    Happy New Year!!!!

    We had a fab time went to a friends to play Rock Band it was awesome. It was great to see the New Year in with my OH as it is out first one. When we switched the TV for the bells we saw Edinburgh. I got quite emotional :o

    Anyway I just come back from OHs and am now writing my Resolutions

    My achievements last year were
    Completed a Half Marathon
    Completed a 10km in under an hour
    Became a Calender girl
    Went to the Download Festival
    Paid off my loan
    Saved £1300 towards Edinbrugh
    My 30th Birthday party.

    So my goals for 2012 is

    Complete Half Marathon is under 2 hours
    Complete a Marathon
    Move to Edinburgh
    Find my Rock Band
    Go to a Festival Sonisphere or Download depending on line up
    Go and see a KISS or Metallica gig (Metallica is playing Download)
    Save to go to New York
    Get my musicians page on FB and Myspace!

    That seems a lot but 2012 is gonna kick a**!

    Ok I have many things that need to be improved this year:

    Cut down on chocolate (I have become pretty dependent this year)
    Play my Bass and sing everyday
    Write everyday
    Use everything in my cupboards (food wise)
    Use up all surplus cosmetics
    Drink more water
    Complete CV

    On the plus side I have been looking into buying New Rocks which is money that has been given to me for Xmas :D

    Hi all!

    Day off today so I headed into the shops but had a LSD I brought lunch coffee and not much else. I nearly stuff today but thought how it would fit into my very small room and it didnt go down to well. I am quite pleased with myself. I went into the Body Shop to see the sale but ended up reminding my self I brought a gift set last year and only used the shower gel so I walked out the shop :D

    I am hoping to play my guitar tonight after dinner and then get some singing and writing done. I have written today which isnt bad.

    On the New Rocks front (boots) a friend on FB has a wholesale account with New Rocks and has offered them at cost price but the sites not working atm so I'll look at them tomorrow! Its means I get more for my Xmas money :)

    Its not been a bad day its quite wet and slightly windy out but I think I will relax before I go back to work tomorrow x

    Iphone ordered....lets hope I get accepted this time :)
  • I played my Bass last time first in more than a month. It felt good but I need to work on technique. I did my weeks shop somehow it came to £12 which includes lunches and 2 meals. My next step hopefully tonight will be when I list everything in my food cupboard and maybe have a featured "item" each week to use up!

    Today was full of good news and surprises, found out a friend got engaged on Christmas Day :D.

    I paid £307.67 into my ISA today then saw my bank account balance and was shocked.

    Good job I had a NSD, hopefully it will be one tomorrow if OH pays for dinner ;) which he should as I cooked the other night.

    Got an email back from my contact lens supplier if the solution is removed I'll pay £12 instead of £15 so a small saving in March. I have make the 5 bottles in the cupboard last six months :cool:

    Tonight I hope to play my bass and list everything in that food cupboard I might even do the freezer :eek:
