determined_to_be_happppy

Hi everyone :hello:

Well done jennyjewell on growing your nails! I would love to have long nails but they look a mess when long so I have to keep them short
Looks like Novembers going to be a busy month for you orangefairy! good for you!
Glad you enjoyed the comedy show pernicious I've put down going to a comedy club on my list so hopefully I'll get that done one day!





In November I plan to:

• [STRIKE]Complete a jigsaw[/STRIKE] I started one but ended up putting it away as I don't really have the room
• Learn to whistle loudly
• Not swear for one week
• Make a list of 101 things that make me happy
• [STRIKE]Try 3 new foods[/STRIKE] done! (dumpling, kiwi fruit, watermelon)
• [STRIKE]Try a new recipe[/STRIKE] done! even managed 2! (mars bar trifle - delicious but very sickly, clementine glazed ham yum yum)
• Do 3 nice things for others - I'm sure I do nice things for people all the time (I hope) but I seem to forget about them
• Watch 15 films - watched 11!
• [STRIKE]Brush my teeth twice a day[/STRIKE] done!
• Finish the 2 books I am currently reading so I can move on - finished one so far
• [STRIKE]Donate to charity[/STRIKE] - donated twice!!!
• Look in past life regression
• [STRIKE]Send application to uni[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Find out my BMI[/STRIKE]

Looks like I'm going to be busy this month!!!

You guys are so good with your lists & here's me only pledging 3 a month!

Today is D day for me...if I pass my taekwon do grading this evening then I will have completed my three, but if not I'll have failed, wish me luck I think I need it!!!

OrangeFairy

I have had a great day list wise!!!!

I have crossed off 4 things today!!!

Two things finished in October

37 Get a solid oak dining table
99 Don't log into facebook for a week

Then for November.....

OH and I had the day off together today. We went to a garden centre to look at the furniture and then had lunch in their restaurant that MIL and FIL rave abou.t While eating i suddenly realised that was my 5th new restaurant! I am also eating at a new one later in the month but have crossed it off quicker! Then as i was crossing off these three items and looked down my list i realised i have planted flowers in a planter today. Well they were pretty plants but the aim of this task was to brighten up the garden!

So for November

7 go to 5 local restuarants I haven't been to
49 Buy a planter and plant some nice flowers

So i am very pleased with today :j:j:j

Now to find three to do this month, hmm...

well done orange fairy and pernicious on getting things done!

So far this month I have watched 2 films and donated £10 to charity on behalf of my cousin who is doing a charity walk. I also found out my BMI :eek: lets just say it will be a long while before I reached a healthy BMI!!!

Morning guys and gals! I'm up bright and early as my friend, DH and myself are going to cross off #27 today! We are going to Bath for the day and visiting the Museum of Fashion whilst we're there.

I've been told it's not particularly big but it's on the list so I'm going!! I had hoped to go to the V&A in London this weekend, until I found out the cost of the train fares . that one can wait for another day....

Hope you are all forging on with your lists,
stitchy x

Hi guys :wave: my move derailed me for a while there! Just checking out my list & I am nearly at the half way point but have only done 1/3 so I need to step this up if I'm going to get there.

I have now ticked off
89 look at the positives in my life for a month
34 go to 5 local resturants I haven't been to - we went to a new Argentinian on Thirsday which was lovely

Over the next month I intend to:
start going to salsa classes
do a jigsaw puzzle
eat a battered mars bar :undecided
make roman blinds for our kitchen
spend a rainy day in my pjs watching films
have a week when I do not spend any money

ok I think thats all I'll have time for! Keep plugging away at it guys :beer:

I've had a fantastic day today. The Museum of Fashion was inspiring - lots of ideas for my business and Bath is beautiful as always. DH also bought me a book as an early birthday present. It is a pictoral archive of Victorian Fashions which will help with the costume side of the business. All in all a lovely day out and another thing crossed off my list. :j

Hey everyone,

Stitchy I'm so glad you had a lovely day out, I know you were down not so long ago so good to see things are on the up!

I've crossed another item off - "Be front row at a gig" I've also gotten halfway with "See 10 more bands I'd really like to see", I think I'll also be able to cross off "Go to a circus" later on this month so just need to find a third one that's achieveable now...

21% complete :j

stitching_witch

Woohoo, I've just realised I've acheived something quite by accident! We bought an old Rayburn a couple of months ago and have had to remove a couple of kitchen units to fit it in. Needless to say everything housed in those units had to be ruthlessly sorted and I took one box to the charity shop and another to clutter up DD's house so....

#89 De-clutter the kitchen

.......can be ticked off now :j
