I joined Twitter 898 days ago (25 November 2008)
My first follower was @BookofMe
My first Tweet was “has just joined twitter” at 12:04 AM Nov 25th 2008
So When did you join Twitter? Who was your first follower? And what was your first Tweet?
As you know, if you’ve been a long time follower of my blog, I’ve been trying to follow Flylady numerous times and I always seem to fail. I do ok for a week or two then just get disheartened and give up. I was doing some blog surfing recently and found a link to HabitHacker and thought I’d check it out. Sounds ok. Sounds like something I could do.
The first step in habit hacking your ‘nest’ is to “Polish your place” (or choose a spot & clean it). It can be any place – your sink (ala FlyLady) or your bedside table or anything. Just somewhere you will keep clean everyday.
I chose my main bench in the kitchen. It’s a dumping ground. We make cuppa’s here. I prepare food here. I, for some reason known only to a small part of my brain, sort mail here. Lately it’s been shocking. Cue the Before photo
Well one week in and I am still managing to keep this bench tidy. I’m finding it so easy to give it a quick wipe over and to put things away when I’ve finished with them and to give it a spray and wipe after breakfast and before I go to bed.
See?
Do you follow a system to keep your home organised? What do you love about it?
I have finally set up a fan page for Nightwolf’s Den. Feel free to come on over and ‘Like’ me (& point me out to your friends if you think they would like me to – hey I’m not against shameless self promotion LOL)
The reason? Well I’ve been taking part in a couple of Facebook chats on blogging. Last week we discussed PR & blogging. Mummy Bloggers Blog posted a transcript of the chat. Tonight the chat was on blogging & social media (I’ll update when a transcript goes up)
And as a bonus I thought I’d share Diminishing Lucy’s post – 15 top Twitter tips for Bloggers
As part of Shimelle’s Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers class we were asked to take a look at our current blog design. Then look at what surrounded each post. So I have spent a few days redesigning my little piece of the blogosphere and this is the result. I think it looks a bit more clean and streamlined and hopefully it’s easier for you to find what you are looking for.
I thought I’d give you a quick run down on what you’ll find in the new design.
To get back to the main page at anytime, just click on my header.
Over to the left you will find:
Takes you to my About Me page. Find out a little about me & my blog.
How you can contact me, subscribe to my blog or find me on Facebook & Twitter.
My scrapbooking resume. You know, in case anyone wants me to do some scrapbooking for them. Or is interested in offering me a Design Team spot.
A link to my gallery. Here you will find a selection of my scrapbook pages, art journals, digital pages, cards and off the page creations. Oh yeah, I love comments so feel free to leave me some love 😉
Pretty self explanatory. Just links to stuff I love. Most are affiliate links – just so you know.
On the right you’ll find:
Search – looking for something I posted and can’t find it. Search my blog.
My blogging categories. Making things easier for you to find.
Just random blinkies and stuff that interests me. Ranges from sites I frequent to lists I’m on, to causes I support and copyright info.
So that’s it. Hope you like the new look and it’s a bit easier for you to find things 
I’m working on a little overhaul – a new look 
I’m hoping to be finished soon.
Not me. Unless it’s watching hubby do it but that rarely happens. So anything to make my life a little easier is always a good thing.
Since Miss K arrived and more so since she started eating solids (and isn’t that fun) I’ve been doing at least one load a day and sometime that also includes a load of washing to soak – you know the usual stains that don’t just come out in the wash. So when I was given the opportunity to try Biozet Attack Ecosmart washing liquid I thought ‘Why not?’
I’m a huge believer in using laundry liquid since Miss K came along. I find it easier to use and it doesn’t leave a powdery residue even if I used the suggested dose. Also I wash with warm water. Yeah I know washing with cold water is better but until we can afford to redo all the plumbing in the bathroom & laundry – warm water it is.
Anywho back to the laundry liquid. One of my biggest gripes with laundry liquid is you always seem to use a fair bit. For example, the current brand I use suggests 1 1/2 to 2 caps per full load. I use one & it seems to wash fine. With Biozet Attack Ecosmart you only need one 19ml ‘shot’ per wash. And you know what? That tiny amount cleans a full load of washing. And my white towels actually seem to come out whiter. I also noted that it gets out stains that my other liquids haven’t. Pretty cool.
It is smaller than other liquids but gives about the same amount of washes. And the bottle is refillable. And it is about the same price as the current liquid I use.
So would I buy it again? Yup for sure.
Disclaimer – I was provided a full bottle of Biozet Attack Ecosmart and refill for the purpose of review. All opinions above are my own.
