Cleaning

I have started work on the kitchen today. I have made good progress. I just wish that I could keep it tidy though.

I think that one of the reasons why I am feeling such negative vibes from our home is from the fact that there is too much clutter. I need to get rid of it. I have cleaned the living room and the kitchen and it feels much nicer  now. I really need to start teaching the wee ones to tidy up after themselves. They are old enough to do so.

I made my mum mad at me today though (though to be honest that is not hard to do) I had already planned on getting second hand bunk beds after I got tired of mum saying that she would get some but not doing so. She mentioned about getting it for Christmas when she was last here, but I was not happy about that as I would prefer the wee ones to have something else for Christmas from them. I told her today that I was going to get them a set second hand and she was not happy with me at all. She said that with second hand beds the mattress will be soiled. She did not seem happy when I said that the bed that my eldest sleeps in was second hand and that the mattress was fine. I wish that I could refuse her offers without upsetting her.

My DVD's arrived from lovefilm today. One one them was disc one of Wild China. I watched it all tonight while my partner was out. It was so beautiful that I will have to buy it. It showed me just how little I know about china and the people that live there. I have learned so much tonight that I am so much looking forward to the next part arriving. I will have to buy the DVD soon along with Yellowstone. Stunning documentaries (exactly the type that I like to watch)

Another good thing that came from watching the documentary. I did not switch my computer on for a good part of the night (I did some cleaning while watching them as well) I am so glad that I did. It has been really good for me to get a night off the computer. I need to do this more often. I have been spending too much time on here at the expense of what I really need to do in life.
