Winter Bucket List Recap

The end is nigh...

Winter is coming to a close, and with it I have run out of time to complete my winter bucket list! 

Therefore, it's time for a recap!

1: Try a recipe from my Clean Eating Recipe book!

I did not complete this, at all!

 

2: Run the whole of a 5k (no walking breaks)

Nooope. Didn't happen

3: Post 3 book reviews (1 a month seems achievable!)

Man, I have not done much on this list at all...

4: Plan a trip

YES. I did do this! (1 out of 4 so far...) I have planned my Scotland trip, and Ireland trip. Both are booked! 

5: Lose weight over Christmas and New Years

I maintained my weight over Christmas and new years...nope doesn't count.

6: Have enough saved up to move out

I moved out, so I think this is a tick.

7: Clear out/tidy up the pile of stuff in my room

Yes - I did this when I moved out

8: Dye my hair one last time before the end of December (NYR to come involving this...)

Yes I did this - and I have stuck to my New Years Resolution of not dying my hair ever since...I am beginning to show some roots now

9: Fit back into some of my old clothes

No, did not complete

10: Do something awesome for my birthday

My actual birthday was very low-key, but I did do a couple of things - one of which was going to see Wicked which was pretty awesome, so that is a yes.

Final verdict: 5/10 completed!

All in all, not too bad. I would have liked to done the book reviews and recipe but there we go...there's always spring! 

5 Days and Counting

Move out day is in 5 days. Fiiiive daaaayyyss. I didn't get as much packed as I was expecting to over the weekend (read: nothing packed) so I think it's going to be a long week. To be fair, last night I did sort out my underwear for the week and packed the surplus. So I guess I did do a little bit of packing!

Andrew and I may have fallen in love with a sofa, and I fell head over heels for a little square snuggle chair on saturday. They were in a store called Choice - this is basically a shop that sells Next castoffs at discount prices. This tends to mean that once something is gone, it's not going to be back in stock again. With that in mind, we totally bought them, our first bit of furniture bought together! I can't wait to arrange them in the house and sit on them!!

Now, I know that buying the sofa was a bit pre-emptive. Especially as this is a trial period in the house, however, we would have to buy a sofa at some point anyway soo...why not.

I have a To-Do list of sorts for this week, of all the things I can think of that I need to do before going, and the things I need to pack. Not entirely sure I'll get everything done, but I can give it a go!
