Decisions, Decisions

I need to still buy walking gear for my Ben Nevis Mountain challenge on June 1st. The sensible person in me, knows that this is a priority, above anything else on my list.

My evil twin really wants me to spend the money driving this baby.

If I purchase the driving experience today, I get 20% off.

Mmmm, what would you do?

White Chocolate Cookies & Frenchy Phil

I was desperately thinking how I could work 'making white chocolate cookies' into my blog and then my friend Frenchy Phil rang. Frenchy it seems has had the news today that he may be made redundant. Never one to dwell on things, Frenchy has an idea of what he would like to do, if and when this happens - he will teach French to beginners. Guess who will be his first pupil? Now where's that white chocolate cookie to celebrate another task organised!

Not To Be

I rang the RSC in Stratford, as David Tennant is starring in this summer's production of Hamlet. Brilliant I thought, Hamlet is my favourite Shakespearean play, David Tennant is my favourite Dr Who, another tick off my list! Only problem is the tickets have been on sale since October of last year and it's a complete sell out. As there is nothing else I want to see this year, it looks like another task has to be put on the back burner for next year - bummer!

Today I've Been.......

Mostly making sock puppets for my You Tube video.

Finished article coming soon!

My Childhood Heroes

Of course there was Donny, Leif and even the Bay City Rollers. But one of my early childhood heroes was this guy - Tony Woodcock. He played for my beloved Nottingham Forest and was part of the championship winning side of 1978. So I have to include him in my novel, being as it's about football. Wouldn't it be cool if I could meet him at my book launch?

PS Actually wouldn't it be cool if I just had a book launch!

Where I'm At.....

So currently I'm:-

Writing my novel - Daddy's Girl - 10,004 words so far - hurrah!
Doing the Ben Nevis Mountain Challenge on the 1st of June
Reading through the BBC Top 100 reads

And just about to start:-

Learning how to play Chess
Direct a video to go onto You Tube

What I'd really like to do if I had the money:-

Work in Africa
Visit different states of America
Drive a Ferrari


The End

My Novel

Since this little fella has arrived on the scene, I've not stopped writing. Every night without fail, I'm writing at least 300 words - which makes the grand total of just over 9000 words. So he must have a magic touch, or is that just wishful thinking??!!!

Check Mate

I have to learn to play Chess at some point. Quite a hard thing to do when I've never seen the appeal of most board games. I've never even played scrabble and even if I did, then I'm sure within 5 minutes I would be seeing how many rude words I could make. So this task is going to be a toughie. But I like a challenge. So for the next week my bedtime reading is going to be Chess For Beginners - riveting stuff eh!

S-h-o-p-p-i-n-g

Captain Jack is currently guarding my purchases that I made this weekend, for my Ben Nevis climb. Unfortunately this is a small part of what I need, in order to be fully prepared for the climb on the 1st June. Whoever said the best things in life are free was definitely telling porkies!

You Tube

Okay, so I have to confess, You Tube is one of my guilty pleasures in life. I love the concept and I love the fact I can catch up on all those old forgotten programmes I watched as a child (I heart the person who has loaded 'Come Back Lucy'!). So I've registered officially on the site, in preparation to complete one of my tasks (direct a video to go onto You Tube). I'm still a little while off loading anything at this stage, but I have the idea of what I want to put on, I just have to buy the props and film the thing - all will be revealed very shortly!

But until then - here's one for you Caroline. Remember the Donny Osmond post a little while ago? Well this is another 70's heart throb, who was a sexier version of Donny and very gorgeous! God bless You Tube for giving me back the memories!
