101/1001 Update

As promised I am actually following through with my 101 in 1001 list, and this month I have made a bit of progress. I crossed 7 things off of the list and I have made a start on quite a few more. So I am pretty proud of myself so far. I also went back to my original list and updated it there so I can really keep track on how I am going with it all. So far so good!

Here is what I crossed off of the list in January 2011...

#19 - Start a compost

Yep I have some compost sitting and festering out in the backyard the only problem is I'm not sure how to use it and how I know when it is ready to use. I think I need to do some googling.

#20 - Start a home decorating inspiration journal

I started this on Sunday night and it was a lot of fun! I have a whole stack of magazine clippings so I sorted through them all and then started gluing them in - I also did lots of little doodles on each page. I think it looks quite pretty.

#35 - Sew a softie

I sewed up this little baby for the Strumpet's Crumpets Valentine craft swap and even better I am going to post up a tutorial for this tomorrow!

#46 - Create a recipe database on Yum

I have started entering all of the recipes that I actually think are worth making again onto my Yum database on my MacBook - should make it a lot easier to choose something to cook for dinner.

#59 - Go to the beach

Did this with my sister, cousin, Zoe and Grace. Unfortunately since I was looking after Grace I didn't get to go in the water - maybe next time!

#74 - Create a business plan

Done and done - but already I think it needs altering.

#90 - Sort out my music library on iTunes

Finally finished loading up all of my CDs on to iTunes, but now my BFF has given me her massive CD wallet so I need to start loading up some more music - and then to make some play lists!

I've also made some progress on a few other items:

#1 - Achieve my goal weight of 60 kilograms

I am now down to 73.5kg - 13.5kg to go!

I saved $1,075 this month (with lots of thanks to the Baby Bonus)

#32 - Toilet train Zoe

I have got the supplies - potty, undies, start chart - just need to get started!

#41 - Finish my mosaic pots
