Hacking Adulthood or maybe not

Here are some lifehacks that will change your life if you follow them through thoroughly so you can achieve the life you always dream of... Lots of Money and a nice retirement pot:

1. Wake up every morning at 5.30
 > So you can do your yoga, read a book, take a shower, have breakfast, do your meditation and write on a piece of paper what you are grateful for (i.e. you have a 40hjob, that pays you £20000 and house not completely paid yet but still) 

2. Smile at work
> Because people like people who smile

3. Overload with stuff to do, you are so lucky, use an app to help you manage it all, or get an IPAD
> it will make your life easier. you will have just one more thing to manage.

4. Cook up your food on Sunday for the week so you do not have to cook at all and have more time for yourself > ...

5. Read 2min long story to your child, they will be happy and you will be quicker in bed

6. Put an alarm on your phone so you can remember to go to bed and to wake up

7. Do some sports cos your body is the most important thing particularly if you are sitting all day

9. Remember to clean after something get dirty or get a cleaner

10. Start again.

11. there is more... please refer to the zillions of self-help books which remind you that you are not perfect and you need fixing.

Horrid Airbnb Experience - Part 6

In part 5, M. confront B. who is half of the man we first met. He cries and he is ashamed of himself. He promises he won't drink no more. We decide to keep him one more night and to help him with his car the following day. The night comes. M. is called to visit his sister. I decide to go with him reluctantly.  As M. and I come out of the house. B. comes down the stairs and said that he is going for a walk. I do not trust him. M. said to me to not worry that he talked to him and everything will be fine. We arrive in front of her sister house. I decide to go back to the house as I am not feeling well. I go back to the house. No one yet. I can hear the clickety of the keys in the door. I decide to open it because I know B. is back. He looks at me, scared. In his a Tesco bag with a pack of 10 Stella Artois. I am horrified. I decide not to confront him. He goes upstairs to the bedroom. I call M.: ''Come back to the house NOW''

When it is good...

When it is good, it is so so good. You are in nirvana as you live for a second or two right now. And then before you know it, It's gone. Accept it. Do not look back. I can't promise that they will be some more enlightenment tomorrow. Yet if you start dancing and smiling, it will be so so good.

Home Energy, Footpaths Challenge - Monitoring Energy Consumption

According to the Energy Saving Trust you could find that your energy usage drops by between  five and 15%  in the first year of using an energy monitor, which could be a saving of £25 to £75 on a £500 bill. I am following the homework of the Footpaths book as promised in previous post ( here ).  I set myself to read my meters every week to monitor my energy consumption. It is tedious.  I tried twice to make it an habit. I fell miserably. Reading is not really the issue but accessing the meter might be the issue. I better put my shoes elsewhere and learn to squat.  I recognise that for changing you have to recognise first your pattern of behaviour.  The truth of the matter is that I do not know exactly how bad we behave in our household. Badly, most probably.  Example - I spent most of the day in my warm gown with a hat on. The heaters  were off. Then family came back home in the evening. I went to the kitchen to cook. I came out of the kitchen, go...
