Crafts and Life

Round up for the end of May

1. Save at least £215 in my ISA (50p per day) – £70.00/£215
2. Save at least £215 in general savings (50p per day) – £70.00/£215
3. Pay off at least £1k (£85 per month) – £320/£1000 a bit behind on this
4. Read 215 books (4 per week) – 96/215 currently 8 books ahead of target!
5. Read first 10 Kathy Reichs books – done
6. Finish 2 colours on tapestry (at least!) – done
7. Stitch the Winnie the Pooh year – 0/13 does a nonchalant whistle! *grin*
8. Knit 12 squares – 4/12 just a bit behind on this – I need to get two done in June
9. Knit at least another 10 rows on the sweater – done!
10. Learn Welsh – more nonchalant whistling! The one I am trying to learn it from suddenly throws new words in that you haven't heard and expects you to know them and say them – so I need to find a different learning medium I think
11. Lose 12 pounds in weight – +10/12 aaargh! I now weigh more than this time last year BUT I think my thyroid is out of whack again – so I may need that sorting out first.
12. Wear make-up 52 times – 14/52 behind on this as well – just had no energy recently
13. Do 4 recipes from cookbooks not used before – 3/4 this will be finished this coming week
14. Do 13 new recipes – 13/13
15. Make some mead – honey got! Just need to get some Champagne yeast and I can start this off – but getting that is proving tricky! 

Hmm looks as though I need to concentrate more on the crafting and on me! I am paying the CC slowly but surely just not OVER paying by as much as I would like – so June needs to be a much better month all round really.
