updated.

Not long to go now before the end, I really need to get a move on!

I think I've done really well though :)

Should have added learn html though as this only seems to update properly if I edit it in html :|

3. Get promoted to supervisor at work at stay in this position for a year (I dont actually want to do this anymore - not yet anyway) 

I applied for a maternity cover position but didn't get it. I dont really want a full time post any more but I'm pretty sure if a maternity came up again I'd apply and get it :)

So In the usual style of my other blog I have a picture post to update my lost with :)

*This doesnt technically count as I watched a pretty sunset but didn't watch it from somewhere pretty:

The next 2 count under two headings - I went somewhere I wouldn't normally go (clubbing all night with randoms) and got over a body hangup (for one night anyway) by wearing this outfit - which included a short skirt. I haven't worn a short skirt in years  (with good reson imo but still - I survived the ordeal and that counts!)

I saw quite a lot of london in the very early morning - it was beautifull :) I photographed it but my camera isn't so good :(

You can actually see both my hair and my tattoo in this pic but my hair is up and was done so long ago you cant tell ;DD

Also things while I remember:

Books - I went charity shopping and bought about 10 some I would normally get and some not - I'm working my way through them now. Trouble is I'm expanding what I would normally read so this task is becoming impossible :D

Familly/dinner: I invited dad and sue up for dinner the other day - they hadn't seen the flat yet and we went to the lock for lunch - it was goooood. then we walked along the canal which was nice :)

I went to my aunt's to see her, her girlfriend, my nan and my 2nd cousin who I've not seen since I was small :) We went to a yummy food place and drank too much but it was an awesome night :) I must see her more - she lives 10 minutes away!

Friends/new food skill: I had some friends over for dinner and learnt how to cook an indian. Something I've never done before but will def do again - twas lovely :)

I've not looked at this enough to know some of my counts - which is a bit pooh - but I've filled in the bits I remember :)
