Taking Stock!

Well HELLOOO blog enthusiasts!

So the other day I was blog hoping and having a little look around our tiny blog corner of the internet and came across the cutest blog called A Girl Behind A Lens. Well anyway Chloe had found this post on another blog called Taking Stock and decided to do it too. And you'll never guess what; I am also going to do it :)

I honestly think it's a really good way to just do a quick mood check and with terms coming to a close you tend to find yourself with all this time on your hands and not really knowing how you feel about it.

So here it goes:

Making : wedding plans!

Cooking : cooked a Chicken curry yesterday so I didn't have to cook today.

Drinking : My home-made Cappuccino (see previous post on how-to)

Reading: quite a few blogs atm

Watching: I'm actually pretty into Downton Abbey right now (I never had time to watch it when it was on. Catch-up is a live-saver!)

Wanting: Too much.

Looking: forward

Playing: Wiggle - Jason Derulo 

Wasting: away (I need food soon)

Fixing: my blog

Wishing: for money

Enjoying: the calm

Waiting: for college results

Liking: this cute little stock take

Wondering: If things will ever turn out the way I would like them too.

Loving: hearing from my Dad more

Hoping: that my fiancé gets on well on Monday

Marvelling: at others ideas

Needing: food, definetely food.

Smelling: lavender

Wearing: pyjamas (I know, lazy!)

Following: lots of new blogs

Noticing: that I feel better when I'm productive

Knowing: that I should start eating more healthily

Thinking: I can't do it

Feeling: hungry

Bookmarking: different blogs and new ideas

Opening: the door

Giggling: at my fiance's silly txts

Feeling: Nope, still hungry

Stay safe

Lists, lists we all love lists!

Hi Guys!

So I've decided to make a list of my personal achievements in life, thus far. This post really made me think about the things in life that I view as important to me so here we go. 

Totally miss my red hair :(

1. I made it out of secondary school alive!
2. After a string of bad & pointless relationships I let myself take a chance with someone that was a dear friend to me & it paid off.
3. I got engaged! & am planning our wedding for 2015.
4. I've been in a helicopter.
5. I've been in a submarine.
6. I stopped biting my nails after 15 years.
7. I achieved the highest grade on my case study exam over 3 campuses.
8. I've been indoor sky diving.
9. I passed my level 2 in childcare and education at an A grade.
10. Every time I get an A on assignments, my mum gets me cake. (This is an achievement, I love cake).
11. I got a conditional offer from Northampton to do Psychology without attending any kind of interview!
12. I'm going to Italy for the summer to work as an au pair! (So excited!)
13. I passed my driving test & now own a car.
14. The job that I have now is the first job that I got for myself, well without having a mutual friend with the employer anyway.
15. I went topless on a beach. (Big deal for me, not body confident!)
16. I started this blog just after Christmas and am still posting.
17. I have not been pregnant or on benefits in my whole 21 years. Huge achievement considering where I'm from.
18. I'm a credit to my family. This is important to me because family means every thing to me.
19. I was told by my tutor that I write so well that she had to check the whole of my first assignment for plagiarism. That was nice.
20. Even when I had severe depression, I still didn't let it control my life. Pretty proud of that one.
21. & I think it's fitting to end on 21 as I'm going to be 21 in 4 weeks time. I managed to survive 21 years!

How would your list compare?

Stay Safe.
