It's been a while since I last wrote here... too much to recap really! It's been a lovely hot summer, Alex visited in June/July, our beautiful girls are now 2 (where did that time go?!) So, I guess I might write some goals/wishes/dreams down!
Firstly, no more namby-pambying about! I have put on a bit of weight, tis crunch time now - goal 1 is 65kgs, goal 2 is 60. Secondly, sort my silly head out - hopefully CBT will help me 'retrain' my brain and make life better for myself and those I love :) There's so much I would like to achieve work-wise and life in general-wise, I need to learn how to get past the 'blocks' in my mind to make them happen :)
There are a number of little projects I'm thinking of trying, the main 2 at the moment will be long-running ones I think:
1. Research and write down as much as I can about my Great Uncle Geoff; for my own benefit and the family in general - and especially for the girls, when they're older to know about him. Hopefully when Dad visits next, we can sort out a trip to Etten/Gendringen and meet up with people there, and visit Uncle Geoff & his crew's graves.
2. I would really like to learn how to decorate cakes; 3D fondant ones in particular (though the equipment won't be cheap....not least of all a KitchenAid mixer!) I would love to make a Totoro cake for the girls, and a cat one! There are some awesome ideas on the Wilton website (though it's US-based and doesn't ship to the UK (boo!) :( ...But if nothing else, I can already make a decent cake, so that's maybe 40% of it achieved already :P
3. Stop reading crap on t'internet, start learning more! (Ok, cat/history/sciencey stuff excluded :P )
4. Try to update this blog at least every 2 weeks :)
