Hope you've all had a good week! It's been a busy one for me... preparing to go to Eurododge '14 in Vienna as manager now, yikes!
I also promised (back in January when I wrote
this post) that I would do an update on my "23 before 23" list. The reality is that I've done so badly I didn't want to bring it up... but now, with less than a week to go until I turn 23, it seems a good time to induce a last minute panic!
1) Pay off my overdraft Very proud of myself, though I'm skint as a result!
2) Go on a spa break We went to Bannatyne's in early January
3) Learn to use photoshop STILL TO DO
4) Go to the theatre I just haven't found anything I've wanted to see at a time I could make it!
5) Get through a full week of work days drinking only water and green tea I have only managed this once, and to be honest I can't believe I did it. Since then I'm managing a couple of days, but the temptation of fizzy drinks is just too much.
6) Do a "Park Run" This really isn't going to happen. Only one Saturday left, and running makes me feel sick!
7) Learn matched betting I'm reading. I promise. I just don't have the spare funds to actually do it yet!
8) Make £20 from survey sites £20 of Topshop vouchers won from valued opinions are in my purse waiting to be spent!
9) Go to a theme park Okay, so not quite done, but I'm going to Alton Towers next week!
10) Go to Betty's I just haven't managed to face the queues!
11) Cook a roast dinner We're always out on Sundays!
12) Get a new (to me!) bike, and use it Still scouring gumtree!
13) Have a wardrobe consisting only of clothes that I wear I have been ruthless, ebaying and filling charity bags like crazy! And feel much better for it.
14) Find the cause of my headaches Possibly too vague a target, but I have ticked off because I've been working on it. I've made a food diary, bought new glasses and finally got contacts.
15) Write something (a play, a poem, a short story...) This is one of those I really want to try to do in the next week. I absolutely loved writing, I really hope I get the time to get back into it.
16) Go on monthly dates with Ted I've been for a few lovely meals with Ted. More daytime dates are my target for the future, assuming we have enough free weekends!
17) Blog at least twice a week Urmm. Can't even pretend I passed at this one.
18) Make new friends in York Not really. I blame dodgeball for ruining my weekends!
19) Learn to paint my nails neatly It's getting better. I'm no longer painting my fingers rather than my nails... but it's definitely not "neat"! If anyone has any tips for the clumsy amongst us, let me know!
20) Book a holiday Iceland with Ted and my sister; Snowdonia with a few friends in April. Hoping we can afford a bit of sun too, but excited nonetheless!
21) Medal at a dodgeball tournament Okay so I haven't actually got the medal yet, but our men's dodgeball team won Division 2 North and I was part of the team! Yay! Plus England Dodgeball got triple gold at my first tournament in charge.
22) Read 5 books And they were: "The Signal and The Noise", "Mr Pip", "This isn't the sort of thing that happens to someone like you", "Heart of Darkness", "The Norm Chronicles".
23) Dye my hair This is something I'm hoping to do this week, nothing too drastic though!
How good are you at keeping to targets like this?
