Well I’ve got them all onto the one drive on my PC and I’ve uploaded them all to flickr… but that’s just the problem. ALL of them onto flickr. None of them are tagged koz I just can’t be arsed… there were 600 photo’s of the holiday in Spain last year!! I think I need to go through and remove all the rubbish ones and just upload the good ones to flickr. Online storage for a backup is – I think – the way to go. I’m not even going to think about my printed photos just yet. They can stay on top of the wardrobe until I move house again :-)

the will power to do this. I’ve had a weekly reminder in my inbox since August last year and I just can’t get to it. I start something then it falls to the wayside. Just as I start to lose weight and feel better about myself I start eating crap and missing gym sessions and just end up pback at square one. Feeling thoroughly demotivated with this at the moment so I think I might just give in and start with something a little more manageable. I’ve never quit on anything in my life but I think I might just have to call it a day… I was thinking about joining a martial arts class or something a little different to try and get me back into it – pre season training should be starting soon for next season’s rugby league but I doubt even that will get me off my ass and out there pounding the streets!!

HELP!! :-(

I’ve wanted a tattoo for a while – actually about 7 years I think since one of my friends got one when we were 16… BUT I really want something that means something to me so I’ve not yet done anything about it.

Anyone got any suggestions for how they picked their tatt’s?

Also I can’t decide where I want it but then I think that depends on what it is too to be honest so not even thinking about that just now.

It’s quite demoralising having nothing in your life that is so important to you that you would like to dedicate with a tattoo! :-(

I decided I was going to start this on my 24th birthday so that I can record one thing which made me happy each day in my 25th year… Should be fun!

Starting 20th July (which is a shame because I’ll be doing the Jacobite steam train over the glenfinnan viaduct the week before it so it won’t count… printing out photo’s from it will though ;-) )!!

ish…

Well the third attempt (for my niece’s first communion party) wasn’t too lucky but it did get me some tips from Auntie Mo. Namingly ignore the recipes you get on the internet because they are all crap – and it’s true! Following the majority of the recipes out there on the net won’t get you anything like authentic tablet.

The one I found closest to Auntie Mo’s recipe was one on Yahoo answers which I can’t find again but it is now in my head so it’s all good.

Fourth batch was really good even if I do say so myself although it disappeared so quickly I did’t get a chance to take any to Auntie Mo to get her critique so I guess I’ll just have to make another batch…

travesty!!

And have the ability to take AMAZING photo’s that catch people when they’re unaware but are stunning – you know the type I mean…

Ah dreams.

Well at least I might own the camera one day even if I can’t do anything impressive with it ;-)

I’ve only tried making tablet twice and both times have been this year.

The first attempt was rather impressive and had me wondering what all the fuss was about. The second attempt however was nothing short of disasterous so now I’m thinking that the first batch was a complete fluke!!

It is now my mission to be able to make tablet like my Granny and Auntie Maureen would – much to the delight of my guinnea pigs… sorry family and workmates!

Anyone looking for tips I’d recommend this one it’s the one I used both times and is very comprehensive.

Always goes down a storm at bake sales etc (I can confidently say this because it’s usually me there buying it all!) but not too well at the dentists!!

If you can – do it! Renting sucks, I lived in the same house for 23 years, rented for a year and couldn’t cope with it anymore!! Now own a wee flat in Edinburgh with the best man in the world and our wee doggy and I honestly couldn’t be happier!!! WOOHOO!

OK so about 6 weeks ago I actually started going to the gym regularly and it felt great once I felt and saw it making a difference, now is the hard part for me because now that I can see it working I find it difficult to keep going. So to try and avoid the usual 6 week lull I have decided to change tactics and went for a run instead of going to the gym – variety being the spice of life and all that…

So all in all I’m getting there, slowly!!

I contemplated the fat unfit photo on the mirror tack but that’s just too negative for me so instead I have a photo from when I was rather fit and training all the time as my aspiration to look and feel that good again… I just hope I can keep up the motivation!!

I’m not so sure…

OK so I managed a wee 15 minute jog round the park up the road from my flat and back. Didn’t feel like much at the time but I was certainly feeling it in my legs today!! Quite enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone who feels like a bit of fresh air!! Keeping it on my list though until it doesn’t feel like a challenge to get my ass out there…

OK so I’ve been roped into running a 5k in June. It’s now March – that might seem like ages to get prepared and fit and stuff but quite honestly the thought terrifies my very being!! So I decided this morning that I’m going to work up to it 1k a month (yes there are only 4 months… not sure how that’s going to work yet!). I’ve been going to the gym and stuff but this morning I think I might actually brave the big bad outdoors and go for a run along the street and back, about 1 – 2k me thinks… will let you know how it goes!!

Well working on a website each day which advertises the services of two such major branded cards just makes you want one. It’s the feeling that comes along with being able to afford the 50% AER that comes with it or the £250 fee just for the privelidge…

I will have one someday… it may be 10 years down the line but I will have one. Would like to have one before I’m 35 – that gives me 11 years…

OK so German would be my language of choice but there are so many (javascript, java, japanese, french, gaelic etc etc)... you gotta start somewhere I suppose!!

Want to get an internship at google in Germany and you should really be near fluent in the language to do so and that’s my motivation!!

Here goes…

OK so currently I work with websites however I’m only half way through my degree and want to get something decent out of my placement so want to start learning .Net… anyone got any suggestions for starting out??

Feeling inspired by the fact that I have to wear a bikini in about 4 weeks time.

Said bikini is a 12 and I am currently somewhere about a 14 (UK size) and it’s not an attractive site – let me tell you!

So have been eating healthily and going to the gym in the morning before work (V chuffed with that!) until this weekend when we had the family round and it all went a bit pear shaped…

Back to it in the morning tho… Spain and bikini’s here I come!!!
