The year that was 2009

Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | Life

So that was 2009… well I guess I should do my final update on my 2009 continuations, you can read about them here if you like but I’ll summarise it all any way. If your really that keen I did a couple of updates through the year that you can also have a browse through.. April 2009 update and September 2009 update.

So firstly a continuing theme of seeing more live music.. Really enjoying this and plan to carry it on through 2010, I’ve already got a few gigs lined up most notably and excitingly is the wonderfully talented Norah Jones! To see what I’ve done this year and in previous years and also what I have planned for 2010 have a look at my Gig list.

Simplifying and de cluttering… it’s happening…It’s a long arduous process but I’m getting there, this shall continue. The table and beer fridge are still hot spots! The endless cleaners and toiletries have been whittled down, but I still have a mountain of moisturiser to carry me through 2010!  I almost failed on the not buying any new footwear but the lovely boots I purchased didn’t fit quite right so they were returned.  However 2010 will see me buying some wellington boots!

Another of my goals for 2009 was to clear my credit card debt.. de cluttering and selling stuff has help me on my way and in September I managed to clear all my credit card debt.  I’m continuing to save my £2 coins and I have an estimate £170. I decided not to open the tin as it wasn’t full so I will continue to save until it’s full up.

Small change, while I have collected my small change the tin is no where near full, in some respects I should be disappointed at not collecting more, but lets face it if I’m not spending I’m not getting any change so that has to be good right?

I’m loving the old style life, cooking from scratch, growing my own fruit and veg, using natural cleaning stuff, mending and for Christmas making various hampers for family.

I’m doing so much cycling and my kickboxing class, but my mentality is “if I’m exercising I can eat what I want” this doesn’t work in the long term goal of loosing weight. Now while I have shifted a stone this year it’s really not as much as I had hoped and wii fit didn’t see the light of day!

De cluttering my computer files is still on going, but a lot of duplicate files have been eradicated.

So that’s about it for 2009… I feel overall it was a successful year

Oh actually I failed the 250 in 365 challenge… but it was fun when I had the motivation.. watched some good movies I hadn’t seen before and watched some old favourites again.. This will feature in my 2010 continuations.
