Time.

I have blogged all week in my head. It has been like a running conversation but apologies to anyone out there who may have checked in and found nothing. Actually there is so much to say that I have struggled to know what.
I have an idea now for my kid's Christmas gifts to nearest and dearest...100% recycled but I cannot say a lot more. It came to me at the caravan last weekend when we had taken a couple of days out to recharge the batteries. (Backfired a bit when the littler boy decided to have one of his worst nights on record! But the weather was GREAT!)
At the caravan too I realised again how easy it is to not recycle but i find more and more I just cannot do it. I cannot consign a bottle to the landfill, or a milk carton or a few empty cans of Scrumpy Jack so I washed, bagged and hauled them on home in the car as I know here where the facilities are. I love when the kids ask which bin things are to go in.
I am four weeks into a chemical free house in terms of cleaning. Such simple ideas with the bicarb, soap and vinegar. I love it. The only slight suspect at the moment is the toilet but I am not sure that is great blog material. I bought another micofibre cloth today. You have got to love them!!
Have not yet hit the second hand clothes stores and planned to check them out week one of my challenge but there is only so much time in a day and so much energy for that matter.
I am realising that a lot of this takes time but if we cannot prioritise things that we feel are important something has to be out of kilter somewhere, right?
And.... a final thought. A 40th Birthday invite in Nov. Beach party. (Inside obviously. This is Scotland, my friends.) Dress code? Cocktail dress! Me? Charity shops? Maybe it would be easier to decline the invite!!
