Challenges

So, the challenges I set for myslef last February (I think) are not completed by any means. Here's a brief update:

1. Buy a house [done - only 25 years until we own it]
   Well, that one I knew I'd do - L and I have been planning to buy a bouse for a while, and it went amazingly fast when we got down to it. We've even got hold of the landlord from the places we rented to get our deposit back, most of which will be winging its way to paying for our new washer and fridge.
2. Go on a weekend city break [0/1]
   Yeah, you'd think that would be easier huh? Although, we're currently considering doing a mini-cruise to Amsterdam. Although you only get one day in Amsterdam, it counts as a weekend break since you spend two nights on the boat (ie away from home) Now all we have to do is book the time off work and then make sure we can afford it. We're planning on going for our anniversary in October.
3. Buy cushions [0/4]
   Another one which should be simple and isn't. I don't want to buy cushions with covers as I'd like to make my own covers. This is what is taking the time...
4. Lose weight [0 lb lost - scales battery flat!]
   Okay, strictly speaking I don't know if I've acheived this or not. I will endeavour to go out and buy a battery for the scales so that I can prove whether I am still the same weight or not.
5. Take up and continue doing weights OR jogging [jogged once]
   The trouble is: I feel like such a muppet running around with my face pinker than my jogging bottoms (which are pink) looking like I'm about to die. I guess it's my own fault for getting to this point of unfitness.
6. Create and frame a good A3 pastel picture [created]
   Yeah, I have to get around to buying a frame for this, and probably aught to fix the picture too.
7. Hang UoW T-Shirt somewhere [framed]
   This one is waiting on Leon putting some picture hooks up.
8. Make a dress [1/1 (Indian Fancy Dress)]
   Woo! A finished one!
9. Make one of those pretty tops [0.5/1 (disaster, in bin)]
   Yeah, this is likely to remain at 0.5 as the style of top I mean is no longer that trendy, and it's a bit cold for them now anyway.
10. Go for 24 consecutive hours without Tea [10/24 during move]
    This one is definitely not going to happen

Maybe next year I'll think a little harder about these aims before I commit to them, and pick at least 5 of the 10 to be ones I will achieve!
