Stitchy's 101 things challenge for DFWs

OrangeFairy

Hello my luuuuuuuuuuurvley ladies :D:D:D:D:D

Need to start concentrating on my list again i think

Something i completed a couple of weeks ago

27. Play a game of squash

Bit fast for me!! Played again OH. Much prefer my badminton!!! But done!!

Ongoing at the mo:

7. go to 5 local restuarants I haven't been to - Took OH out for fathers day to Pig on The Hill yesterday. 2 restaurants down - 3 to go!!
18 Complete a coloring book - about a third of a book done
39. Read all of the Harry Potter books - nearly finished the 4th one - so 3 to go!
40 Finish my AAT course - one months to go
96. Make ourselves a nice garden at the new house :-)- while aay BIL turfed the garden as a wedding present for us!! Fantastic gift and made us half way there for this task!!

I thought i was well ahead of the game but worked out how many i should have done. 1 task average every ten days means i i should have done 32 tasks minimum really. I have done 34 so not really ahead! Need to get my bottom in gear or that end date will creep up on me!!!

Hello

I was here at the start and kinda never got started, I have done 9 and got 11 in progress, I am so sad I have ordered them so that all the done ones come first to make me feel better!

Welcome back Buffy!!!

Good luck with your list - i want to get moving a bit more with mine soon

OrangeFairy

Right i am going to think of things in targets one at a time and focus on them!

If some happen per chance then that is great!

Went for lunch with OH to a local resturant i havent been to before. Thats 3 restaurants out of my 5!!

My next one to really focus on - read all the harry potter books. I am nearly finished book 4 - Goblet of Fire - but i have been nearly finishing it for about 3 months now!! Will get a move on. xx

Of course I knew what you were reading... As soon as I read your reply on the other thread I knew I already knew the answer. I got a bit slow towards the end when I was reading through them.

I'm reading one from my 101 list just now - Emma. Can't believe I've never read it because I love all the other Jane Austen books.

Has anyone heard from Stitchy recently??

I'm still reading and enjoying everyone's posts, both here and on the small things thread. I'm having a few major personal issues and am struggling to keep focussed on anything other than getting to work in the mornings and staying there until 5.30!!!

nfortunately I'm further through the 1001 days than the rest of you as I started on 1st January 2010. I've re-read my list and really need to up my game and get a move on.

Good to hear from you Stitchy - though sorry you are having issues at the moment. I hope they are nothing too bad.

La E- Just finished Goblet of Fire tonight!! I am slow reading them but then it is difficult when you know what happens i suppose! You dont have that suspense of the not knowing that would make it a page turner!! Nice to know a little more about the storyline that you dont get from the film though. Felt very sad when Cedric died...Sirius next book and then Fumbledore the one after that - it's a downward spiral!!

More progress from the witch, although they are very minor, baby steps

Started:
(41) Do dolls' house interior - just a few more beams to add and a door latch to fit and it's finished :beer:
(78) Make samples of waspie corset

Finished:
(62) Finish 'Dolls House' cross stitch
(92) De-clutter our bedroom*

*This actually changed to 'De-clutter my bedroom' as the only way to de-clutter it was to turf DH out into the spare room and turn my bedroom into a sanctuary for myself. It's a long, boring story but in essence neither of us can afford to leave so we are stuck sharing a house!

I've decided I need to procrastinate less and am going to try to finish at least four things every month. Many of my things are on-going and will naturally finish at the end of the 1001 days, but the others need to be worked on.:)

OrangeFairy

Welcome back stitchy

Well you have decluttered DH from your room so that is a start!

I am powering on with the Harry pottr books. Over half way through the 5th one. I really want to get to the last one after watching it the other day - so that is definite motivation!

I sold 80% of my CD's the other day. 10% left that are singles so i am going to check if any would go on ebay for anything and then donate the rest. 10% are albums that have no CD's in them as they were in a cd wallet in the car which we think is now in the loft. Once i find them i can sell the rest and cross 'Sell all of our CD's' of my list

Decluttering the house at the moment - yet another list of clutter areas to get through. I have 3 good storage boxes to take home from work. This will sort - 'Replace the kids under bed boxes with quality ones'.

I also need to focus on my AAT. I am awaiting the results of 3 exams. One i should get on friday. But i also have to finsish my project. Then i can cross AAT off my list! :j

edited to add i just checked online and the result for the big exam was there!!! Passed it!!!! woohoo!!

OrangeFairy

Morning all!!

A big woohoo to finishing 'The Order of the Phoenix' last night. It is the biggest book with the smallest writing out of the 7! Just 2 more to go! I will be pleased to get this one crosed of my list as it has been the most time consuming so far.

I felt a little disappointed recently but there are lots of things i have nearly done and quite a few on there i could just get on with pretty quickly if i suddenly decided to do it - like carving my name in a tree - sending a message in a bottle and leaving and inspirational note!

In November i will cross centerparcs off my list - plus while we are there we are going to a spa and ice skating so that will be 3 off my list. I could also book horse riding which i would like to do with DD1. That would be 4 things in one week

Hoping to cross Harry Potter off my list by the end of the summer hols at least! Also i am sorting DD2's bedrrom today. I have bought new boxes for under their beds so once i replace the ones that have i can cross that off. Plus i have bought 2 boxes - one to have as a memory box and one to have as a photo box - this is on my list too - i just need to sort them!!

So a lot of positive things there! xx
