No.15 Weigh 9.5 Stone

Welllllll, best not put this one off any longer! its more economical than anything else, I have several beautiful vintage dresses that I can't squeeeeeze into anymore and I really want to wear them!

I currently Weigh 10.8 stone so its just over a stone to lose. thing is I'm at the gym almost everyday but I loooove my chocolate and kettle chips (mmmm kettle chips....)
But in announcing I intend to get back into my lovely vintage dresses, that means I actually have to do it or I'll look like a quitter :p and frankly I eat too much crisps and chocolate, this should really be about eating healthier and the weight will be a added bonus.

Im also encouraged by this inspirational Lady, she is running marathons in her weight loss journey!

No.16 The WI

A fluff piece for Friday: now that im signed up for the bi-monthly craft evening and the book club, suffice to say I am well and truely a WI member. Hence I couldn't resist getting myself a WI pin badge!

I'm really excited about being part of a club again, its not something we do as adults so much. I was certainly in fair few club at University: of the sports and drinking variety, I was even in the LGBT club for a while.... but now as *shudder* a fully fledged adult im glad I've found a new club to be part of, along with the lovely Eleni drinks Tea. I think we all like to feel part of something. Hence im showing my 'colours' with pride!

No.18 Visit New Orleans

Work is nullifying (I've never used this word before, but it sprang to mind as I was sitting at my desk updating webpages...zzzz) today so instead I shall show you the small progess I have made for No.18 Visit New Orleans. Small progress it is but I have been on Amazon.co.uk (oh sweet facilitator to all my foolish ideas and fancies!) and purchase the DK eyewitness book on New Orleans and "the world that made New Orleans" and also found a few blogs inspired by New Orleans, particulary excited about New Orleans Cuisine! I have to do my homework if I am going to visit and fully appreciate this fine place!

Over and Out xxx

No.26 Go to Twenties themed party as a flapper

There's nothing like being proactive, so in order to achieve this one I will be hosting a 'Roaring Twenties' themed party for my upcoming Birthday. I'm currently on the search for the perfect Louise Brooks wig and flapper gown.....I'll keep you posted!

No.19 See a Play in London

Done!
Last weekend I went to the Big Smoke to see WarHorse - and it was splendiferous! Brilliant story with really captivating puppetry, if you can call them puppets, the horses as you can see below were life size, and huge!
I think puppetry is one of those skills that you have to work hard to not make it twee, but done right its truly amazing. Which this was!

Its a simple story about a boy and his beloved horse, Joey. Who both end up in the war but are separated. I wont give too much of the story away as the book is very short and a good read, I recommend you read it! and the film is coming out soon as well, so there are a plethora of ways to experience the story.

So, No 19 done, dusted and thoroughly enjoyed! :) x

No.16 I heart The WI

The Bath WI book club will be meeting at the end of the month, I suggested the book Pure by Andrew Miller as it was recommended by the Darling Mr B (as known for his emporium of reading delights) and the Cosy Club as venue as recommended by, well, me!
and duh duh duh duh... Success!

So for the first WI book club meeting I'd say I've contributed pretty well! Also a guided walking tour of Bath awaits on the 7th also with the WI.

No.16 officially achieved!
