The Sunday Post #3 – The Five Year Journal

Every year I usually buy myself a new diary for the upcoming year. Usually one with a space to write on each day with things I’m up to, upcoming birthdays and other important dates. This year I decided to be a bit different and instead of just buying a years dairy, I would buy myself a five year journal. I’ve heard a bit about these before, and if you look on Amazon you can find a variety of different ones. But I decided to go with this one where you would write a line a day for five years.

I’m really enjoying spending every evening before I go to bed filling this in with my favourite things that have happened that day. I didn’t order this until a week into the new year, so I had to go back a bit to fill in the first few days of the book, but since then I’ve been filling it in every night. It doesn’t feel like much at the moment, especially as some days I haven’t done a lot, but I try to think forward to five years time when I’ll be looking back on this and can read through things that maybe were important or made me smile. I think this book is a great idea, and would also make a great gift for someone! I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen over the next five years.

    A few days ago I saw a tweet a few days ago involving a mystery that needs to be cracked. From this Tumblr account it seems to suggest something is invading cities like Tokyo and New York. A photo shows something large and purple but the photos aren’t very clear. I have no idea what it could be, but it’s a…

    On Friday evening I attended the Herts Bloggers Xmas Party at Pizza Express in St Albans organised by the lovely Sarah and Scarlett. I love blogger meet ups and events, especially as it gives you the chance to meet fellow bloggers, have a chat and really get to know the blogger behind the blog. Of course this one…

  • Treating My Furry Friends

    It’s no secret, I love cats. I have four and I treat them like they’re my children. In fact I often carry them around and call them ‘cat babies’, much to their protesting. Because I like to care for my furry friends I thought it would be nice to treat them to a new toy. When they were…

    Quite a while ago I set myself a 25 before 25 challenge, which completely managed to slip my mind until recently. In three months time I will be 25, so I thought now would be a great time to revisit what I set for myself, and see how far I’ve got on.   1- Move Out I wanted…
