Decided to do [info]mission101_2009, as an incentive to get things done!
The only problem is I only have 63 things on it at the moment.
There are lots of things I want to do, but because I'm moving into my own house next month [!!:D] I don't have the money for dance lessons/visiting other countries/going to concerts no matter how much I want to!
I'm going to leave the rest til I move in, then I'll know how much money I have, and what household chores I need motivation to do!

Edit: Added a few more goals - Upto 67 now!
Edit 2: List is complete

The List )

It's my birthday tomorrow :D Yay!
Working during the day [I wanted to!], and they've promised to buy me a big sparkly 'I'm 21' badge, haha. Then going to parents in the evening to spend some time with them. Friday mum, dad, Jo, Gary and I are going to an indian for tea. Saturday Alex has booked the day off work just for me, bless him, so we're going to do something. Then on the 5th Feb we're going to my favourite resturant with work :D There's going to be about 15 of us and it's only a tiny little place :D

Also - my work 'Secret Summer' [same as secret santa, but we did one in the summer before all the kids went to uni] came through yesterday. EVERYONE at work know my DW/Barrowman obsession, and luckily for SS I got my boss, who understands it somewhat, haha. The present I got in the summer was wrapped in DW paper, and I had a car window sticker from the exhibition saying 'I've seen Who's in Cardiff', and she said there was another bit coming, but wouldn't tell me what! So yesterday, about 5 months [!] after she wrote to them, JB's office finally sent her a signed photo of JB for me :D Yay! My camera's dead so I can't take photos, but basically it's this photo - http://www.gov.im/lib/images/villagaiety/johnbarrowman1.jpg - don't know they're sending that out cause it's a really old one, and it's signed across the bottom 'Barrowman'.
Gary won't let me frame it and hang it up though, haha.

WE BROUGHT AN ENGAGEMENT RING ON SATURDAY :D:D:D
I can't tell anyone yet cause e decided not to tell anyone till the ring is actually here, and it won't arrive til the end of this week at the earliest, and then I'm not convinced we picked the right size in the end, so it might have to be resized again.
So as I can't tell anyone in real life I thought I'd tell you lot instead :D:D

I'M SO EXCITED :D:D:D

Bless.

Gary's found his head torch from somewhere, and just pulled it down over his nose and is now sitting there quietly singing 'Rudolf with your nose so bright...' to himself.

The rules:
1. Have NO life.
2. Bold the names of guys you’d definitely sex it up with.
3. Italicize the names of guys you might fuck after a little persuasion.
4. Leave the guys who don’t do anything for you.
5. Put a question mark after the guys you’ve never heard of.
6. Strike the guys you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.
7. Give reasons if you want to.
8. Add three more guys to the list.

1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Brought a house

2. Did you keep your New Years resolutions and will you make more for next year?
Didn't do resolutions, I did 101 in 1001, which is going fairly well...

Happy Christmas to everyone! Hope you a lovely couple of days!

Got some lovely presents this year:
Gary got me all 7 series of Buffy in a grogeous box set, Toy Story 1&2 in a limited edition box [IT HAS POP UP BITS] and PURPLE CONVERSE. :)

Loads of stuff off parents, after we told them not to get us much cause they gave us money towards a Wii as well. Loads and loads of DVDs, a decent pile of books, some cook books and accessories, clothes - just lots of nice things!

Went to Gary's mums for christmas dinner, then to my mums. Sat to his dads house. Yesterday I went to visit grandma & uncles, saw a friend I haven't spoken to for about 3 years, and she stayed over, I have no idea why we stopped talking! Today went to visit Auntie Josie & Uncle Colin! :)

SNOW :D
It snowed yesterday, and then I think it rained last night, and it's gone REALLY icy, and my car won't even make it out the end of the road, haha. Such a shame I can't get to work!

I love snow :)

Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Hello everyone, I am alive, my internet and the laptop died!
Tonight or tomorrow I'll be catching up on everything :)

Edit: Just reread this post and it makes no sense at all, so I shall edit it into English :)

1 month to Christmas! Yay!
Not a lot really happening in my life.
I had a meal with my uncle last Tuesday, which was really nice! We went to Mocos in town - which is my favourite restaurant!
I'm using Google Chrome, which I don't quite understand, but I'm sure I'll work it out!

Also I have a new phone! I got a Blackberry Curve 8520 :D I love it!

How AMAZING was the CiN clip of Doctor Who?! :D
