How I did it
How to buy a teapot
It took me
300 days
It made me
Feel grown up!

How I did it: After I finished everything on my to-do list circa 1999, the first thing I thought of for a new list was...to buy a teapot.  I've never had one - partly because I didn't start drinking tea until I reached my 30s.I saw 'the' teapot for me at a department store.  Everytime I went in, I would look for my teapot on the shelf and it was always there.  The other day there was 15% off and when I mentioned to my Dad that my teapot … Read how I did it…

How to dress up more often
It took me
708 days
It made me
smile

How I did it: Earlier this summer, when the ex wasn't the ex, he told me he'd prefer not to see what was behind behind the mirrored doors of my wardrobe.  It's contents were a mystery and he wanted to keep it that way.  I liked the way he said it because that's how I have started to look at it - a huge dressing up box!I developed a knack at an early age when buying new clothes that they would miraculously compliment clothes I had already… Read how I did it…

How to frame a piece of my artwork
It took me
108 days
It made me
Proud

How I did it: I was invited to submit a piece of my artwork from the community art class I attended for an exhibition.  There are a couple of pieces that I am proud of doing.The piece I chose to submit was my favourite and it epitomises my experience of going to the art class.  I sat down one monday night not sure of what to draw but found inspiration from a picture of a frog and I sat there for the next two hours and thoroughly enjoyed mysel… Read how I did it…

visit the furthest northern part of Scotland
Furthest so far... 8 hours ago

I visited Aberdeen for the first time today. I was up at the crack of dawn for the 05:45 train. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much of a view for a while as it was still dark but I got so excited when it was light and I saw the sea!

I’ve been trying to work out if Aberdeen was further north than Inverness and from the map it looks like Inverness is the winner. Having celebrated my birthday there last year, that is the furthest I’ve been so far.

clear my windowsill of junk (read all 2 entries…)
Part two 1 week ago

I’m getting round to painting another section of my bay window. So far today, I’ve taken off the old blind, cleaned the window, washed and painted the wood.

Now I’m waiting until tomorrow for it to be dry and then will put up the new blind. I reckon that’s me halfway there :)

do all my ironing on a Sunday (read all 2 entries…)
Getting into good habits 2 weeks ago

I’ve rediscovered my good intentions from earlier in the year and have now had all my ironing done ready for the new week for the last 4 Sundays.

I think I’ll need to keep it up for a tad longer – maybe two months of Sundays – until I can tick it off the list.
