well i did one better than baa, baa black sheep and actually took 4 bags of clothes to the charity shop. i’d been hording for years but what’s really bad is that i still have more clothes to get rid of. it’ll just have to stay on my ‘to do’ list for sometime in the next month or so.
this time for sure! i stopped smoking for 2 months in september with the help of alan carr but didn’t stick to it… stopping again on january 5th (back to work then and will have finished all my NY partying). thus time, i’m sticking to it!
i’ve pretty much stopped cooking again. all i’m making these days is poached eggs on toast. hardly inspiring! need to get back to making good, healthy meals. first meal will have to be sunday. lets see how it goes…
so i’m finally saving for the first time in my life! (well, except for when i moved to this side of the world – but that was only coz my boyfriend at the time made me…) it’s only month 2 and it’s going to be a slow process of saving but fingers crossed i’ll get enough cash together to go home soon. i’m aiming for pre-may 2009 so that’ll give me a bit of time anyways.
so i’m paying off my student loan on a regular basis now. which should be a good thing but unfortunately i’m only covering the interest… maybe i should just declare myself bankrupt!
I smoked 5 cigarettes yesterday. Sober. Not good. What happened to only smoking when I drink??? The evil tobacco has got its hold on me. But I will resist! Starting today…
I wore a pair of shoes with a kitten heel on Friday night and my feet are still killing me on Monday morning! How will I ever work my way up to a gorgeous stilletto if I can’t even handle the tiniest of heels??? Must keep practising…
My boyfriend and I have booked Budapest for the 28th December – 2nd January. I can’t wait! It looks like a gorgeous city to see in the New Year. Yay!
I have finally booked my theory test for December 5th. Now I just have to pass it and then get on the road pronto to practice my driving. Which is still terrible, unfortunately…
at the tender age of 28 (ha!) i started smoking. i’m so embarrassed of myself because i used to think adults who started smoking were crazy. anyway, after 3 months i’m putting a stop to it. it’s been 2 days now and i’m fine (i decided to chain smoke myself sick on sunday night so that i’d be put off, which has worked) but i’m worried about going out and drinking because that’s when i really have to have a cigarette. i’m heading out tomorrow night, so that will be the first hurdle… hit me baby!
so i paid off my first installment – yee ha! so proud of me. unfortunately i didn’t pay off any extra on top of my actual payment, but i will try better next time…
i was given season 6 the other day – so stoked! i have been very restrained and only watched 2 episodes so far – but then again that probably says more about how often i’ve been going out… i’m just heading home now to watch episode 3 and eat a whole load of junk food. oh happy days!
i was sick all weekend and was bored of watching rubbish tv so totally sorted through all the piles of clutter in my room. the best part was that i found a €120 spa voucher and a €40 clothing voucher that i had ‘lost’. now it’s time to treat myself! now if i can just keep going with this tidy buzz it’ll be great…
a couple that i’m good friends with are going on a year-long trip, and while we live in different countries (they’re in the uk and i’m in ireland) i still get to see them quite regularly, so i’m really going to miss popping over to visit them. anyway, along their travels they’re going to india next year so we’ve sorted out a plan to meet there. i’m so excited! not only will i get to catch up with them, i’ll also get to go to a country that is so amazing it defies definition and that i’ve wanted to visit for years. now i just need to start saving…
dropped another 3 films off at the pharmacy yesterday. now i just have to find the dosh to pay for them on pick-up!
i went for a run this morning! it was only ten mins (all my body could muster) but i powerwalked for twenty mins after. yee ha! and the best thing wasn’t the running (of course) but being up early when hardly anyone is around and seeing the early morning sun over the sea. (just after i finished, the sun disappeared and the clouds came over and it began to rain, thanks ireland…). i loved it though and am going to do this again and again and again and again and again…
so at least 2 books a month should be achievable. SHOULD. anyway, i got off to a great start with august by reading ‘the jane austen book club’ by karen joy fowler and ‘extremely loud and incredibly close’ by jonathan safran foer – which is amazing. so 2 down and august isn’t even over yet! (better than last year’s effort which i think was 2 all year – thanks to moving to ireland, the land of pubs…)
i’ve got about 20 films that need developing and some of them date back to 2003… i know that most of them probably won’t even come out properly but i’m still curious to know what the heck is on them! anyway, i dropped 2 films in last week and they weren’t the best. both were from drunken weekends though so at least that’s kinda excusable. 2 down, 20 something to go…
