Sorting Out Forty .

Sorting out forty . 

A blog about an unorganised artist with three kids , one with ADHD and Aspergers , two fishtanks , one cat and a husband . 

Hitting forty is a bit of a difficult time  for everyone but I had heard life begins at forty and I am determined that mine will too . A little bit about me . I am an artist , three times winner of the David Shepherd Wildlife artist of the year Wild places award  . I am a mum , daughter , wife , sister , friend and everything that comes with . I also have a collapsing disease /problem , stress , anxiety and depression . My dad died last december from cancer , my mum has beaten cancer twice . It has been a long , hard , exhausting slog . I have been unwell since my teens when my thyroid stopped working . and exhausted ever since . 

So you see why I need to sort things out  , and I will ! 

I started this blog to share how things are going , to motivate myself and to share those things I love . I have started a new healthy eating plan and exercise regime , I am batch cooking , saving money , organising my house and my kids and learning just how good life can be  . 

Here is the good bit . The start of all this change was FILOFAX ! WHY did I never have one before . 

My new Filofax came ! wohoo ! Its a pocket size pink one and its fab . 

I already have a Filofax retro bloom personal that has transformed the way I manage my daily life , a small thing made SUCH a difference . More on my Retro bloom on other posts ,  I just want to share my new baby ! 

I have a Filofax obsession which is  really helping control my depression in a number of ways  , if i have a Filofax I have to find a way to use it ! I use my retro bloom for my day to day diary  , health tracker , things to do etc and my new pink pocket Filo I  am going to use as a holiday planner . Here it is ! 

At the back is a mesh pocket I can use to store train tickets etc when I am actually on holiday . I will take this filo with me , its the perfect size and will have all the info in it I need . 

The best bit . At the front it has credit card slots and a full length pocket

A map too ! I wasn't expecting that as this Filofax was second hand from Ebay .

It includes a today marker /ruler in pink and all the paper in it is pink too because it is the breast cancer awareness Filofax .

I cant resist putting on my new page setup in my Filofax Retro Bloom personal . I love being greeted each day with bright colours , it really helps to keep me smiling and my mood balanced . I will upload a photo in my next blog post of the end of week look when its all full so you can see just how much I love to use it . 

Thanks for following along with me  on my first post  , I hope you follow my blog and follow my journey !
