I am a list lover, so it seems apt that my second blog post (2 months later..eeep) is about another list! I’m a lover of clutter, tat and a hoarder to boot. This paired with some dark days over the last few years has meant I have accumulated a lot of shite. Last year I made some excellent strides into sorting through stuff. I did carboots, charitable donations and tip runs (one on Christmas eve, dedication or what.)

Lots of stuff is going to happen this year, so I want to make sure my home is sorted so that it’s easy to maintain whatever my mood! Below is January’s list!

 

 

• Get rid of sofa bed
• get rid of white couch
• get rid of fridge
• get rid of freezer
• take down Xmas Decorations
• Put 10 or more items in carboot bag
• clear 1 bag of rubbish
• Get a house mate!
• get rid of Toad (my car)
• Convert change pots into cash and put into savings!

 

 

Today I got rid of a sofa and tomorrow I’m dropping off a freezer and taking down the Christmas decorations!

Busy weekend and then back to work. Got lots of running to do over the next fortnight in time for Hell Down South  below is a video of what I’ve got to look forward too!

Celebrating 30

I’m pretty impressed that in 4 days time I will have made it to a whole 30 years alive. I don’t feel depressed that I’m turning 30 I just feel curiously optimistic!

So below is my list of things to do once I’m 30 that will bring joy.  For me this list is about experiences not goals.

In no particular order;

1. Swing dance in New Orleans – I went to New Orleans in 2013 and couldn’t dance (at all) I’ve spent a good year practicing with some awesome folk in Cambridge and one of my dreams is to dance in the city of swing.
2. Visit Bunny Island in Japan – Having visited Japan last year we mainly did cities and I would love to also visit the more rural areas especially if it’s a bit weird.
3. Fight in a MMA Match – Ronda Rousey is my hero, here whole attitude is inspirational and I’ve found a love for this kind of training in terms of fitness so next step is to get some skill and have that amazing experience!
4. Swim in a warm sea – There is something so liberating about swimming in the sea, I swam off the coast of Norfolk recently and it was compared to taking the family labrador on holiday! If the British Coast could bring such joy, what about warm sea! ( and not a patch of warm sea that someone has pissed in.)
5. Visit Shauferlauf again – I lived in a town in Germany called Markgroeningen when I was younger and they had this amazing festival which is beautifully random and I’ve been wanting to go back for years and I’ve never made it a priority no matter how much I loved it and I want to see my German family the Seng’s again. I always just feel guilty over how much time has passed.
6. Do a Pinup style photoshoot – I don’t have a great opinion of my appearance but before I get too old and wrinkly I really want to have some awesome pictures!
7. Make a successful Pretzel –  I bloody love German food and pretzel are up there, I’m not much of a baker but this would be soo tasty!
8. Visit the Panacea Museum – Given how close I live to this it’s shocking I haven’t been and it looks so fascinating!
9. Shoot guns at a gun range – Just interested in what all the fuss is about!
10. Make a dress for dancing –  I have zero talent in sewing but would love to have a really distinct dress with lovely fabric.

    After I posted this to facebook, I got another suggestion I wanted to add rather than make new posts I’ll just update this one for now!

11. See the Northern Lights – Suggested by my lovely boss, Dawn. An added extra from her was to do this in a hot tub with bubbly and I agree!
