January In Review!

Almost at the end of January, and if im honest, I think im doing pretty damn well with my new years resolutions.


• The first - i need to be more decisive - its come to a point where my lack of a decision could be a worse fate than actually making the wrong decision! so what if i make a wrong choice? what can go wrong? i can just learn from the mistake, but at least then I'm taking my life into my own hands.

• The second - I need to declutter my space! a decluttered room then a decluttered mind and life! why am i keeping clothes and items i haven't used in over a year? i don't think I'm going to use them during this year they are just taking up space which i don't have. I'm sick of living in my own mess! yeah it may start with a pair of socks on the floor but then everything seems to get added to it!

• The third - I want to have more control of my emotions! i don't want to become emotionless and heartless, but I'm sick at crying at every situation! i want to be able to voice my anger without balling my eyes out, crying gets you no where, and its something i need to improve on.

• and finally - Whatever the day brings i need to start seeing something positive in it, everyday is beautiful and its about time i make the most of each day instead of just simply complaining about anything i can!

I am making decisions left right and centre! Ok, they aren’t anything life changing, but im starting small and working my way up to the major decisions, I cant just go jumping into the deep end!

On the whole my room and my life is tidy and de cluttered (currently its a bit messy, but thats because I haven’t yet made my bed and I have some clothes on the floor, but I am going to do that after this posting, I swear I am!) I went to the tip over the weekend and got rid of loads of stuff I didn’t need, and more than likely some items I do need, I just don’t know it yet!

I haven’t really cried yet in January! Well I have once, but I had a very good reason! I was watching the new video by Boyzone called Gave It All Away http://bit.ly/c8MuxA (that links to the video) its heart breaking, its the last song Stephen Gately had ever recorded before his untimely death towards the end of last year, and its such a touching tribute to him, Stephen was always my favourite! I loved him when I was younger!

And finally my see something positive resolution... ive still been doing that! No matter how much shit gets thrown at me at work, im just bloody glad I am no longer at uni! I hated that place with the passion!

Right thats my Months end report done, I will post my movie list next week, once January is actually over, I can still fit several films in before now and then!

Have you stuck to your resolutions?

Or joined me in keeping a list of the movies you watched?

Bye for now! x

Its 2010!!!

Well its now the start of 2010 and I have come to the conclusion i am awful at writing a blog. its been about 6 months since my last update which is just shocking!

How are you all doing? so what is new with me you ask?

I have decided to leave university, and i am now in full time employment. I am a business support administrator for Ideal Standard / Armitage Shanks, which is one of the biggest sanitary ware manufactures in Europe, I am working in the offices in Armitage, making reviews on different projects that we currently have going, and processing contract supports, that is where different merchants or contractors contact us to see what pricing options are available for their projects. it is going really well, the days go really fast and everyone there is great! I'm currently on Christmas break and i go back to work on Monday 4Th Jan which if I'm honest I'm looking forward to, having time off makes me feel lost.

In other news, i had to spend a week in isolation because i was diagnosed with swine flu, that was not fun, i had to phone work and tell them i wasn't going to be in, and my lord i have never felt so ill in my life, every part of me just ached!

There has probably been other things that happened to me, but nothing that comes to mind.

With it being the start of a new decade i have made some new year resolutions, and i need to make them last!

  • The first - i need to be more decisive - its come to a point where my lack of a decision could be a worse fate than actually making the wrong decision! so what if i make a wrong choice? what can go wrong? i can just learn from the mistake, but at least then I'm taking my life into my own hands.

  • The second - I need to declutter my space! a decluttered room then a decluttered mind and life! why am i keeping clothes and items i haven't used in over a year? i don't think I'm going to use them during this year they are just taking up space which i don't have. I'm sick of living in my own mess! yeah it may start with a pair of socks on the floor but then everything seems to get added to it!

  • The third - I want to have more control of my emotions! i don't want to become emotionless and heartless, but I'm sick at crying at every situation! i want to be able to voice my anger without balling my eyes out, crying gets you no where, and its something i need to improve on.

  • and finally - Whatever the day brings i need to start seeing something positive in it, everyday is beautiful and its about time i make the most of each day instead of just simply complaining about anything i can!

These points aren't resolutions but more tasks...

During 2009 i made a list of all the movies i have watched ( i shall publish the list soon) i want to continue the list into 2010! i found it fascinating how many movies i watched, in 2009 i started a book list as well, but that stopped in the middle of the year as i ran out of books, so i will start that up again for 2010! My final task will be TO BLOG MORE OFTEN! i will aim to post something every month, but ideally more often!

What are your New Years Resolutions?

Bye for now! x
