No. 5. Live on my own.

So I won’t quite be achieving this on this year BUT I am moving out of the ‘house of death’ as one former resident calls it and into a lovely little pad with my friend Sarah.

We both realised living alone in Leeds could be pretty pricey, and to be honest I am not that great at being on my own all the time {trust me – I am no good at not talking - I’d end up chatting to myself way too much to still think I was sane!} so we decided to get me out of the house, and her out of her super expensive flat and into a shared place.

As crazy as it might sound to those in the know about my housemates - I am actually going to miss them. I won't miss the mess and the random people they bring home at 4 in the morning or the rudies noises that permeate through the ceiling, but, if nothing else, they keep me {and my work mates} amused with their antics.....

But I am very excited about the new place - we have less than a month before we'll be in there, and i'll have a new space to make my own again.

No. 26 - Take a road trip with Jim

So I have had to adapt this one slightly as I am fast running out of holiday days from work and there are things popping up left right and centre that are eating into them……{and my cash}

Earlier this year the boy found out he is being sent to India to work. He’s off out there in August for a couple of weeks, and maybe again in October for a few months, so the plan was for me to go out for the end of his October trip, and us take a little journey to a few places, but ridiculous the costs of the flights, and my dwindling holidays put paid to that plan.

However we did book some flights over the weekend and we are planning a little road trip for ourselves in September. His sister is getting married at the end of September on the Algarve in Portugal, so instead of us going for a short 3 day break we have booked flights Wednesday – Wednesday, and a car, but not accommodation, so either side of the wedding we can have a little explore of the towns and cities on the coast there.

And the place they are getting married looks absolutely beautiful – it’s a little resort called Olhos de Agua, and the choices for the ceremony all look out on the sea. It’s going to be stunning.

No. 14 - Make a Blurb book

La Rosiere by Oh_gosh | Make Your Own Book

This weekend, what with the being sick and generally not wanting to do a lot, I thought it would be the perfect time to create this blurb book I have been thinking about for a while as a little holiday memory book - It annoys me that I don't have things readily available to print so much any more.

There is a handy new widget available from blurb too that lets you showcase the book here too. Pretty neat hu!

No. 23 {& No. 7}

In an attempt to kickstart me getting back into Yoga I am going to be taking the Bohemian Babe course over at Pop Fizz.

I haven't done a e-course before but the course sounds perfect to fit in with my getting fit for Glastonbury aim too {which has taken a little hit this week as I have been trying to shake some hideous cold that just wont seem to leave me}. The course will give me 3 yoga classes a week, and nutritional advice and finishes on summer solstice, 2 days before we leave for the festival.

I shall let you know how I get on. I have to say I am really looking forwards it.

P.s. Have you seen Pop Fizz before? I hadn't but Rhian of Rhian Caroline introduced me to Nicole's blog last month, and i have been reading back and forwards since.

April

April was night's out. Trips to Manchester. Bit of nature.

4 months down.

I'd like to take more interesting pics next month. That is the plan. Although, it's a cheap month I am planning to have so maybe it might be hard to do?
