Cafe Review

Hello Darlings,
I don't usually do reviews, but after a gloriously sunny day meandering around Bristol I just wanted to post a little "big up" to the lovely Spicer&Cole  cafe, I whiled away a happy hour sipping a yummy iced mocha and a light and crispy chocolate pastry that knocks the socks off of anything I've had at costa coffee:



XXX Happy weekend All!

September Update

My gosh, how things have changed since this update:
http://strawberryfieldsbath.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/february-update.html

Lets see how I've been doing on my goals in the 6 months since then:

The Ones done

4.Go on a yoga Retreat: this year I combined my Boston trip with daily yoga. I would still like to go on a 'proper' retreat one day. I thought for my 31st birthday perhaps.

9.Get a job related to animals: Still not there yet, I am waiting on a response from the dream job interview though. So fingers still crossed!!

17.Travel to another Country by train: Done http://strawberryfieldsbath.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/petite-paris-diary.html

26.Make £100 selling old clothes on Ebay: Done

41. Never stop having adventures
I can now add Amsterdam to this list for 2012 after an impromptu invite from another Sarah :) we are planning much cycling, meandering, shopping and boat cruising!


The Ones Not Done

39.To not buy any clothes for 1 year (01/01/12 to 01/01/13)
This I have not done, I would say I have bought at least 10 items this year. But I feel it has made me more careful about buying clothes, and combined with selling old ones on ebay. I feel a lesson in thrift/sensible buying has been learnt!

I didn't achieve my Marathon running idea, I must admit it was pretty foolhardy. But more importantly I got very drunk twice in this week and spent a fair few hours recovering! I think I shall write this one off as an ill-advised goal http://strawberryfieldsbath.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/1-week-goal.html

51. Enter a photography competition Now here's one I let slip by 'enter a Photography Competition' but one I wish to remedy so I will be listing it as a goal for next year.

The ones I'm going to do Soon

27. To have a Christmas tree decorated entirely with food: candy canes, pomanders, gingerbread men. This is one I have no excuse not to do this year, So my plan is thus: get it done before I set off for Stockolm on November 28th: so its done for my return in December.

38. Go to a Christmas market outside of the UK Stockholm in November: Sorted!
45. Visit Chicago and find a speakeasy May 2013
29. To have my 30th Birthday in Las Vegas October 2013

Goal 25. Make £100 on Ebay

It's nice to achieve a goal before I end my week!

To my running toal of £62.50 I can add at least £43 for a lovely Ted Baker pencil dress I bought 2 years ago and have never fitted into, this money can go towards my spending money for Stockholm. Lovely!

Total: £105:50 :) Goal achieved!
