21 things, 21 times in 2021

Good morning all and happy new year, 
Hope everyone had a good night despite the many restrictions. We have 3 grown up children here, so were on drinking games by 7pm  They were lightweights though and had to go for a lie down. DH and I were up until about 1.30am watching Jools Holland.

I'm going to add to my list (in italics) as you've inspired me to think of other things:
1. Watch 21 new to me films - 0/21
2. Read 21 books - 0/21
3. Cook 21 new recipes - meal plan this week includes 1 new recipe - 1/21
4. Drink 21 bottles of water per week - 1/21
5. Make 21 overpayments to main mortgage (need to check this is possible as we're on a fixed rate for 2 more years) 
6. Lose 21lbs - have a starting weight  0/21
7. Run sub 33 minute 5k 21 times 0/21
8. Pamper myself 21 times 0/21
9. 21 NSDs per month - not going out today and no online spending planned - 1/21
10. Make 21 donations to charity - either in person, or sponsoring someone for an event - have sorted some bits to donate but not sure when our charity shops will reopen (tier 4)
11. 21 DIY days - both home and garden
12. 21 foodbank donations
Have a good day all.

Good start on lots of my list! Had a lovely time with my grandbaby feeding the ducks although it was very chilly! Yoga nearly killed me but no surprises there - it's taken me a long time to become this unfit so it's going to take a while to get back to some semblance of normality!! 😂

Weighed myself this morning for my lose 21lb goal - all the healthy goals start today. My husband is competing with me to lose 21lb too so he also weighed himself.

Went for a 1.5hr walk with the kids yesterday then came home, lit the fire pit and we had another 1.5hr in the garden so that’s 3 out of 21 outdoors hours for the kids this fortnight.

I'm having a duvet day today so that's one of my 21 lie-ins covered! 😂 
I've had three glasses of water today too so will hopefully hit my target for water this week if I keep it up 😊

Well done everyone, great progress so far! 

Unfortunately I've been bed ridden since yesterday as I have a bit of a bad tummy bug and something like the flu.
It's not the corona as not displaying those symptoms and I am slowly feeling better. 
So minimal to no progress on a lot of my goals but it's literally only day 2 so not going to worry about not starting the goals yet.
My main goal is to get better for tomorrow and Monday.

Well I saved my first weekly £21, thought a Saturday was a good day.  Means my last payment is xmas day 2021! 
Have got going on 2 out of 21 vegetables at the allotment, garlic and shallots. Managed an hour of housework as well only 20 to go for this month. Plus fixed the paper shredder that’s been broken on the landing since July. Was considering a trip to Argos for a new one, but thought I’d try and mend it to increase my make do and mend totals and avoid one of my 21 purchase being something so mundane. 
Still not found time for my first leisurely bath, perhaps later on after my first Sunday roast out of 21. 
None of my 21 horses to follow have run yet, so money saved should mount up while I wait for my first bets of 2021. Liking the challenge, keeping me on my toes x
