My To-Do List 11/10-17/10

This weekends to-do list

Another week.... another to-do list.
You may be wondering why my to-do lists always start on a Friday?  Simples I work Monday to Thursday so for me Fridays are the start of my house week.

My to-do list 4th-10th October

This weekends to-do list

Another jam-packed weekend on the cards, not with social events sadly ..... so as it inspired me so much last weekend I thought I'd make another list to motivate myself.

Blog A Day - 29th September 2013 - my goals for October

Day 29 - My goals for October

What do you hope to achieve?
do you want to master a skill?  go somewhere?  finish a UFO?  make something creative?  Cook something new? Blog about something in particular?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to try and set a goal for each aspect of my life for October.

Thursday........ the weekend starts here........

YAY it's thursday, for me that means Friday as I only work Mon-Thursday.  Need to think of something to do with the boys over the weekend as I hate being stuck in the house.

Unfortunately the tram company are digging up the tracks again all weekend so, as we don't drive, we are pretty stuffed for going anywhere unless we want to faff with busses (yuck).... unless I dare venture out buggyless (double yuck).

OHHHH it's the Lowedges festival on Sunday, wonder how easy it is to get there from mine?  Looks a really fantastic busy day if the sun comes out.

oppps forgot to get the mince out..............done.  Promised the kids spaghetti bolognaise for tea tomorrow and I'd be in trouble if the mince was still frozen lol.  Check out my foodie page for more info on what we will be cooking/eating this week.

Really please to have finished my little Pole dancer cross-stitch , brilliant for tying in my 2 favourite hobbies.

Have been a tad addicted to Twitter the last couple of days, found Liz @dragonflylotusd who has a great idea for #WIPWednesday  a chance to twitter your cross-stitch update pic every wednesday with the # on the end so the stitching community can follow your progress.... hopefully it'll give me a swift kick up the rear to get my WIPs completed.

I'm feeling really Christmassy, have got a real urge to get some shopping done, but I must restrain myself another couple of weeks, nothing wrong with window-shopping tho right?

Just off to update the spending diary and then picking up London Underground stitch for an hour, night night.

Pole Dancer quick stitch

Here's a little cross-stitch of a pole dancer that I designed and stitched in the last couple of days.

SOOO cross tho - the blue pen I used for the gridlines didn't come out properly.  Have used the pen before for a lot longer with no problems which leads me to think it's the aida that is a problem not the pen .

Then i cut it all higgly-ti-pigglety...... but it's just for me to use as an avatar so it'll be fine for that.

5th August 2013

WOW just sat watching Extreme Couponing on TLC, how well organised are those people....... I must admit I do like the idea of printing off the yearly list and buying it all in the January sales.
Unfortunately that just wouldn't work with my boys, I tried to buy cheap for them as the year went on last year only to be met a week before Christmas with "but mummy xxx is ALL I want for Christmas" (DS1, 4 years old).

I will admit to having started my Christmas Shopping though, anyone else?  There are after all only 141 days to go :)

So tonight I've updated my pole fitness and cross stitch pages if you like to follow these.

Please bear with me until I find a layout I like........ lol.
