I wish life skills like this were taught at school.<br /><br />Chocolate soup with morello cherries sounds far fancier than this but incredibly good!Karihttp://bite-sized-thoughts.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-83350985766736469892011-12-12T07:23:42.001+00:002011-12-12T07:23:42.001+00:00Glad I'm not alone with that!!

These books certainly worked for me, I hope you enjoy them if you or E do end up reading them.<br /><br />I chuckled at the idea of wiping the To Do list; it seems like such a free way to go about things and clearly the bills do still get paid and life continues on :)<br /><br />Interestingly, I rarely add chocolate to smoothies either (I think it was the chocolate hazlenut milk needing to be used that triggered this). If you use normal milk and more of it, this would turn into a non-chocolate smoothie in no time!Karihttp://bite-sized-thoughts.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-48501237018014213872011-12-12T07:20:22.198+00:002011-12-12T07:20:22.198+00:00Early nights are definitely under-rated - and too ...Early nights are definitely under-rated - and too few and far between at times! I hope yours come soon.<br /><br />I like the idea of imaging the closed door, that is a lovely idea.

Work creeps into family events, innocent phone calls turn business like etc. But I do my best. On the weekend or out of hours if I think of something, I quickly send myself an email and then stop thinking about it. I find the act of writing something down stops my brain mulling over it so much. My Dad also taught me to prioritise and to speak up and ask for help when needed. I think both of these things help make my time manageable so that I can shut the door.<br /><br />Your smoothie looks like a much naughtier chocolate soup with morello cherries that I once had and have since considered making on many an occassion.Lisa @ Blithe Momentshttp://blithemoments.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-42457866938218076792011-12-11T20:26:08.661+00:002011-12-11T20:26:08.661+00:00I am HOPELESS at 'shutting the door'.

I love crime detective fiction - though I love ones where there is a lot of dense writing and character development.<br /><br />My to list is ridiculously long - I just never keep track of it these days and just wipe my brain each night and only realise when I find I haven't done stuff but I am more accepting of to do items that don't get done and pleased when they do. (Though I do try and keep track of bills lest my lights or internet suddenly go down so I guess I manage with the important stuff like that)<br /><br />The smoothie would be great for me but I just lose interest when it is presented as pudding - and I also don't add chocolate/cocoa to smoothies - which is odd as I love chocolateJohannaGGGhttp://www.gggiraffe.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-79306539076169058652011-12-11T07:52:59.899+00:002011-12-11T07:52:59.899+00:00I've got two new books just waiting by my beds...I've got two new books just waiting by my bedside waiting for an early night and a whole lot of reading- can't wait. I don't know any of the books that you listed there, I'll have to keep my eye out for them.<br /><br />Closing the door, I used to have to make a real effort at the end of the day otherwise it would all just carry over to the next day creating a ridiculous amount of anxiety before they day had even sprung. The mental imagery of physically closing a door helped.cityhippyfarmgirlhttp://cityhippyfarmgirl.com/noreply@blogger.com
