Getting a Grip on 2013

Kepp

Love the tattoo idea Birdie Had no idea that you couldn't get tattooed while pregnant though, so much I don't know!

I have flowers on my right hip onto my stomach, they then go round to my back and I have a humming bird flying up to them on my side bum (for want of a better word! ) that then carries on round the bottom of my back to about halfway up with flowers and butterflies and lady-bugs, on the bottom left of my back I have a manga type big eyed fairy peeping out from behind the flowers. It then carries on round to the left where it goes into a waterfall which goes right down my left leg to a another fairy sat in the spray at the bottom, just above my ankle. It's all very colourful. And then of course my two tiny butterflies on my hand!

Quite hard to describe - I'm sure it's visible in a few photos on FB though. I like the fact that in shorts, bikini etc it can be seen but is easily covered when I don't want it to be.

Thanks for the offer Cinny Will have a think tonight and then let you know some challengey type thoughts tomorrow.

*Off for a FB stalk of Beccie* That all sounds super cool, I'm going to be that weird person looking for bikini photos of you now, how strange is that?!

Re: the pregnant thing. AFAIK it's not totally off-limits, but strongly recommended to avoid doing it for health reasons since you're susceptible to fainting etc whilst preggo and you're so much more sensitive to everything.

Wahay for the shout-out Cinny! :T

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm now stalking myself on FB, wondering how fat I look in my bikini pictures now I know that someone is looking at them! :o:o

ETA: There's actually only a couple of bikini ones on there, but plenty of shorts.

ETA Again: How weird does this conversation sound???? :rotfl:

Your tattoo sounds amazing, Beccie!! My Sister has hummingbirds (for California) and flowers across her side and stomach. When I started reading it I was thinking "Is Beccie my Sister?!" then the tattoo continued, I remembered she's called Laura, not Beccie, and has "only" had 20 or so hours of work done. *ahem*

Feeling like a rotten rotter today! I think I've caught the bug that's going around, feeling light headed and just a little bit like I'm about to re-visit yesterdays pancakes any second now. Ugh Also super nervous for OH, it's the meeting today. At 10am. But he said he'll let me know what's happened at about 1pm. Keeping the whole world crossed! The company seems like a great one though, so it will be nice for him to be working with nice people!

Went shopping yesterday. Without a list. And to a new supermarket. :eek: Spent £72, but that did include a new frying pan and the freezers, fridge and cupboards are all full again. Think we'll get away with top up shops until March now. Might have accidentally bought lots of sweeties and chocolates and mini eggs.. guess who's not giving anything up for lent?! Waiting to get my wages from Job No 2, then I'll be able to update all the accounts. Going to do some maths too to set a goal for getting this £700 saved, because once that's done we only need £300 more and we're set for all our car bills etc :T

Finish work at 1pm today, and I plan to grab Ryder an go out for a massive walk all afternoon Hope everyone has a nice day!

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for your OH Cinny!

Everything crossed here too for your OH Cinny

Hope you feel better soon

The sister comment made me laugh!

I have come up with a challenge after we said the other day - The Epic To-Do List. The challenge scares me.

I was reading about a journalist who on his birthday decided he needed to get on and do stuff so he made a to-do list of everything he needed to do and gave himself to his next birthday to do it. I had a look on the Amazon preview and there was 1,200 plus things on there, from cleaning the microwave to being nicer to his wife. I didn't buy the book as the reviews said it was only average but the idea got me thinking.

I procrastinate to a ridciulous point and it's only getting worse So that combined with Cinny's idea of 'gripping 2013' made me think. Mine will be a combination of getting it done in 2013 and by my 30th birthday (It's my 29th in April).

How awesome to turn 30 knowing I finally did everthing! 93 things on there so far and counting.....

Sorry, what a waffle, sorry for taking over your diary Cinny

How did your OH's meeting go?

Birdie85

Yes Cinny, you're keeping us hanging here for news of your OH!

Sounds like a good plan Beccie! Tete did something similar in the lead up to her 30th, think it was 30 things to do by 30. Are you on Day Zero? That's a good way to track your progress and get ideas for things to add to your list (although I've been pretty bad at doing anything on my list for ages!).

Another one here stalking Cinny for news

The to do list sounds really interesting Beccie. I found my Day Zero list really helped me to focus and get on when I first did it, but I feel that some of the stuff isn't as relevant any more. On the other hand, I can't bring myself to remove anything I haven'y actually achieved if you know what I mean, it goes against The Law Of The List! Might go and review it (aka procrastinate a little more!)
