( My Mission 101 List )

In Progress: 17/101


Completed: 1/101



Wish me luck, join me if you want!! ;)

So as it turns out, my only fun at the moment is on weekends! lol
On Friday, I had a great adventure and made my way from work (after waiting 40 minutes again for a bus on my work route) to the other side of Sheffield for the Buddhist center to attend their Tara Chanting Retreat.
I had fun at the Tara Chanting retreat!! It was tiring (I slept about 3 hours all up) but it was really peaceful. We repeated the chants and the 21 incarnations of Tara thing about 6 times over about 20 hours. It was incredible. It was really calming.
Then I was dropped off at home, got changed and left straight away for Leeds to see The Living End.
O.M.G!
The concert was amazing!
I ended up in 2nd row in the mosh (some guy let me through! I kid you not!) and I touched Scotty's bass, touched Chris Cheney and scored Chris Cheney's guitar pick. Amazing.
I was talking to some random weird guy for a little while because he started asking me at the merch stand how I knew about TLE, and I was like 'um? listen to my accent?' lol

Then we got a lift back and slept a few hours before getting up on Sunday to go to Toys R Us with our Liam.
It was awesome fun too!! We went around for a few hours and sorted out his Christmas presents. I loved it!!
He was so funny! I treated everyone to a Pizza Hut lunch and then we went home.
Then Charlie and I went out (on a Sunday night!!! - !!!!) with Chloe and Alex.
12 jugs of Purple Rain later..... Yeah...
It got a bit messy and I felt like shit yesterday! lol I still went to work though!!!

I also had to go get my coat, which I left in the Buddhist center on Saturday, and so I had another adventure out there! lol

Then today, I directed three Aussie guys to Sheffield from Meadowhall. It was good times! haha

That is all my news, apart from that I am doing great on my Mission 101 and that I am having a Disney DVD Christmas!! ;) ;D

I am a month into my Mission 101 List already.

( I am proud of my progress so far! )

So not much has happened in the last week apart from the following, which will be given in short.

I found out last Friday night that I am definitely on my course, but had to wait until Sunday night my time to ring up and confirm that I was ok to post my confirmation after the cut off date. All is good and I am sorting out subjects with my very nice course co-ordinator at the moment. She is enrolling me on relevant Speech Therapy subjects that are available by Distance Ed. :)

We went to Whitby and Scarborough on Saturday and it was bitterly windy. I love Whitby a great deal, but I have to admit it was windy. I loved it all the same. I took some more amazing photos, but just got upset that I couldn't have any chips from anywhere. Stupid cooking in beef fat, etc.
Charlie and I went out on Saturday night with Paul and Jo to Pizza Hut, but they had to pay because my card was declined. It turns out the shop I bought an in car charger from had charged me for it twice. I had used my Australian card and ended up losing money in the refund so they gave me a free case...

On Sunday we went to Blackpool (never again, although I did buy some Pocky, Milo and Sushi making goods. I also purchased a staff creating ruler. It is awesome) and then Liverpool. Again it was bitterly cold, but fun nonetheless.

I miss driving and loved driving around again.

I found out that I am getting my bonus in tomorrow's pay and I am happy it is paying for Christmas, a few bits and pieces and then paying off a big chunk of some cards. I am so grateful for it!!!

That is about it really. I am about to update my 101 as I am a month in. :)

Well, last week was pretty uneventful (apart from two days straight at work doing nothing but one customer's work!!) and then the weekend came!
I ran out the door at 5 and got to the coach station. 3 and a bit hours later, I was in London and off to see dannydisco!! :D YAY!!
We had amazing times!
I really ought to bring the photos over, but in short the weekend is this:
Friday:
Got in late and made it to the Tower tube station by myself!! (Get me! haha) and we sat up nearly all night talking.
Saturday:
We spent about 5 hours in the Tower, including a lovely, lovely morning tea. I had scones! haha
We then tried to make it to the zoo, but missed final let in. So we ate our Subway while cruising Baker St, got caught in a sea of Chelsea fans and then wandered from Trafalgar Square round to Westminster Abbey.
Amazing times.
We then went ice skating outdoors and didn't fall over, no thanks to a whole host of people holding on to each other and hogging the ice.
Sunday:
Sunday was spent at the London Dungeon. We walked over Tower Bridge and walked back over London Bridge. We stopped off then at Monument and took pictures of that and Pudding Lane.
We then had lunch in a Whetherspoon's near the Tower. It was amazing.
I then went home. :( lol

So that is my weekend in short. It was amazing times!

Since then I have just been at work and doing the same old, same old.
Although I did have my review and it went well. Surprisingly well actually. My boss is happy with me and I said I was happy now I was not just testing. (Though it is still just a means to an ends to get to Speech Therapy Masters) As it turns out now, 6 months and I should be out of training. Yay!! :D lol

In other news, Mission 101 is going well this time. I have finished tons of books and other stuff is in the works. Check this space!!

I can hear them singing from my house! I am 2 miles away, roughly, and can hear clearly the singing from Oakwell. Seriously. I kid you not.

Red Army!
We love you Barnsley, we do...
etc, etc...

<3

So today, I received an email from the Uni that starts like this:
You have received this email for one of the following reasons:

- You are intending to study at CSU.
- You are a current student or staff member.
- You applied and have chosen not to accept enrolment with CSU, if so please disregard this email.

The mystery deepens, but appears to be that I have been accepted??
I am still unsure as no correspondance has appeared in my mailbox! lol

I am still crossing my fingers!!!

I have been back at work this week. I spent Monday in a web conference, that I had never done before. I bumbled through and managed to come out OK, I think...
I then basically worked all week.
I did, however, see Muse in Sheffield on Wednesday night. It was absolutely amazing! They played Supermassive Blackholes which is my favourite. I was even more stoked when they finished with Knights of Cydonia! :D The crowd went off! Well, except for Charlie as he still has an injured arm! lol

He is getting better, but is still in a lot of pain!!!

In other news, we went shopping in Meadowhall today and the old Zavvi store (now Head??) is closing down and selling everything. I bought £50 of CDs and DVDs. I also bought Guitar Hero on Tour Decades for like £5! Amazing! <3

Other than that, we just went to Locke Park last night for the bonfire and I finally got a letter from the ATO who informed me they have "adjusted" my tax return so I owe nothing. That was great news idiots.

Also, apparently a decision has been made on the course I applied for next year with CSU, but I've not received the letter yet so I am still crossing my fingers on account of that.

I have sent off everything for volunteering but am yet to hear back from Mencap or the NHS.

I think that is about all really, I am boring! haha

I am so freaking tired.
I hardly slept last night and can't stay in bed.
Though I did watch Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. I got upset at the end...

If anyone can tell me who Dallas Crane supported on tour in 2005-2006ish, that would be appreciated. I know I have seen them live, but can't remember who they supported...
Kthxbai.

Ok, I will try this again as I managed to lose this post via the app.... Today I cut up a credit card and it was quite freeing!! I know that it will be paid of soon now. :) In other news, Green Day were fab last night. I was tired from my trip to Dartford, but I loved it all the same! There were two young blokes next to me who were hilarious!! In my only other bit of news, I am having a hair cut on Saturday and I think I'm going short again.... Now I am on my way to Barnsley to get to the football. Barnsley v Man U. Come on you Reds!!!

WTF!?

I have to pay the ATO 2c!

2c!!

I have to pay the ATO 2 cents!

Does it make it any better every time I write it? Not really!!!

2 freaking cents!!!

How the feck does that work!!!???

Gross tax payable: 26c
Tax offsets: 24c

Therefore, I owe 2c.

2 freaking cents!!!!

What a load of crock.

I want to pay in cash! hahaha

I have received a response from both the Stroke Association and Sheffield Teaching Hospital in regards to volunteering.
I am getting back to both within the next few days. Cross your fingers!!

Wow. 3 months!
Incredible!
I have had a lot on!

I have been back home for 3 weeks and had fun with some old friends, but also realised how far I had come from the old me. I am proud of myself and wouldn't change anything for the world.

My mate James is now living with us and we are adjusting accordingly.
I am still working out what I want in some other respects.

I am working towards becoming a SALT like I want to. I have been applying left, right and all over for volunteer positions. I am waiting on a volunteer pack from the Stroke Association and to hear back from Sheffield NHS so I will see.
I also applied for a Distance Education Science course to study anatomy, psychology, biology and rehabilitation science to help move me forward for this Masters I want to do.

Work is still a bit meh. I was in Dartford last week and that is the first time I have started doing something properly since I started. I have a review in November, but in my heart I know this job is as temporary as Officeworks was.

Apart from that, I really just need to start using this more often now that I am a bit more sorted out!
The house is still a bomb site with all the stuff that came over from Charlie's mum's since they sold that house.

Tomorrow I am going to redo my Mission 101 as too many of my goals have changed so I think I might start fresh. :) I achieved about 40 of the things on my list anyway so that isn't too bad, but I have changed in what I want even since last February.

In other news, I can't wait until next pay as I am going to start modifying some clothes and buying some stuff on eBay like I used to. I have gone through old clothes and given a ton away to charity so I am ready for working on some new ones. :)

Night for now. :) x

Sucks.
I am going through a lot in my head and trying to sort it out.
I am sick of things at the moment and am trying my best to make the decisions to get me where I want to be.

OK so I am postıng thıs ın turkey and excuse me but I have no freakıng commas.
OMG ıt ıs lıke death thıs keyboard.
Anyway I am waıtıng for my frıend because her flıght was delayed and they lost her luggage AND my phone wasn't workıng. So I have been waıtıng here for lıke 4 hours or somethıng and I had lunch (Yummy yummy mushroom casserole) and waıted.
Fınally got to talk to her and she ıs on her way so I am waıtıng some more.
Dıdnt end up seeıng Nıxon but went and saw Alı and Julıe for a few and ended up at Charlıes mums.
Ended up out on the Sunday as well whıch was nıce and I met some new frıends.
All last week at work was just full on wıth thıs project and ıt has been ınsane. Hopefully I wıll get back to ıt beıng lıve. :)
Apart from that I packed last mınute for thıs trıp and went out the nıght before we went to London.
Frıday nıght was out and Saturday mornıng we went to London. We dıd some shoppıng on Saturday and yesterday we went to the Natural Hıstory Museum whıch was ace. I also loved that I got a very hungry catterpıllar mug for work. Nıce.
I am stıll waıtıng for Bec...
I had a fantastıc trıp over and even bought a nıce fıttıng hat and some cute socks. We got stuck ın traffıc though and the drıvıng style here ıs manıc.
Anyway I am so sıck of thıs keyboard and need to see ıf Bec ıs outsıde so I wıll catch ya later.
Oh and to answer any querıes I am here doıng an ANZAC tour once I get to Kusadaşı tomorrow. I get a Turkısh bath tomorrow and we come back up to Istanbul. :)

The last month has just been work and confusion.
I have done so much soul searching and it is killing me.
Becs, I echo what you have said... I will email ya'll though.
I have been in Nottingham for two weeks and travelling down every day.
I have finally paid Turkey and sorted my money for it, no thanks to the other half...
I have also been questioning life and all sorts.
Today is going to be my first day off in forever and I plan to spend it tidying, reading, writing and finally updating my 101 later.
Life swings in all directions.
Seriously wanting to get away....
Might be seeing Nixon tonight but I am not sure.

Yes.
November was taken up by me hating my job that took up way too much time.
December was Christmas and stress that we had no money after going to Paris. Paris was amazing though, and I am so going to go back. The tower had the third floor shut so we didn't go up, but we walked around and saw EVERYTHING! Amazing!!! I have tons of photos! Disneyland=<3
January and February was when Dad was over so I was running around after him. I had fun away with him for a week and a half off work, but the rest was just tedious because I am not able to entertain a nearly-60 year old.
Now things have settled down a bit, except I am working ridiculous hours at work. (ie. leaving the house at 7:30 and not getting in till 8ish, though it was 9 on Wednesday)
My house is a mess, but we looked at a massive house to rent a 5 minute drive out of town so we are sorting out money and we should be getting our checks done etc next week if it hasn't gone this week.
Charlie and I won £10 on the lottery last Friday and promptly spent it on lunch out before going to the World Club Challenge in Leeds on Sunday. Manly won, and I was having a ball even though Leeds fans sounded like they wanted to kill the Manly fans.
Apart from that, I am trying to get back into my journal and stuff since I now have some me time each night as Charlie is finally doing proper uni work. Yay! lol
I have been hating only having 5 minutes at work to get on Facebook from time to time.
I need to sort myself out.
I mostly want to move so I have room to start my sewing and scrapbooking. I am getting a sewing machine from some family so that is awesome. I am also going to buy a digital piano for the house so yay on that account too.
I feel empowered because I have paid off one credit card and when James moves in with us for those few months, it will help immensely.
Becs, we are totally having our trip away from home in Australia (you get what I mean, yeah?) as a trip up to Brissie so I will let you know dates as we are booking our Australia flights once we know what is happening with this house.
Rue, we might be coming to the US in December, but we aren't sure yet!!!
Everyone else, I am back and cold and I have housework to do so that is all for now.
Oh, and I am test manager at work for a big BIG client so I have a challenge and I don't hate work so much now! lol
Oh, and Pizza Hut stuffed up our order last night so we had 4 massive sharing platters between 4 and 2 large pizzas! Hilarious!
101 to be update soon and I think I will clean up this lj...
