Lately, I’ve seen a few people popping up on my social media feeds with the hashtag 100happydays. Intrigued, I looked it up and discovered I’m about 3 years (ok, it is now 2018 I guess… 4 years) late to the game on this one. Basically, it does what it says on the tin. Each day… Continue reading 100 happy days
There’s something about the phrase “new year’s resolution” that makes me nervous. It always feels like there’s a lot of pressure. Besides, I make “resolutions” at all times of year, and when I don’t name them as such they seem a lot easier to keep. I don’t like this attitude of looking at all the… Continue reading 2018 Goals/Resolutions
Another month has come and gone and I need to sit back and ask myself what I’ve been doing with my time. I must have been doing something with it, goodness knows its gone by fast enough. Falkirk Fireworks: Bonfire night can be hit and miss and as the crowds grow safety measures increase (meaning… Continue reading New things I tried in November ’17
I’ve been using these short to-read lists lately, where I pick around 10 books I’d like to read next, and I’ve been finding them really helpful because my long to-read list is… unwieldy and when I have ~100 books to choose from I find it much harder to make a decision than when I only… Continue reading New to the queue (end of 2017)
Want to hear something terrifying? There are only 41 days left in 2017. I know, right? This time last year I couldn’t wait for the year to end, 2016 being what it was. I guess none of us expected 2017 to be worse but here we are. This year I’m a little more… Continue reading What I want to get out of the rest of 2017
Hands up if your one of your 2017 goals was to save more money. Since this blog is online I have no idea how many people raised their hands but I bet it’s a lot. Even if it wasn’t technically a goal of yours, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind saving a little extra. I’ve been… Continue reading Making just a little more money in 2017
Last year I set up a Goodreads reading challenge sometime in March. I’d only just rediscovered Goodreads and I figured it would be a good way to track my reading habit. It was, and by October I’d reached my goal of reading 30 books. By the end of 2016, I’d read 46 books and it… Continue reading 2017 reading goals
I always have mixed feelings about New Year’s resolutions. Like, why do I have to wait until 1st January to start improving myself and my life? Shouldn’t I be doing that anyway? Also, if everyone apparently knows that we’ll all have given up by midway through March, is there any point? So, instead, I’m jumping… Continue reading 2017 Goals
One of my new Year’s resolutions for 2016 was to try as many new things as I could. Most months I succeeded and managed to share a post about the new things I’d been trying. Some months I failed but, then, it has been kind of a busy year. I think this is a really… Continue reading Favourite new things I tried in 2016
Recently my attention was called to a survey carried out by Privilege Home Insurance*. I came across it via this article by The Pool which was doing a great job of critiquing the survey. Privilege Home Insurance had apparently asked 2000 British people what goals they would like to have reached by their 32nd birthday. Bearing in… Continue reading Things you should do before you’re 32
