Another 35 Things Update

I'm loving having this list to keep some goals in mind and keep me focused, as I do tend to get distracted and flit from one thing to another, but this makes sure I remember what I actually want.

1. Get to target weight - I'm about half a stone from my goal, but I don't think I "feel" right yet. It's mostly about toning, but I'll get there and then see how I feel.

2. Buy a house - gah. I wish. We've been exploring lots of different ways to do this, but based on our poor credit history it's still not looking possible yet. Potentially next year (and that's also presuming we can raise enough for a deposit haha)

3. Finish my degree - erm. This has gone a bit wrong and I've withdrawn from my module.

4. Start my website development business and/or open The Green Bean - I'm going to work for my friend so this is also on hold, although I do think The Green Bean has a special place in my heart.

5. Run a half marathon - I'd started "jeffing" in training for our 5k in June but it was making me feel anxious so I stopped. I'm in a better place now, anxiety wise anyway, so I will try again.

20. Learn first aid - paramedic sis-in-law is finding a date for this <3

22. Wean myself off screens (Screen free day a week) - I had got better with this but I keep failing. It is something I really need to focus on.

23. 35 RAOKs - gave my car parking ticket to another car. It's a silly little one but it's not something I do usually, as I don't generally like approaching people. 2/35 done.

24. Re-learn French - had a mini conversation entirely in French when we were away and it made me really want to get on with this one. I miss being able to speak French. I've downloaded Duolingo on my phone and I'm ordering a monthly French activity box for J so hopefully that will refresh my memory as well.

25. Have an emergency fund - technically while we are saving to pay off the debts it's a temporary emergency fund. That'll do for now as debts take priority.

28. Visit 35 National Trust sites - Ickworth, Flatford, Sutton Hoo, Wimpole, Hatfield Forest, Woolsthorpe Manor, Dunwich Heath, Blickling... 8/35

34. Grow most of our own vegetables - we recently took on an allotment. It needs a lot of clearing so I don't think I'll be able to say we've got the full benefit from it this year, but it's a step closer.

35. Learn how to crochet or knit - I taught myself basic crochet just before Christmas but I haven't practised since so I don't think I can say this one is completed yet. Must practise!

To sum up - I need to lose 7lbs and tone up a bit, start Jeffing again, put my screens down, plan some more RAOKs, order the French box and practise crocheting! Easy....
