Resolutions

  • Hello 2015!

    Oh gosh, 2015 you got here real fast! I just don’t really know what to do with you, although I think that’s ok because it’s only the first day of this new year. 

    Although 2015 if I’m honest and sadly I always am, I’m kind of scared of you. I know I have lots of things planned for you this year but to be honest I’m not sure you could top 2014 and to be fair, that’s a lot of pressure on you and me. So really I won’t push but, ya know, if we could just both try that would be fab! Thanks.

    I haven’t mentioned this at all but my word for 2014 ended up being home. I’m not sure what my word for 2015 will be yet I’m still working on it. 

    I haven’t bothered making resolutions or any goals really this year but there are of course things I want would like to achieve. 
    1. Try and go home once a month to visit my Mum & my best friend and her little dude.
    2. Celebrate 9 years with my ‘better’ half! Can’t believe it’s 9 years this year!!
    3. Celebrate my 29th year of life. Oh god I’m getting old!
    4. Get married. Eeeeek!
    5. Move again.
    6. Try for a baby. Fingers, toes and everything crossed.
    7. Carrying on crossing off items on my 101 things in 1001 days list. Tis fun.
    8. Become self-employed. The dream, right?
    9. Or find a new job in a different sector. More realistic.
    10. Read 210 books. Really I should be aiming higher like 250 but that’s a scary number!
    11. Connect better with friends. I still have someone’s present from May!
    12. Get out of the house more. Days off should not be wasted in bed and on the sofa.
    13. Snip off my hair. Dying, dying to do this one!
    14. Reassess my wardrobe. It’s totally pants and not working for me.
    15. Accept this little space more. It is what it is, get over it.

    So really 2015 is going to be a kind of big and kind of scary but we’ve been waiting for this year for a while. So fingers crossed!

  • 2014 Resolutions

    I, as always started my resolutions list really early in December. Partly because I wanted to really list things that I was going to stick too and partly because I knew some of these would be really hard for me and I didn’t want to write them down and not really have the intention of being able to do them. Which is why it’s taken me so long to finally post them.

    Goals, resolutions, intentions. I’ve got a little mix of all three this year but whatever you want to call them here are my list for 2014.

    Move!

    This is a really big one and it’s a joint one. By the end of 2014 we want to be between 2 to 4 hours away from our families in North Yorkshire.

    Plan our Wedding
    If we manage to complete the move, it would be so much easier to sort out our wedding plans but either way considering we want to get married next year we need to start moving forward with our plans and start making some decisions.

    Read xxx books
    I’m still not sure how many books I want to read in 2014 but it’s about 225 books I think although I did hit my highest amount of books read in 2013 so maybe I should make it higher?!

    Attempt to scatter Papa’s ashes
    It’s about a week and a half away from making it four years since my Dad died and we still have his ashes to scatter like he wanted and I think this year might be the year to do it but it also depends on how my Mum feels about this decision.

    Move more, eat less
    Really simple one but most likely popular. I want to exercise more and eat less bad stuff.

    Connect better with friends
    Since living in Plymouth I’ve been trying to stay in touch with old friends and sometimes it’s really easy because it goes both ways and sometimes it’s really hard because other people don’t connect back. But there’s always room for improvement with connecting with people.

    Spend more quality time with the bunnies
    Sometimes I get home from work and end up playing on my ipad, reading a book or watching TV and just let the bunnies do there own thing as they’re quite independent but I want to spend a bit more time with them one on one.

    Have a weekend away in the UK
    I’m not quite sure we’ll get to do this one but I’d really like to have a little weekend away somewhere for a little break as we haven’t had an actual away holiday since 2009 as most of our actual holidays have been spent spending time with and seeing family which is fine and really nice but I’d still like a little away time together.

    Blog at least x2 a week
    I have a few little plans for this little blogging space of mine. First I want to blog regularly, every weekend and if I have any other posts they will go up whenever but I also want to add some different content to allyteepee, maybe a few recipe posts and some home decor posts too.

    Keep a gratitude List
    Write one thing each day that makes me happy or smile or was a shining moment on my day. I feel like I let too many things bog me down towards the end of 2013 and I want to try and focus on the things that made me happy.
