Writing lists, blog awards and other nice things

Well ladies (and my boyfriend, who sometimes reads my blogs) I have been awarded the Lemonade Stand Award by Amanda (Say It) This is the first blog award I’ve ever been given, and it makes blogging all the more fun to know that people actually read it and can relate to what im ranting/smiling/inspired about. High five! 🙂 So yeah, in no particular order I am tagging my fave top 12 blogs at the moment. A bunch of quite AWESOME girlies. Many thanks to Madison for showing me how to do links to peoples blogs, my computer skillz are pretty rubbish 🙂

I am currently sitting writing this from my local library as my internet at home isnt working, and using the internet on my nokia is annoying as the screen is sooo small! Is it wrong that Im excited about coming off and looking through the discarded book sale before I head round to my grans for lunch? 🙂 Anyhoo, last night in bed I wrote a list of things that I want to do before I go back to uni at the end of sept. I technically only have 3 weeks to do these things as Im going on hols for the first two weeks of september. Its not the most amazing or inspiring list, few bigger things and few bitty things but Im writing them on here so I actually move my ass and get them done! Did three already today 🙂 And I’l edit my post as time goes on as I do the rest aswell. Here goes…
Phone bank about train fare transactions on my bank statement (thought scotrail had overcharged me, sorted now)
Phone Uncle Chris at the Citizens Theatre to chat about my 3rd year research project (did that this morning, he told me the man to contact at TAG for a chat and some info!)
Book into my mums salon for some pre holiday pampering (done, booked in for 7pm next thurs!)
Paint and revitalize all my grans beautiful (but a bit weather worn) garden gnomes
Clean out my room at my grans house and start redecoration action plan! (gonna move outa my mums and round to my grans for my final year of uni, will be much calmer living in my grans lovely big house than at my own toddler ridden crazy home :p Update – I’ve cleared out all my old stuff, now I’ve just gotta get my interior design head on and get decorating – how exciting)
Mend/sew/alter/DIY the clothes in my wardrobe that need fixing or some creative tlc! Getting my sewing machine out! (DONE, finally. So much fun, need to take some pics and post about it soon)
Fill out and send away dental form (I AM A STUDENT, fook paying for a check up man)
Set up a savings account (ISA, dunno what bank with though. Lloyds Tsb are cowboys! Need to start saving travelling funds for next summer)
Thats my list 🙂 for anyone else that writes lists, then they know that other people may look at them and the random stuff it contains and be like wft? But honestly, writing lists and keeping a diary of EVERYTHING I’m getting upto keeps me right. I feel much more organised and less stressed and I feel like a better person when I keep on top of things! I only have 4 mins left on this comp now so I better go and get on with the rest of my day 🙂 my wee sister started school yesterday, cute pics to follow soon!
