2013 resolutions

After a brilliant New Year break in Wales with my uni mates (more on that another day) I’m ready to hit 2013 with some new & some tweaked resolutions. I don’t know about you but I’m not keen on the sound of 2013, partly cos so much good happened for me in 2012 & I didn’t want it to end but also cos the ‘13’ sounds a bit ominous, not that I’m superstitious about it, I’d just like to hibernate for the year & wake up in 2014 which sounds much friendlier!

Anyways enough random ramblings & onto the resolutions: 

~ FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF
I’m not going to do the typical lose weight cos it never happens, so this year I’m going to focus on feeling good overall, whether it’s spending a bit more time over my hair, or making sure I put on the right coat to match my outfit & not just grabbing the closest one as I rush out the door, or wearing clothes that make me feel good & not just scruffy. It might even result in losing a bit of the Chrimbo podge but when that’s not the end target I’ll probably reach it easier.

~ ALWAYS UNPACK WHEN I GET BACK
Whether it’s coming in from work, a weekend away or holiday I have a terrible habit of leaving suitcases unpacked or things in piles. I need to make sure I put everything away then it doesn’t build up into a mountain down by my side of the bed. It only takes a couple more minutes & it’s no big deal, so I need to……

~ STOP BEING LAZY
I can be such a slob at times, everyone is I’m sure, but I do think I’m a bit more slobby than others!

~ WATCH A NEW (old) FILM 2/3 TIMES A MONTH
It’s shocking how many classic movies I’ve not seen. I’d like to make sure Adam & I take more time to watch movies in our spare room & relax together.

~ PAY OFF SNEAKY BIT ON CREDIT CARD & KEEP IT OFF FOR GOOD!
I managed to pay off my card at the start of the year but a bit more has crept back on so I’ve made sure I’ve added the last bit to this rule & hopefully I won’t need to add this to 2014’s list!

~ GO TO BED BEFORE 11:30pm ON WEEKDAYS
I’ve even set an alarm on my phone & everything to make sure I go to bed earlier!

~ FINALLY CHANGE MY BLOG NAME
To The Happy Little World of MRS KtP!

Good luck for your resolutions whatever they may be!

Great ideas and good luck with them. I hope to write fewer letters of complaint but there again if people did their jobs properly in the first place I wouldnt have to write them.

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
