October Goals Revisited


At the beginning of October I blogged about my goals for the month. Since then October seems to have completely whizzed by, and now it’s November I can completely focus on all things Christmas! While I’ve been really busy this past month, I’ve completely forgotten what I set out to achieve in October, so now’s a good a time as any to look what and see if I’ve achieved my goals!


Lose half a stone
Ha no. I found myself struggling with my Slimming World group, and felt like I had no support at all, so decided to leave. I’ve now changed group, run by the lovely Em, so I’m hoping things will change soon!


Read two books
I actually managed this one! I haven’t read a book properly in what feels like a long time, so to have managed to read two this month feels like an achievement!


Get into a regular gym routine
Nope. With me and a friend I go to the gym with having been ill a lot this month, our personal training sessions have been delayed, and I haven’t managed to get to the gym any other time. 


Finish my current knitting project
Sadly not. With a super busy month, and a lot of my evenings spent either at the gym or doing some extra work, I haven’t had much of a chance to do my knitting. Hoping to work on lots more crafts with Christmas coming up!


Try some new recipes 
I have! I’ve cooked some really lovely things over the past month, and I’ve developed a new love for my slow cooker and making curries!


If you had any goals for October have you managed to achieve them?

    Every month on the blog I mention my favourite beauty products from the past month, but I never mention anything non-beauty related that’s been a favourite of mine.

    Remember many many many months ago I wrote about buying our first home? Well nothing happened for quite a while. Initially everything happened really quickly, our solicitor did the survey checks, we had our mortgage offer approved, were told we’d be moving in April, and then nothing. For a good two months we didn’t hear anything else about our…

    Ideal Home Show 2016

    Since I bought my little flat last year I’ve had a little obsession with all things interior design. The minute we started looking for our own place I started annoying Chris with clippings from home magazines, and by the time the sale had gone through, I had a whole Pinterest board full of ideas of…
