How I did it
How to put together my table & chair from ikea
It took me
8 months
It made me
feel accomplished.

How I did it: On a whim I bought a table and chair during an Ikea shopping trip and ... kept them in the flat packs for eight months. Sheer laziness! Added it as a goal on my 43things list, hoping that would inspire me to actually put them together ... but it took me a while. Then one sunny Friday afternoon, I lamented to my sister Vanessa that I had nothing to do, and she suggested this goal to me. So we chucked on a cd (ahem Manic Street Preachers, J… Read how I did it…

How to update my resume
It took me
1 day
It made me
feel confident

How I did it: I read a great article about how to write a great resume and implemented some ideas I'd taken from it. I found a few jobs worth applying for which my current work experience was relevant to, looked up some sample resumes of others in the field and rewrote and reshaped my entire resume using these examples.

  • reading on the bus and before work.
  • discovered that we have a fan at work, which made the heat tolerable and I didn’t realize how hot it was until I stepped outside once I’d finished. Phew. Treated myself to some scoops of ice-cream from the ice-cream parlour, jaffa ice-cream hell yes.
  • sitting, knitting and watching television with Mum.

  • a day spent with Vanessa. We went to the National Gallery planning to visit the Jane Austen fashion exhibition, but also decided to have a look around at their European art collection. The 17th and 18th century collection was … breathtaking. I haven’t been to an art gallery since I was about 12 (I know, philistine!) and it was an amazing experience. I can’t wait to go again. I could easily spend a whole day in front of some of the paintings.
  • Lord of the Fries for lunch! and a quick visit to the book market.
  • a late evening walk with Dad and Moscow. Despite the darkness and not being able to see where I was walking and all sorts of creepy crawlies climbing down my shirt. Before sunset it was lovely.
