List!

Goodness me! It's been a while. Few things have happened, I'll go through the list in order of bits and pieces I've done!

• Make £250/£400 on Ebay (#04/#05) - I've been selling a few more things and I'm now at £148.75!
• I also bought a 1980s snakeskin bag from a vintage store today, making #06 02/20
• Stretched my lobes to 8mm, ALMOST AT THE GOAL! (#20)
• I was tattooed today also, starting on task #31. I'm already itching to get more
• Jack's Mannequin played Glasgow on the 31st of August, I was there to see it. Amazinggg. Taking #36 to 02/30
• Russian class started this week too, I enjoyed the first lesson. (#47)
• I also recently watched District 9, World Trade Center and United 93 (there was a recent theme on tv... as you can see) so #56 is at 21/50! Almost half way.
• A friend of mine is currently in Iraq so I sent a large parcel to them the other week, bringing #72 to 02/10.
• Guess what I did yesterday? I WENT SWIMMING. First time in 11 years. Completing #88! Awesome.

So I have managed to do some bits :]

I'm currently suffering from a kidney infection (yey D:) so I've not been able to do much but here's what I've done lately -

• Applied for a Russian Language course - Start Sept 7th (#47)
• Continued with 365 days photo task (as seen above)
• Purchased a swimsuit. Half way to #88
• Purchased a piece of Vintage jewellery (#06) which is pictured below. HOW CUTE?!

I've started 365 days photo task on Flickr (#55). I'll try post my new photo every day so beware!

Marc Jacobs watch, here I come!

Received my vouchers today (#65)! Deeelish. Also been watching a few movies recently taking task #56 to the grand total of... 18. Haha.

14 - Click
15 - The Hangover
16 - Rolemodels
17 - Changeling
18 - Sex Drive

I liked all the movies, Click would have been better if it was another actor as the main character. Rolemodels was simply "okay" the others were good though!

I also watched another documentary (#63), "The man who predicted 9/11" which makes it 6/10. Not far to go!

Whew!

I've completed two more tasks!! First up, #65 Win a competition. Yep! I won £200 worth of House of Fraser vouchers, exciting! I cant decide what I want to buy though. I need a watch and I really like the look of some Marc Jacobs watches but we'll see! I'm going to attack the site and find the best things I can get! Yey.

I also took someone up on an offer I'd normally decline (#59), I was asked by a friend to enter Miss BBW UK 2010. It's like a pageant for big girls. I'll quote the site in a moment, but this is something I'd never even consider. I was given a push and asked a few people whether they thought it was a good idea and they all agreed it'd be good for me so, I'm waiting on the application form and I'm attending the first heat in November!

The criteria for entry is that you must be age 18 or over and a size 20 or above, you must also be willing to appear in the media, as the winner will be required to be the spokesperson for bbw’s in the UK, appear in magazine and newspaper articles, photo shoots, making personal appearances and other assignments from June 2010 – June 2011. The winner may also be required to travel if required to do so by sponsors of the competition and this may involve overseas travel and assignments, a truly exciting challenge!

I've also been watching documentaries to bring #63 upto 4/10. I've been using 4od & Iplayer, I highly recommend both! The documentaries I watched were "Ninety naps a day", "Tears, Tiaras and Transexuals" & "Virgin School". The last one was rather creepy though, I admit.

Another one down!

I have completed task 61! I completed it on the 18th ofcourse but I just haven't updated. I also added one more to #01 & #53. I've started task 62 aswell. I think this one will be the one I struggle with most as I do not usually eat breakfast but I'm actually enjoying weetabix at the moment so I'm hoping to get a month completed! I started this on the 20th of July.

Not much else to update on. I'm needing to start some more of the tasks I have on my list. Argh!

20/100

I'm attempting to add more to #14. I also had a date this weekend (#91) but it was ruined by a backhanded compliment. Still, 2 down. For #14 I'm updating it 10 at a time. I've crossed one out as it doesnt matter anymore so I'll add another to make up for it at the end.

100 things that make me happy (work in progress)
001. The "new text" symbol on my phone.
002. Crisp white bedding and feather pillows.
003. Freshly waxed legs.
004. Handwritten letters.
005. Being able to see the stars.
006. Music being played really loud through headphones.
007. Seeing a certain someone <3
008. Summer rain.
009. The sound of a tattoo gun.
010. Rocky Horror Picture Show.
011. Winston (our youngest dog) meeting me at the bottom of my stairs in the morning.
012. Having two seats to myself on the train.
013. Unexpected phone calls from friends.
014. Compliments (come on, who doesnt like them?!)
015. Good skin days.
016. Wearing heels.
017. Disney movies.
018. Guessing what song is coming on next & getting it right.
019. Stretching my lobes.
020. The Amelie soundtrack.

Clouds crash

I've been distant once again. I watched Ice Age 3 the other day, taking #56 to 13/50. I've booked tickets / hotel for a gig in August. I'd like to go to more but I'm really quite annoyed with supposed friends at the moment and have no one to go with. But I DEFINATELY will go to this one. I need to.
I've made some effort with #15 and have been convinced that I can infact class someone as a friend now. I'm really struggling to realise what a friend is so this task will be rather difficult due to not knowing the "levels" of friendship, if that.

I really really do need to go through my list and get some more sorted. Possible date tomorrow. I need to get some courage but it'll help towards #91 so I could use that as an excuse to push me onto the train ;)

One more in progress!

Task #91 (go on ten dates) is now in progress. I had a date yesterday, it was rather last minute. We were planning on seeing eachother next Saturday but he called yesterday morning and asked to see him in 2hours. It was a rush but also successful. Well actually, what would one class as a successful date? We didnt flee. Both into each other, there wasn't any awkward silences either. I'd class that as a success.

Still carrying on with #61. 9 days so far!!

Wonky few weeks

I've been failing completely lately. I've been dealing with a lot and I've been feeling a bit wonky since. I attempted #82 - Say "I love you" & hear it back, but I was rejected and after 2years of knowing the person and being lied to / lead on, I decided to cut off contact. I'm not going to class this as a failed task because it's something I can try again, but because of this whole situation I've been quite a sad panda and attempted a few other tasks while I was visiting a friend but didn't manage. I was supposed to be seeing a band on Tuesday, a band I've been very excited about seeing but my confidence has been knocked so I'm not going. Task #36 is going to be a struggle.

I have made money from the tickets I initially had to go to the gig so #04/#05 are getting closer to the targets! Yey! I'm also not drinking fizzy drinks (#61). I'd not drank any for about a week but on Thursday I slipped up and had a diet coke with my Jack Daniels (What else could I mix it with?) so I'm counting from Friday. Fingers crossed I manage 30 days! It'll be Saturday the 18th of July after 30 days I think. I'll try keep updating though.

I've been ordered to update!

As the title says. I've been asked to update, I didn't realise people read this! I thank you for the reminder though, Kit! I've not been upto much unfortunately. I'll update anyhoo. I recently saw "Up". I highly recommend it! It's such a sweet story and there were a few times I got a little teary. This takes #56 to 12/50! Recommend some more movies for me. 38 to go!

I also bought another scratch card (#07), I didn't win otherwise I would've managed to complete "Stay in a 5 star hotel" and pretty much MOST of the travel section of my list! My Ebay total keeps increasing too (#04, #05), I'm just as quickly spending it but the fact I managed to MAKE it is what counts haha.

I'm having some problems with #15 - Make 20 new friends, as I'm not sure what one would class as "friendship". Does anyone have any definition I should go off? Talk more than _____ a week? Just the two of us being able to hang out? I'm really not sure. Stupid me! Making a task I'm not sure whether I've partially completed.

Later today I'm going to try and update again, get some tasks completed. Only at 7/101! 880 days to go!

I am a Gentleman.

I had a movie day recently. I watched, "The Tale of Despereaux" which was actually lovely. I also watched Igor, which I enjoyed too! I'm obviously a child at heart, loving animated movies.

I'll let you sew buttons in my eyes.

I watched Coraline yesterday, I really enjoyed it. I'm not usually a big fan of obvious fantasy but this was awesome :) I was wary about it as the last Tim Burton film I watched (Corpse Bride) was damn awful. Oh! Sweeney Todd too, Just horrible. So I was a little worried this would disappoint but no! Highly recommended.

I also watched "The Knowing" but that just doesnt deserve it's own entry.

Two more down for #56

Stressypants!

I've failed at updating lately as I've been busy BUT I'm going through my list now and trying to sort out what I can do even though things are hectic.

MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS STILL NEEDED! :]

I'm a lady!

Today I had a manicure. Well actually, I had acrylics put on and then a manicure as I'm a biter. Or rather, was. I was a biter. I'm gonna try keep length! That means I've completed #18. 7/101!

My name is Charlotte Gray

I watched Charlotte Gray the other night. It was quite good, though the fact they were supposed to be French bugged me. They had French accents but didnt speak French in the movie and it definately annoyed me while I was watching but otherwise it was a good movie.

Slice me.

I am a donor! That means I've completed #23!! Stoked. I also went out to lunch with my mother twice since my last update, and paid both times. That means #77 is half way to being completed. I got my course materials for the Astronomy course I'm starting this month (#45) and I'm currently looking at gigs coming up in the next few months to try and get a few more for #36.

Inside I'm dancing

Making my way through #56! I watched "Inside I'm Dancing", which is also known as "Rory O'Shea was here" the other day and it was awesome. I highly recommend it. Definately inspiring.

5 down!

I have quite a lot to update on!! Been super busy with my Granda still so there's more I could be doing but haven't had time. With the stress of the hospital we've been eating out a lot more and I buy lunch one time for family (#77). I did purchase myself a laptop though (#09) and went to a gig last week (#36) which was awesome. While at the gig I approached a nice man and got talking which eventually gave me the courage to ask for his number. Number #86 completed! I've also applied for a course which starts on the 16th of May so I'll be working my way through #45.

I've watched a documentary, "Mega-Tsunami - Wave of destruction" and actually quite enjoyed it. Just need a few more to complete #63.

This means I've completed 5 tasks and I'm currently working on 19! Slowly getting there.
