This week was a generally good week. We broke up from school and college for the Pesach (Passover) holidays. I caught up completely with my grading (except that a few more papers have now been uploaded so I'll tackle them later today). Yesterday I started on a long awaited project which I can't tell you about for a few weeks but I'm very excited to be doing it. And you will be informed in due course. Here are some highlights that I can tell you about.

I'm so fed up of hunting for the right plastic box for lunches and other food storage. I have a good system for the lids so that's not the problem. It's having to crawl into the cupboard every time I needed a box and it's trying to tidy boxes that don't stack and have them dissolve into chaos again within a day. They should be in a deep drawer but I don't have one available so.... I bought another plastic box as a home for all the little plastic boxes. A plastic box orphanage if you like, that I can just slide out and lift onto the counter for full access without crawling. Result.

Remember that sad baby lettuce plant we got from school in
exchange for our compost? I didn't think it would survive but look at it now. Ok, the birds are eating the actual lettuce leaves but I'm still impressed with it. And it's kind of nice to have living birdfeed on our balcony.

My Klout score has jumped from 43.5 to 49.5 thanks to some concerted social media effort on my part. Namely, joining instagram and upping my blogging. This only resulted in 20 places gained on the TOTS100 ranking but I still have a few tricks up my sleave.
That's it for this week. I'm linking to
R2BC at Lakes Single Mum.
I find organising things makes life happier and easier! Well done on the lettuce. Whoop to the Klout score, I went back up 13 places in the tots :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree, I cannot function in a messy environment.
DeleteGood tidying. I also have a plastic box orphanage and it works a treat! Mich x
ReplyDeleteI don't know what took me so long to think of it.
DeleteLove the idea of a plastic box orphanage, but with multiple putters away of plastic boxes here, am not sure it would work!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the exciting project and well done on the Tots, I wish I had the energy to try and figure out what I need to do if I want to improve my score :)
Yes, it does help that there are only two of us and only one putter away of boxes.
