2011 plans

Instead of resolutions I do plans.  My plans for 2011 that relate to living green (and country) in the city are:

1. Start a recycle craft group for Transition Leytonstone
2. Carefully go through every bit of the "studio" (large, walk-in junk cupboard!) throwing and recycling what I can and tidying the rest.  Investigate getting a clutter consultant to come in and see if I can improve on that.
3. Try to get rid of other stuff I am not using in the rest of the house.
4. Try to find thermal linings for my curtains
5. Get new boiler
6. Investigate replacing spare bedroom window where the seal of the double glazing has gone.  Triple glazed?  (Mainly as hopefully a more specialist firm will be better than Anglian and Everest, etc)
7. Get more things for my "countryman's hedge"

Transition Leytonstone and Craft Group

Yesterday evening I went to the Christmas meet-up of the Transition Leytonstone Group at Ros's house.  As well as food and talk we spent a while discussing what Transition Leystonstone had achieved during the year and what we could do next year. The Steering Group has put on an average of one event a month but wants more people to be actively interested and participating in groups etc not just signing up to receive emails and occasionally attending an event.

I have volunteered to hold a recycle craft group at my house.  I am thinking of late March, so the house needs to be tidy and ready emough for me to get Ros to put the invite out to the email list late February.  One way of getting myself to do more housework!

But I do like the idea of my home being used a bit more, especially as it (theoretically!) large for one person
