2014 To do List...

As seen in my previous post, last year I put together a fun lost of things I wanted to do or achieve that year, throughout the year I checked them off and earlier today, I looked back at my progress. 

Now it's time for my 2014 goals, I'll put all of these into their own tab at the top of my blog and will most likely add to it throughout the year. 

Some may be repeated if I did them in 2013 and really enjoyed them.

Here goes...

• Get a full time job
• Get a place with Chris
• Jog more
• Jog/run 5K
• Stress less
• Conquer a fear
• Have a memorable 21st
• Paris
• Have a spa break
• Have a weekend away 
• Go to a festival
• Sign up to a charity
• Reach 500 blog followers on either blog
• Try something new
• Host a dinner party
• Learn to cook

That's all I can think of for now. Hopefully I can complete the majority of them and I'm sure I'll be adding more over time. So see my progress throughout the year check the tab next to my blog header.

Have a great new year. 

2013 Completed Goals?

So this post is kinda going to be a two part post. At the start of last year I compiled a list of things I wanted to do in 2013, I made the list and put it into a tab at the top of my blog, see here!

I knew by putting it into a space like that I would reference to it often and try to complete as many as possible. 

The reason this will be a two-parter is because I plan on doing the same for 2014, so stay tuned till later to see an updated list. 

So let's see how many I completed and how many I didn't...

Get to a weight I'm happy with

This didn't exactly happen. I exercised a lot more than a normal year this year, but it was often I  bursts, next year I plan to stick to a regime. 

Go abroad

Complete. I went to Marbella. 

Go to Paris

Incomplete. I went on a road trip all the way across France though. Paris is definitely in store for next year. 

Go to a festival

Yes. Holi One Colour Festival was definitely one of the more memorable points of the year. I  very glad I did it.

Go to the beach lots in summer

Complete. I probably went between 5-10 times. 

Have a BBQ

I had far more than anticipated.

Go to an Aquarium

We spontaneously visited an aquarium on our anniversary in Brighton. 

Go to Blackpool pleasure beach

Incomplete. We sadly didn't venture anywhere further north than the Midlands this year.

Visit the Lake District

Didn't do this, but it's still somewhere I'd like to visit.

Go to a Safari park

Visit a zoo

Two things I've been banging on about to my boyfriend all year, but we've never gotten round to doing.

Go to a comedy show

Jason Manford and Stephen K Amos. Check.

Go on the London Eye

Considering I've lived in London for 2 years and Chris has been here his whole life, we had both never been on the London Eye. Although I'm very scared of heights this was something I'm glad I did.

Have a picnic in the park 

For the first time in God knows how long, summer in England was actually pretty good. So I spent plenty of time having picnics in the park.

Dress up for Halloween

I dressed as a bloody snow white as I gave my original costume to my sister as hers wasn't delivered on time. It counts right?

Go to a fancy dress party

Does Halloween count?

Make an EBay account 

Something I've been putting off for years! Okay so I didn't actually create my own, but I equally use my boyfriend's account. Before our holiday we put loads of old stuff on, definitely glad I did that.

Get my own place, or one with Chris

Quite a complicated one but incomplete. Moving out is more difficult than anticipated. We hope to early in the new year though.

Get a full time job 

Again. No. I was in a job I loved that was part time up until July then got thrown right into another part time job straight away. Hopefully this will change soon. 

Have a new years kiss

Incomplete so far. But I have new years plans and will be with my boyfriend so I'm sure I will complete this.

Get a summer party house for a week

Something again, we talked about a lot but never got round to.

Conquer a fear

Flying. I flew for the first time this year and was terrified! Very glad I finally did it.

Adopt an animal (cat or dog)

Sadly not.

Go got London Dungeons & Madame Tussades

London Dungeons. Check. Madame Tuassades, maybe next year? 

And that's that. More than I thought I'd complete. Some will be rolling around to next year's list, some won't. I'm glad I wrote it all out though, it's sometimes nice to see what you've achieved. I'll be back later with my new and improved goals for 2014! Stay tuned.

May Goals..

http://myblogisthebestblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/april-goals.html

I managed to tick off a few and some are in the process of being ticked off, so I thought as it was quite a productive and motivating thing to do, that I would make it a monthly thing on my blog. For myself to see how productive I'm being and to see what I can achieve every month.

So without further ado, here are my May Goals...

- Save Save Save! Hopefully be fairly close to moving out by the end of the month!
