So much stuff in my head
Apologies in advance, this is kind of an all over the place entry, I don't really know what I'm trying to say at the moment.
Oh dear lord, I have done NOTHING this holiday, That's a lie, I've marked maybe five books. The rest of the time, I have spent on the internet.
Today I made the descision that I had to get out and DO something. So I managed to get out for the morning into town and I sorted out some stuff. I gave blood, like I've been meaning to for god knows how long (that's also a £5 bonus for my savings, as it's one of the things I'm trying to do more regularly yay!) I finally got my watch strap fixed, so the pretty Swatch that my mum got me for my birthday that has been broken and unwearable since at least february. I also sent off the charm bracelet she got me for my 25th to get the charms attached. Basically, she presented me with a Gold Charm Bracelet for my 25th, that she brought me when I was seven and has been collecting charms for since.
I was pretty choked up when she gave it to me, but she seems to have it in her head that I don't like it. I really awesomely do. So I've sent that off to have the charms soldered and I'm hyped to get it back and collect more charms. I decided it's going to be my accomplishment bracelet, I'm going to get a new charm for everytime I achieve something. So the mile stones are going to be:
Everytime I lose 1% of my body fat until I get to 20% (I'm currently 25.85% now)
Everytime I run a major race (Spartans, Warrior Dash, Tough Mudder, Half Marathons, Marathons etc)
Everytime I reach 10% of my total to save.
That sounds like a lot of charms, but I think they'll be spread out enough that I don't have to spend too much at once. If anyone has any good ideas fo rthe
I'm kind of down about Roller Derby at the moment. I only go once a week, and I don't really want to go. I'm pretty much being a coward if I'm honest. I'm too scared to scrimmage, I think because I'm a pesimist. I know that if I want to get better, I need to find the time to go more, and I need to scrimmage. But I'm pretty much just intimidated by the others. I'm the kind of person that will always feel like it's their fault if things go wrong on a team, like I'm a bad luck charm and that if my team loses it was my fault. If they win, it was nothing that that I did that helped. I don't know why I think like that, but it puts me off skating quite a bit. I need to bite the bullet and get over that fear. Only then will I get better. I know that the skating will also help in my training for the various runs I'm doing, it would be like cross training. I'm going to build myself up to it, and hopefully I can get my attendance up. There is an intraleuge bout on the 21st July. I don't know if I want to play or not, I think I need my confidence boosting as much as possible.
I always assumer Suicide girls with confidence.
I'm still trying to save to get out of this job, but unfortunatly meeting up with my mum meant the credit card took it hard. I'm now £150 worse off and have back stepped my progress by quite a bit. Lesson to myself: Never take out credit card into town. Ever. But, I'm determined not to let this get me down. I am furiously studying for my drivers theory test, which I have already failed twice, due to not studying AT ALL. I am determined to get it done though. Firstly, if I pass it, I can award myself £10 to my savings. And, when I pass this, I can do my practical, and that will save me a good £110 a month. So I am determined to get it done and save the cash. This is going to be my focus until I get it done.
Lastly, I am determined to go on holiday! I can't go this summer, and it's annoying me. Seriously, I feel like I'm watching my life go past and I won't have done anything with it! But I have found this: http://www.edgeadventures.com/destinations/europe
It is not the solution to all my problems, but it does answer the problem of me not travelling as much as I want. There are some amaing guided tours there, and I'm already looking at the London/Rome ones as well as the Iceland long weekend. There are others that I would have to save up for for ages (The China ones and the India ones) but how worth it would it be? Just so I had some awesome memories and experiences.
£294.27 saved, 1.9% of the way there. Dam credit card.
