determined_new_ms

next month (from 9/09/11-08/10/11) I will:

# 12 Leave an inspirational note inside a book for someone to find
#31 Go skinny dipping in the ocean (while on holiday ) done did it while we were on holiday (prob on 13.09.11) in the dead of the night after a few glasses of vino - clearly exposed to anyone who happened to look out at the sea from their balcony at the hotel! :rotfl::o
finish # 34 go to 5 local restuarants I haven't been to (4/5) 1 more to go & I really want to go to the greek resturant
# 45 do not do any housework for a week (yippe!)- will have to do a mega clean before I do this!
# 50 have a week when I do not spend any money
# 73 eat a battered mars bar

So that'll keep me going for a month as well as the things I'm carrying over from this last month

Orange - thanks for the inspiration to work on this again :A ur camping trip sounds like it was lovely!

You are welcome DNMS! I am feeling motivated!

I am enjoying crossing things off at the moment!

Need to look at my list to see the expensive ones - like buy a sofa, pay off my debt, buy a solid oak table etc. Need to plan the order for these! Table is definitely first! Ours is a small circular bistro table that fits 4. Not good for having guests and we have had OH's son around a few times recently and so we are them a family of 5.

A lot of things i will need to pick up for xmas - like make a homemade gift and homemade cards etc.

Woohoo, done #55 - Pay off loan by 31.12 11

That's a biggie for me as it was a 7 year loan at £297.14 a month - a total of over £17K. Considering my financial fortunes changed dramatically after a couple of years, including long spells of illness, my redundancy and DH falling ill for 3 years, I'm amazed I got there, but today it is officially paid off :j:j:j

Well done everyone who has been busy crossing things off!

Nat your list is so funny in places! Love it though I think my next list will include a couple of the less naughty ones, I don't think I could bring myself to uh, you know what in a lift!

Great news on finishing paying off your loan Stitchy! That is great news!!!!

LOL Perni - my OH tried to convince me that 'having sex under the stars while camping' was on my list. Seeing that niether 'Die of embarrassment' or 'Freeze to death' were on there i told him it would be a no!!!

Pernicious

Haha! That one I think is actually quite romantic if you could ensure there were no peeping Toms! Would have to be at the height of Summer though as you're right about the freezing part!

I think its a minimum couple of days until I get used to my hair. I go through a cycle of loving it when its first done, then hating it & then finally moving into liking it by day 3 @ the latest! x

OF, I'm sure you'll love your hair once you realise how easy it is to look after very short hair. I'm determinied to get mine cut VERY short next week and mine is what I call "bra-strap" length - quite long then!

DNMS - your pavlova looks amazing. Save me a slice and I'll be down next week .......
