OrangeFairy - WOW!!! I am so impressed with your cake, it is soooo much better than the Hello Kitty cake I made for my niece! Your daughter is a lucky girl. If you ever get bored of accounts you always have another career option :T

Wow, that's amazing and well done for making five cakes.

There just aren't enough hours in a day/days in a week to fit in everything I'd like to do. Perhaps I need to invent another day called Meday and just dedicate it to whatever I want to do. :rotfl:

Ooh I like this idea Stitchy! Now how to make it happen....

Hello everyone!

A little update from me...

I managed to exceed my target for September I planned on doing three & did the following:-

1. Get a new piercing
2. Watch the sun rise with Rob
3. Watch the sun set with Rob
4. Do something special when visiting place 1 - Well as if watching the sun rise & set in the desert with Rob wasn't special enough, we spent the night in the desert & rode camels there & back! Yay for new experiences.

I also managed to get a few in progress:-

1. Visit at least 3 new places, 2 more to go
2. Add a shot glass to my collection for every new place visited

This month, I aim to complete three again - I have decided to tick off one already:-

1. Learn some basic poledancing moves

I have decided to tick this off because today is the first lesson I will have that's not in the beginner's class

So that leaves me with two more to complete this month, with a bit of luck I will get my blue tag belt as my grading has been confirmed for 31st October now, if I don't pass then I need to do something else pronto!!

Hope everyone else is doing well x

Hi, can I join in?

I've been feeling really low the last few days as I feel like everyone I went to school with is moving on with their lives, getting married, having babies, buying houses etc and I'm pretty much in the same position I was in 10 years ago. The only thing I've gained is a mountain of debt & nothing to show for it!!!

Anyway I'm sick of mopping around and realise that the only person who can change things is me! It won't let me post though on here as I am a new user. If anyone is interested my name on there is determinedtobehappppy

One question tho ~ where can I find out my completion date? I've tried to work it out myself but ended up with 3 different answers!

You guys are all such an inspiration. I feel alot better with myself just writing this list, goodness knows how it willl feel to actually start ticking things off.

Hi determined - cool name by the way - welcome to our happy fold. Good to see you're feeling positive, nothing like some goals to give you a bit of a boost (believe me kids are overrated and mine cause me nothing but worry & stress!)

Your list should altermatically give you your date so I'm a bit confused! I'll have a look in a bit when I've got a bit more time & let you know.

Hi DTBH!

Your list looks really interesting, I love that there is a fellow pole wannabe here Where abouts do you live if you don't mind me asking? Definitely stealing a few of your list items to add to my next one.

Also, sorry to be negative but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to eat the fish you catch in the UK...please check that one out before you do it!

I'm glad you've had your "emotional" LBM - as in you've realised only you can change your life, it's something I wish I'd realised earlier but hey, I have some friends who still haven't cottoned on despite me saying it!

Good luck with your list & keep posting x
