quiddities

How I did it: There are various sites and groups set up to help with this.  Some take a percentage and are a total scam as you can do it for free yourself - it only takes one letter.The site I used to help me was moneysavingexpert.comWhilst it took me forever to actually get around to writing the letter, it only took 3 weeks from when the letter was sent to getting a result.

How I did it: Had a massive clear out.  I had two rooms worth of stuff from when I was at Uni and had a room both home and away.  Plus, I'm a bit of a hoarder, keeping things 'just in case'.My main method was tidy, sort, find something I didn't need and/or want and then send out a group text message to my friends with a 'first come first served' policy.  I decided offer things to my friends first before trying to sell them as over recent… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I've always got a basic CV somewhere, or at least the info but I haven't update it for aaaages so I thought I'd better get around to it especially seeing as I want to get a new job.I searched on-line for different CV templates and recommendation.  I ended up making two CV's which I have maturely named 'the boring one' and 'the poncy one'.  I also have the basic information saved separately.There are parts on each that can be tai… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Organised a trip with the girls.  Amazing how much work is required, so much for effortlessly gliding along!  Had fun though.  Like to get lessons or at least go again and cling to the sides a bit more! Read how I did it…

How I did it: This book was suggested to me by my doctor as I was suffering panic attacks and I'm maxed out on my meds so he couldn't give me any more.It took me ages to read because I was avoiding it.  Once I picked it up it took a few days.It was, weellll... It had some interesting points.  Provided food for thought but most of it was... special?  I found it hard to relate to the case studies.  Whilst I may have mocked it, it did … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I found out about Postcrossing by looking at other peoples goals.  It caught my interest - I LOVE getting post, so I googled it to find the site.  Once there I read the terms and FAQ, and deciding I was happy with how things worked and who would have access to my details I filled in my details and shall be toddling off to the post office shortly!

How I did it: I moved 10 months ago.  My room was never tidy from day one as I had down scaled on a massive scale.  Generally I did this in fits and burst but the last bit was done in one big push.  My room is now de-cluttered but there are several bags outside it waiting to be ebayed but it's no longer in my room so it doesn't count!

How I did it: I decided to learn more about political parties when after the General Election was announced I realised that I knew nothing about who I was voting for.  All I had was the overall impression that all politicians were the same and all you were doing was voting for the same party over and over because you always have.  But supporting a political party isn't like supporting a football team, you shouldn't just pick one because of a … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I got my quotes from a variety of sources.  I added them as and when I came across them as well as occasionally having mini quote hunting sessions online. Read how I did it…

How I did it: The biggest challenge was finding a dentist I liked.  Well, that was pretty simple, it was getting through the door but once that hurdle was overcome (mother dragging me in) it was relatively plain sailing. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well, there were several attempts to donate blood in order to find out my blood type.  And yeah, that was my main motivation though I do intend to donate blood for purely charitable reasons my nosiness has been satisfied!  However, I finally found out my blood type when mum came across some documents from when I was a baby when we were packing to move house.

How I did it: Well, first there was gathering of courage as I loved my long-long hair but it was getting a mess and reality demanded that I sort it out.  Once I had made my mind up that i WOULD get my hair cut I talked to my friends and asked advice and opinions so I knew what I wanted rather than just letting a scissor happy hairdresser get hold of me and not being happy with the result.  It just so happens that I work with a trained scissor… Read how I did it…
