Planning and plans for the future

I got the call from my interview on Thursday to say I had the job. This was great news. I am over the moon about this. It's a massive change and it's a massive upheaval but I can't help thinking it couldn't have happened at a better time or a better period.

All this means however, that it's time for a massive declutter and sort out of the house. I have 3months before i start the new job but that will be pushing it for time knowing this place!! So the declutter is planned for next weekend. I may even start packing things away in preparation for the move.

This does bring me to planning though. The plans for the future are pretty much there now - I'm moving jobs and changing life. Planning in general though, does not come easily to me. I hate planning out my meals for the week, I hate planning my exercise for the week, I hate planning full stop. But the fact of the matter is it works for me. In a minimal quantity anyway. So I'm about to sit down and go through my freezer and chuck out the things that I know I won't eat. And then I'm going to base this weeks meals around what's in there. And then I'm going to see if I can get next week's out of them as well.

The freezer is really full at the minute and i'm unsure how much stuff is edible or tasty in there. So I'm having a clear out. The start of the declutter I suppose :) Then I can go through my cupboards and presses and do the same. So all I should need to do tomorrow is to top up with fresh fuit and vegetables and make sure I have all the essentials. I have bread, eggs and cheese anyway, so a mainly f&v shop looks in order.

Now I also have dinner tonight sorted - there's chicken soup stewing and Al has made a casserole so that's ok.So for the rest of today I need to:

* finish laundry
* tidy living room
* go to gym
* wash car
* tidy bedroom
* lay out clothes for the week
* bag up clothes for charity

It appears like it's a lot but it's not really. I had a nice relaxing day yesterday in Cheltenham - and man, but La Tasca is enough to have anyone break out of strict eating plans!!! so today is about preparation, preparation, preparation....... :)

I'm feeling a lot happier in myself and my life now I know things are going to change. It's like a huge weight has lifted off my shoulders!!! :)
