $111c/litre. I'm finding that I'm driving less so I'm only having to fill up once every 16 days or so - our petrol budget is going down!
Reworked our budget for the rest of the year.
Dropped some unwanted clothes and doona covers we no longer need or use to the op shop.
And I've just put the roast in the oven for tea tonight, peeled the veggies and made an apple crumble to put in the oven later for dessert tonight.
And this is the week that was.
