Summer Bucket List Update

Its officially 3 weeks until the kids go back to school....Yes...........3 weeks...............Where the heck has that time gone????

As you all know I compiled a Summer Bucket List at the start of the holidays with many things I wanted to complete by September. I thought I should do a midway update of my achievements and failings................................

Things I have completed.........
.
1. Crazy Golf Yipppppppeee.............We did this at Centre Parcs and it was great fun.
2. Taking loads of photos........I mean loads.............Kids are sick and tired of me shoving a camera in their faces.
3. Bike riding..................Big tick for this activity...........Centre Parcs again.
4. Decorated Female Teens bedroom...See Blog Post.....Shut Up And Paint
5. Planted something edible....Chilli's...........Not sure if we will actually get any but the thought is there.


Things I have almost completed.....
1. Have managed to try 9 flavours of Ben & Jerry's ice cream......I cant decide which one I like best so may have to try them all again.
2.. Have made cakes twice.............Even wrote a blog about it Here's Some I Made Earlier...................Haven't made any this week due to feeling sick from all the ice cream.
3.Ate breakfast outside a total of 4 times..........................Bloody kids don't get up until 11am so its been more like lunch.
4. Am happily on track with my reading list..........Think I am on book 5.
5. Movie night once a week was going well until the builders arrived and now The Female Teen is staying at Mums and me and Hubby are rushing around. Hopefully back on track next week.
6. Booked tickets to go up to London to see Wicked with The Teenager and her bestie.

Things I haven't even attempted. started or began yet..........

1.Its looking unlikely that I will buy a sewing machine. Might have to admit defeat on this one,
2. Haven't said "Yes" for a day yet......Its coming......I promise.
3. Haven't been barefoot for the whole day yet due to building work and many nails, plaster and various tools lying around.
4. Have not taken Tween to cinema yet to see Robot film.............Must do this next week.
5. Board games in the garden has been done twice....Wind got up and blew counters over the fence.....Think I might rethink this and take it indoors.
6. Am hoping to go Charity Shop shopping soon and find that all important restoration project.

Number 20 was to try and make a difference to someone's day, even if its just a smile. Think I have managed this a couple of times...............In fact after a party at a good friends house on Friday night I know I made someone smile with my 80's dancing and singing skills..........I cant say anymore................Or I would have to kill you.................................

Good luck with all of your lists.......

Lots of Love
Me
