Smarties come from Rowntree’s which was a company in York England that also produced Yorkies, Kit Kat, Aero, Rolo and Whack-a-Pack Mackintosh Toffee, plus the Xmas Quality Street chocolates (heaven!!!) but then they were bought out by Nestle (who isn’t owned by this multinational?!?) and the flavours/quality went downhill on everything (of course!)

(I know all this because a good family friend worked for Rowntree’s for years)

@ Jade, thanks, I’ll yell if I need you.

@ Marc, yes, I’ve been very slack too. This post was inspired by a discussion on a WAHM forum where we were talking about goals and I realised I’ve let mine slide. Oops…

@ Alex, you’re right, we need to chunk down the big goals into smaller one’s and I love your idea of creating habits! You obviously haven’t seen our dishes if you think they’re not scary….

@ Christie, they don’t? Wow, the poor americans…. Smarties are WONDERFUL! I wonder if it’s a Commonwealth chocolate? LOL! Your goals of just 15 minutes on a constant basis sounds a great foundation to start building up good habits. Let us know how you go?

Did you know Americans don’t have Ssmarties like that? Theirs are more like sweet-tarts, not the yummy chocolaty goodness that (I assume) us Canadians, Brits and Australians have. My goal this month is to simplify further, this month 15 minutes a day of cutting out any excess that is still capturing my attention (unsubscribing, cancel magazine subscriptions I don’t have time to read, getting rid of clothes I no longer wear). Simplify for 31 days at 15 minutes a day should make September much more simple.

I’m all about breaking goals down into small steps, usually repetitive steps so that I can turn them into habits and they snowball into big successes.

Right now instead of finishing the first draft of my novel, I wrote one scene today and will write one tomorrow and so on, only ever thinking about the next scene, which is no more scary than washing the dishes.

I like Smarties. Which is good because I also like this post.

Sage advice Mel. I need to get back into the habit of keeping a to-do list and setting some goals. I’ve been very lax of late.
