Well done!! That's brilliant news littlekel.

Just don't leave collecting the dress to the last minute. I went to collect mine at 5.05pm on the day before my wedding and the shop shut at 5.00.:eek:

Luckily the wedding was at 12.00 so I was outside the shop at opening time, in between the hairdressers appointment and the florist's delivery.

I left mine in store at the dress shop as I lived in an old cottage and was worried about damp.

Just before the wedding, the shop went bust, and the owners did a runner with all the stock :eek:

Cue a number of tearful and very angry brides on the hunt for their dresses! Amazingly, my Dad managed to track them down (this was in the days long before internet etc, so how he managed to do it, I will never know!) and I managed to retrieve my dress in time.

20 years later, and it still takes up space in my wardrobe. Now that my husband has left me, perhaps I should include doing something with it as one of my 101 things!

Is it anything you can tell us about Different_Corner?

Oh Yes Stitchy !
Emailed SIL, long chatty email with pics.
Sorted shoe rack and took down an old cupboard in utility room.

All pretty boring things but stuff that I have been procrastinating about. Sort of clogging up my mind.

Onwards

Just a quick post to update you all. I have completed 10 tasks and have 23 in progress. That's not really enough when you consider I started on 1st January so have only 774 days left on the clock!

I must get on, I must get on.....

The few of my things that I'm working on just now are taking longer than I want them to! Gosh, I'm impatient :rotfl: - reading Sense and Sensibility and knitting a blanket!

I've written a list of Crimbo pressies I'm going to make.

Also thinking about my blog - thinking about a yoga one but kinda out of practice Might start when I sign up for my yoga teacher training so I can look back on my yogic journey

Ah well, best get off and knit a few more rows of this blanket!

hey everyone :wave: working on #87 currently - iving up alcohol for 1 month. Started on Satrday, so its early days. just been out for dinner with a friend and I wasn't even tempted so so far so good but to be fair I'mk kinda feeling like i don't like drinking anymore so its not really a hardship :rotfl:just trying it out for a bit to see if its for me

I'm finding it harder to do the tasks which are ongoing - eg try a new recipe every month. The one-offs are easier as I don't have to remember to KEEP doing them.

I don't think I'll add "give up alcohol for a month" to my next list though. DH makes fabulous home made wine which usually lasts all year so we don't even get a lean month when I could cheat.

I think this is one of the things I'm going to find challenging, not necessary the doing but the remembering to do. Time to brush up on my planning & time management skills.
