    Day Zero – Month 27 (December)

    You know the drill. On the 19 September 2010 I started a Day Zero list: a place to record goals, discover new challenges, and gain motivation to achieve them. I made a list of 100 things I want to do over 1001 days. The list is due to be competed by 16 June 2013. In the last couple of weeks I have 5.     Read at least one book every month for 12 months It’s taken downloading the Kindle app on my iPad Mini to finally get back into reading.

I am tagging people that I haven’t seen since High School, Uni and previous jobs that I haven’t spoken to in years. And, quite frankly, if we haven’t spoken in years, surely that was for a reason?!

    Keane at Wembley

      We’ve had a busy few days; watched Keane play at Wembley, my sister visited, saw the Kylie exhibition at the V&A and caught up with some old school friends. Today we braved Brent Cross and spent over 4 hours shopping for curtain fabric! Weekends should be as long as weeks!
