No. 15 Try 10 new foods (2/10)

No. 23 Eat in 10 restaurants I have never been to before (1/10)

No.57 Go on ten ‘dates’ with my husband (1/10)

There is a little restaurant called The Loch Ness Inn near my parents house. It use to be The Lewiston where I worked on the bar at Christmas time. It stood empty for years and then last year was refurbished. Matt and I went there last week for my birthday , a lovely little cosy restaurant! It was lovely and I tried Seatrout and Aspargus. Both were lovely and will be trying them again!

Day Twenty-One

No. 12 Do Pilates

No. 13 Take an exercise class once a week for 3 months (1/12)

No. 80 Do three things I have never done before (2/3)

Last night was my first night at Pilates. I really enjoyed it and looking forward to toning up my post baby body!!

No. 44 Make 10 new friends (1/10)

I had to think how do you class a 'new friend', so I decided when I put their number in my phone, they are a new friend! I have been going to Baby Cafe for a few weeks now, I am planning to meet up with one of the girls on Thursday so I now class her as a new friend!

Day Thirteen

2009-09-21T09:41:00.002+01:00

I have not kept on top of my posting last few days so going to update what I have achieved so far.

No.65 Have a professional photo shootdone of Imogen

We went on Saturday but they were running 50 minutes late so by time we got in there, Imogen was very grumpy and tired. Which was a shame as she had been so smiley beforehand! Never mind, going back in November and trying again!

No.69 Watch 50 films (1/50) The Secret Life of Bees

Matt and I watched 'The Secret Life of Bees' I had been wanting to watch this for a while. I had read the book and really enjoyed it. The film did a good job of telling the story, and I had forgotten how emotional it was in places!

No.83 Straighten my hair every day for a week (7/7)

I am really bad for tying my hair back every day, so I had it cut into a short bob and I have had to straighten it everyday! It is actually quite nice leaving the house knowing my hair looks reasonably presentable!!

No. 97 Start a conversation with someone new at toddler group

This was really easy actually, when you have a 5 week old baby in your arms, you can to talk anyone!!

Photoshoot done of all three of us.

Day Three -

No. 80 Do three things I have never done before (1/3)

Today Imogen and I went to our first baby massage, I loved it! Imogen wasn't so sure! She liked the massaging just wasn't keen on lying on the floor and wanted to be picked up!! I am sure it will get better as the weeks go by. Looking forward to making it part of our daily routine and hopefully will help her with her wind. Hopefully will make some new friends out of it, that will be another thing to tick off on my list!
