Resolutions

                                                                 source



At the beginning of this year I decided not to make any resolutions. I never stick to any of them, especially the ones involving food and exercise. BUT I have realised that subconsiously I still have made some and am intending to try and fulfill most of them. I keep thinking I still have 6 months, but it is August and I need to get cracking!!!!! These are some of them:

1. Read 52 books - am on 22 so far so not doing too badly but still 30 to go in 21 weeks EISH!

2. Travel to Spain - check :)

3. Write a short story - this I am determined to do!

4. See The Northern Lights - hopefully my cash flow will allow this

5. Do hip hop dance classes - have already found out where to go, just have to get my arse there.

6. Buy a Canon 550D

7. Eat more salads

8. Sail around Croatia - booked for September whoop whoop!

9. Watch more plays/ballets/shows - easy to do in London.

10. Have 100 blog followers - that is where you come in! Ambitious but hopefully at least 50.


What are your resolutions and how are you doing?

Dukan Fail

I have been avoiding writing this post, because to write it means I am admitting defeat.

Dukan Diet = epic fail

I really did try and I do have excuses, even though they are still just excuses.

My excuses:

1. it is very difficult to eat protein only or even protein and vegetables when in Belgium in the middle of nowhere at a rock festival where they only sell beer, sausages and glorious frites smothered in mayonnaise.

2. it is very difficult to eat protein only or even protein and vegetables when in Spain on la Rambla or in Mallorca when you are faced with a menu of wonderful paellas (which I ate everyday for 10 days straight)

3. it is very difficult to eat protein only or even protein and vegetables when you just don't feel like it because if you eat one more slice of turkey breast or one more flippin hard boiled egg.....you might just chunder 2 weeks worth of protein that dumbass Mr Dukan has suggested you eat.

I know....I've gotten to the anger stage. Now I am just in the I-will-eat-whatever-I-please-Mr-Dookey-Dookan.....childish I know!

Happy Birthday Madiba

Nelson Mandela turns 93 today and it is a day we should all celebrate. People have been asked to donate 67 minutes of their time to work in their local community, one minute for each year of Mandela's service.

I am finally back and back to work :(
Have loads of pics to post of my wonderful trip to Spain. I think I am in love with Spain. The people, the olives, the beaches, the buildings, the sangria, the language, the art and the best of all......The Paella.

And the winner is.........

I was supposed to announce the winner of my fab giveaway yesterday but unfortunately it was shear chaos in our household and the internet decided to go AWOL!

The winner is Jacci, congrats and please get hold of me on email so I can post the pressies your way!

Rockwerchter was amazing, but I feel slightly scarred. I realise that I am too old to party till 5am 5 nights in a row, dance in the mud and then sleep in a rain soaked tent. I loved it but I can proudly say that that was my first and last music festival! On the 4th night I almost had a break down and demanded that The Boyf drive me back to London IMMEDIATELY! He obviously refused my request and watching Chris Martin rock on the stage that night a mere 10m from me, made it all worth it.

Today I am on my way to Spain for some fun in the sun for the next 10 days. I will try post as much as possible, but no promises! I will post pics soon.........honest :)
