Spring is the time of new beginnings isn’t it? My resolution for 2012 was to Choose Life. Despite some hiccups I’m doing just that, slowly, slowly. So what’s the next step? It came to me at 3am a few days ago. I have to get back in the driving seat and get some direction back in my life. The boys are growing fast, I want them to have a chilled, calm and confident mother, don’t we all?

So I’m drawing up a Life Plan, using my (frankly marvellous) lists as inspiration. The next few months are about decluttering. Actually and metaphorically. I’m stripping back all my commitments, all my tat, all my UFO’s and spending some time identifying what’s important for the future. Then I’ll go for my goals. Slowly, slowly.

Just to reassure, however, my love of eBay remains. I picked this tome up for pennies. Isn’t it fab? I just wanted to show you what 13 yo’s should be able to do…

Can you make knickers? I think we ought to know!
