How to Declutter Your Home Fast

HOW TO DECLUTTER YOUR HOME FAST

Want to declutter your home fast? Feeling overwhelmed? I know how you feel!

It’s actually easier to declutter your home than you think.  It’s one of those jobs that we tend to put off because the thought of it is usually very much worse than the reality.  Or simply, we just don’t know where to start.

I have never liked clutter.  When I became a mom, the clutter seemed to pile up even more and the thought of clearing it just seemed like a huge mountain to climb.  The more stuff we accumulated, the more got shoved into cupboards and drawers!

Everything I read talked about spending 30 days decluttering….. that’s a whole month!  I have tried these decluttering challenges before and I lose momentum and don’t reach the end of the task so I feel deflated.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I will always look for the easiest and quickest way to do something, so spending a month decluttering my home wasn’t an option.  I want it done now!

So if you want to declutter your home, but you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone!

Today I will show you how to declutter your home fast. This means:

  1. You will believe you can do it
  2. It will be easy for you to actually get started
  3. You will actually finish
  4. There will be time to do it more regularly

So, are you in?

Make an Extra £100 This Week

MAKE AN EXTRA £100 THIS WEEK

Would you like to know how to make an extra £100 this week?

For those of you that follow my blog you will know that I make all of my income from home, mainly on-line.  I love working from home and have a few income streams. This blog is just one of them. If you want to set up a blog of your own, I have written some really useful step by step instructions here.

You can read about my first 12 months blogging income here

I’ve been self-employed for 15 years now and the one thing it has taught me is you can always make extra money if you put your mind to it.

We often read about people who are earning thousands and thousands of pounds per month on-line, but if you are not used to making extra money, that might seem out of reach.

Sometimes we just need to earn some extra cash fast and being able to make an extra £100 this week might just make all the difference.

What would £100 do for you?  Maybe it would help with your Christmas shopping, maybe put it towards a holiday or perhaps you just want to treat you and your family to an amazing day out.

The value of it will be very personal, but whatever it is you want it for, today I am going to show you how to do it, totally risk free!

If you do the work and follow the instructions, in one week’s time you will be £100 better off!

Make Money As A Chat-Line Operator

MAKE MONEY AS A CHAT-LINE OPERATOR AND EARN UP TO £2000 PER MONTH

I can feel you blushing at the thought of becoming a Chat-Line Operator but is it as bad as it sounds?  You must be a little bit curious, right?

I have previously written about working from home on the telephone but this one is a little bit different.

For me, it conjures up all sorts of images, thoughts and fears but if you could earn £2000 per month working the hours you choose, from the comfort of your own home, could you do it?

No commuting, no boss, no asking for holidays, a good hourly rate.  Almost sounds too good to be true.

It’s certainly not for everyone but if you need to earn extra income, it may not be worth ruling it out as an option until you have read this post.

I asked a mum who makes a full-time income working as a Chat-Line Operator what it’s really like, in the hope of answering all your questions.  Here is what she said….

Surveys that Pay Cash – Can You Really Make Money With Surveys?

SURVEYS THAT PAY CASH

IS IT POSSIBLE, CAN YOU REALLY MAKE MONEY WITH SURVEYS?

Do surveys that pay cash exist? Have you ever wondered if you can really make money with surveys?

This is something I’ve been wondering about a lot lately. I’ve done a few surveys in the past and made a few pounds but never really committed to it. I’ve always been too busy bringing in what I thought was the ‘bigger’ money, but could surveys be the ‘bigger’ money?

Looking around on the net and social media, there seemed to be a lot of people claiming to make a nice little part-time income from surveys so I thought that I would investigate further.

It seems that if you are willing to commit some time, then this can be a great way to make money on-line.

I wanted to share with you all the information so that you can read it for yourself and make up your own mind about whether YOU can make money on-line with surveys.

Here I have gathered together a selection of great posts from some top UK money bloggers to share with you today.  Or if you prefer, just head to the bottom of this post where you can read my own experience and to see if surveys that pay cash really do work.

Learn How This Child Set Up His Own Business

LEARN HOW THIS CHILD SET UP HIS OWN BUSINESS

I recently learned about a child who has set up his own business designing and manufacturing socks using positive affirmations.

As you may know, I encourage my own child to make money. I believe that encouraging children and showing them that they can create their own income should they choose, is an important part of creating a healthy relationship with money for them.

Children are naturally creative and sometimes have some fantastic ideas.   Great inventions need research and I wrote a post recently about where you can get help with making money from inventions which you can read here.

So, back to the child who designs his own socks……..

Nine year old Safin started his designs for Socky Wocky at his kitchen table and now has a website, http://www.sockywocky.co.uk/ where he sells his “really cool, bright and fun socks”.

Safin’s mum does all the admin, but the ideas and designs, including the company logo come from Safin himself.

I had the privilege of interviewing this intelligent young man to find out more.  Read on to hear more about Safin in his own words.  Prepare to be inspired!

How to Make Money Flower Arranging

HOW TO MAKE MONEY FLOWER ARRANGING

I didn’t really know how to do flower arranging until I got married. I wanted to save money on my wedding and when I started looking at the cost of wedding flowers I was sure I could do it cheaper myself.

For my wedding I needed 3 bouquets, flowers for the guest tables, flowers for the top table, button holes and a cake topper.  The cost was hundreds of pounds!

Fresh flowers were the most expensive. I didn’t want the stress on the day of waiting for fresh flowers to arrive.  To me, it was just another thing to worry about, so I settled on artificial flowers.

I searched for the cheapest ways to do wedding flowers and decided to have a go at making my own, making a huge saving with all of my wedding flowers costing me £70. After the wedding I then sold them in the local paper for £50. This gave me the idea that I could make money flower arranging!

Today I will share with you how you can do the same using artificial flowers. (If you prefer fresh flowers, I recommend this book here). (more…)

Diggerland Review

DIGGERLAND REVIEW

Diggerland was my 7 year old son’s choice of birthday treat this year.  We ask him each year whether he would like a party or a special day out and this year, much to my delight and relief, he chose a day out.

We love family days out and my son is crazy about all things to do with construction, so this was the perfect combination for us to celebrate his day.

There are currently four Diggerland locations across the UK.  The current parks are in Kent, Devon, Durham and Yorkshire with another one planned for the not too distant future.  We chose Devon because we keep our little caravan down there so it made sense to combine the two visits.
