Stitchy's 101 things challenge for DFWs

La_escocesa

Hey everyone :wave:

I think I have done a few but scared to look because I know I don't have the £2 to put away for every one I complete

Let's see...

Learn at least 3 chords on the guitar - done - I know 4

Sit in the passenger seat while OH drives - done - even if it was just round an empty car park

Might 'make scones like my granny's' on Friday - am off work and visiting family on Saturday so would be nice to take them with me.

Lots of love everyone :grouphug:

(I'm just struggling through work at the min and not doing v much else apart from that I'll hopefully be back on form once the scheme I'm working on goes 'Live'. Boo.)

Hi everyone :wave:

Me again Just spotted the Crimson Petal and the White for £1.47 on Kindle :j

One of the things on my list is to read this again - good ol' BBC for making it into a drama and Amazon for bringing the price of their ebook down from £9.99! :beer:

hey gang I have finally finished my list! I have added my new minimalist lifestyle & running a 10k race & it is now complete!

I am currently working on
#52 grow my own veg - won't tick it off until I start to get some produce

#97 go to see a Reggea band - doing that on Sunday afternoon with a friend done (24.04.11) was lovely sun was shinning, sweet tunes were playing

#30 stop swearing - this I am finding so hard so have now (as of yesterday) set up a swear box & each time I curse I put 20p in to be donated to charity when I finally complete the challenge!

#17 make custom recipe book for my friend

#44 still trying to loose a stone, but still failing terribly - have decided to continue trying till June if no luck then give up for a bit!

by next week I will have ticked off #40 make a new friend

and it won't be long before I #54 get up to 4* on MSE :T

oooo forgot one #88 do a 5K race - booked in to do a charity run on 15th May

Yay, a bit of progress this weekend!

Completed #41 - electrify the dolls' house. All three fires and the two candles are on a 'flicker' unit so they look a little bit realistic, and all the oil lamps are on a normal transformer so they don't flicker. Thank goodness DH understands all this stuff!

Started #68 - make raised beds at the allotment. With a bit of luck these will be actually finished by the end of this week.

And of course #81 - start a business. I've only put this as in progress at the moment, even though it is officially open. I'll mark it as completed once the money starts rolling in. :rotfl:

I really need to get my behind into gear as time is ticking away far too quickly and I can see my aim of at least 95% will be have to be changed to at least 75%!!! :o:o

Another weekend for getting a couple of things sorted.

# 68 Make raised beds at the allotment - now finished thanks to DH's hard work over the last few days. :T

# 62 Finish Dolls' House cross stitch - started on Thursday
# 44 Build glider - started today

It's still not much but better than nothing

How's everyone else getting on?

A little update from me - lots more things in progress, & even a couple ticked off!

• Obtain my green belt in tkd - now I need to get my blue tag
• Pay off my overdraft :j
• Be punctual for work most days - I've had this in progress for ages just incase I slip back into my old ways but have just realised I've done this for 5 months solid now I know this is such a silly thing but I really struggle to be punctual , or at least I did but I'm really glad I'm managing to change for the best!

Hope everyone else is getting on ok x
