Two more down 79 to go!


Cheated here and added attend a swishing party! I did enjoy it and dispute being smaller I actually came home with several tops - dont know how Linda thought it was only one? Wasnt brave enough to get a tatoo but there you go. Mums has now faded bless her! Had a lovely time anyway . Here in Essex think they have got the swishing bug only not actually calling it that but same princple but you have to take along 10 items and dont have the fun of trying it on as its held in a public place !
Afraid my healthy eating plan went right out the window since the weekend away and I am finding it hard to go back to it and its only been three weeks. So need to get motivated.

Two More Down 90 to Go

Had a lovely weekend away with my family and was able to complete another two things while away . We had a swishing party and I think Liz has the record for most things that suited her. She even managed to get some things that weren't even in the swishing bag. i got a lovely blouse from Linda and Linda ended up with a top. Mum got a skirt and cardie and Sue got a top but was hampered by the fact that she is so much smaller thn us all. Wish i had that problem. It was fun though and hope to repeat it here with my friends. Nobody liked the green dress I had so back home it came ready for another swish.
We then proceeded to have fake tattoos applied but since we were all being a bit woosie we were all looking for the smallest one possible. sue took a picture so hopefully she will post it later here.
Sadly I was too much of a woose to get up and do karoake little did I know if Sue hadn't gone to bed she would have got up and sang with me. Will have to pluvk up courage another time.
Have decided to work on getting a bit healthier this month so have started drinking 8 glasses of water, giving myself reiki and using pain machine. hope to also have lost 4 pounds before I go to Turkey in four weeks and put it all back on again.
Have spent most of the day trying to complete my disability form but am nearly finished now and hope to have it completed and copied and in the post in a few days .

Monthly Check-In-April Sue

Thought I would add my update. Still haven't managed to reach 101 but still working on that.I have completed four things on my list and I am working on several others at the moment. I am finding it quite hard doing it on my own, its no fun and think maybe I am attempting too many at once. I am going to sit down and put my list in some sort of order as I think it may help me too attempt it more easily.

1. I am please I got my new IPOD TOUCH and am finding my way around it. OOPS spoke too soon have deleted almost everything off it - cant seem to get the hang of ITUNES!

2. I was able to suss out how to upload PODCASTS to my IPOD - its been a bit of a hit or miss with my IPOD touch but think my problem is with ITUNES.

3. I managed to clean up the emails on my PC but it is a continuous process as I receive a allot of emails to do with genealogy groups I am a member of but I am managing to keep on top of it all. Has been suggested I keep a separate email address for this and will probably do this when someone shows me how!

4. Was fitted for new bras - so glad as I treated myself to some new ones which gave me a better shape - in fact Ive been back to buy some new ones several times . I'm working on a few others - health ones important as I recently learnt my cholesterol is quite high,and I'm anaemic amongst other things, so had really decided to try and eat healthily now. Manging to eat more fruit and have breakfast so hopefully things will become easier. Easier said than done. Trying to catch Linda up with the free rice one but nowhere near her, yet.

Monthly Check-In-April Linda

I can't believe its only been a month and I have already managed to complete 8 things from my list. It must be all those years of target setting for pain relief and pacing that have helped me.

1 We had a lovely spa day together here and may repeat it, it was very relaxed hope to do another one maybe at my Mum's.
2 I really enjoyed getting rid of the work papers and if I find any more bits around I just rip them up and throw them away-freedom.
3 I liked wearing the dresses every day and got a few compliments off hubby so may wear them more often.
4 The blog has been very interesting to do ad I can't wait to see Sues one about geneology I'm sure it will be very good, so although I have complted my month and as you know am doing two blogs I will carry on at least until the 1001 days are up.
5 Following on from the blog was writing an article about the 101 list for the fibro group so one target helped complete another one- how great was that.
6 Putting more plants in garden was really lovely and I can't wait to see all the flowers caome up. 7 Sharing skills has gone really well and I am hoping to learn card making with a friend or sister Liz?
8 What a week it was in Turkey went way out of my energy envelope but my house is beautiful and I can't wait to go back there in five weeks time.

Things I am still working on are donating rice to freerice which makes you feel goos as well as keeping the old brain ticking over. Have started a website but not done anything to it other than link it to this blog. Still trying to wear all clothes in my wardbobe which should be easier now have tidyed up and ordered it. Cupboard tidying is ongoing helped by my little mousey visitor.
Sharing skills has gone really well and I am hoping to learn card making with a friend or sister Liz?

My only problem was not buying clothes for a month only lasted 25 days then "needed" new pajamas for Turkey. Soooo have to start again on that one although I think I certainly saved some money. Will have to try and look at my wardrobe as my new "shop".

hope to see a few more people adding their posts but I can always do it for you and even their lists.

Just wondered if everybody who is following the 101 list could just write a brief note about how they are getting on so far either here or by email and I will add it on for you.

Buying Furniture for Turkish House


Had a lovely week buying lots of lovely furniture and bits and bobs for our new house in Turkey.

I was lucky enough to go with Liz my sister who had a good look when she thought I was getting too tacky and she was great for dealing with any problems. I would have just let them go because of lack of energy but Liz was quite happy to sort out teething problems.


The house looks lovely now we spent too much but it is worth it it was quite depressing to come back to my normal messy house but have got over that now and am just thinking about trying to make it just as nice to come home to. Not an easy task but it is on my list to declutter cupboards and make improvements. Just hard to do all things at once.

Am trying to look at how to put some photos on so may try to add a few pics here.
