Number 57 may seem an odd thing to want to acheive to most people.I've got in to a habit of sleeping on the sofa. It largely came about as my Husband is a night owl- I didn't want to go to bed with out him and so snoozed on the sofa. And then he'd wake me to go to bed when he went up. But I started sleeping too deeply for him to wake me and when he did manage it, I couldn't drop off again once in bed.
It also doesn't help that our bedroom is an awful place to be. A dumping ground. I feel claustrophobic in there and every where I look there is something that makes me feel edgy- piles of stuff with no homes to be put away to. Patches of tester-colours on the walls, horrible laminate floor that collects dust bunnies as fast as I can hoover them up.
So number 57 is goes hand in hand with #3 'make my room a haven'. But for now I'm just trying to break the habit of sleeping downstairs all night.

About Me
- Kate
- I'm 30 and having a real turn around in my life. I've gone from a buy now, pay later kinda girl to a make do and mend kinda woman. I've got 2 children - William who is 5 going on 50 and Ruby who is 4 going on 14 (so a grumpy old man in the making and a perpetual teenager). I'm married to Ade. We live with Janet (a Giant african land snail),Pearl the cat and 3 hens - Victoria Peckham, Martine Mcclukins and Felicity Hendal. I'm a horticultural student too. Just because I thought I had too much spare time.
