Resolution fails!

A little over a month ago I set out my resolutions for 2014 and so far i'm pretty sure I've failed in nearly all of them:

I haven't spent less, not even slightly as can be seen by my ever reducing bank account balance.

My room is not tidy. It rarely has been. I might tidy tonight but I'm not promising anything.

I left my guitar at my family home so learning anything on it is definitely not going to happen.

I have made only one blog post since then. To be fair I have three written out on refill (written between classes) and I just need to get around to typing them. I will definitely do that soon!!!

And i'm not sure if I've achieved the new thing. I mean, I've started flatting for the first time, used an electric cooker (I've been brought up with the luxury of a gas cooker). I've sorted out internet and dealt with various companies and made lots of grown up purchases (cue iron and pots and pans and a printer). We've done proper grocery shops and managed to eat real food most nights. I also made a banana cake for the first time. Whilst these may not seem like particularly big things they certainly were all new. Muddling through first time flatting was and still is a challenge (and challenge I am enjoying nevertheless). I am sure new and exciting challenges will continue to present themselves as the year progresses and I am on the lookout for new opportunities.

I also plan on taking part in 100 happy days.  If you haven't heard of this yet you can check it out here http://100happydays.com/ basically it's all about capturing things that make you happy. I'm hoping it'll lead to me being able to focus on the positive more than the negative. Let me know if you are already or plan on taking part as well.

I think I'll leave things here and go and tidy! Or type up a blog post. Or maybe I'll be super productive and do both! We'll see!

Cheerio friends!

  1. I just found you through Sprinkle of Glitter, so nice to see another Kiwi blogger!! Resolutions are so hard to keep, my room is never tidy either, but I like to think that rather than being messy it is in a state of organised chaos!
