It's almost 2018

Well, I didn't keep up to this very well did I? At least not to keeping the blog posts going. I did keep up with doing the things I set out to do and this year has been pretty damn good.

I decided to leave the burlesque world in the end. It was causing me more of a headache than it was making me happy. I felt so much better once I dropped it and feel like it was the right choice.

I finally had my brows inked on and I have a big chunk of money for my eyeliner doing too. I didn't have my other tattoos finished but I have my new family one on my forearm and it's amazing. I have lost about a stone over the year which has stayed away. I started at the gym and was loving it til some shit kicked off and made me feel uncomfortable going there. I finished the hallway and did quite a lot of clearing out. I need to make a renewed effort really on getting rid of stuff. So much crap I don't need it's crazy. We have a big dehumidifier in the cellar too now but my wall patchwork hasn't all held up too well.

I can't quiet have a clear out at the moment because we have Rachel and Casey with us. Her stuff is all over and stashed in the cellar and in the small room upstairs so I can't get to everything. I do have a bit of a list for this year though.


Reduce use of throw away plastics.

Reduce general waste.

Have a more extensive clear out of the whole house.

Finish fixing up the cellar for storage.

At least give the Crossfit gym a go and try to lose at least another stone.

Create my farmhouse kitchen and steampunk bedroom.

Make my hygge inspired living room once Rachel has moved out, although these 3 big decor projects might be restricted by funds.

Try to find a small job. I had one this year which was a goal but it was the most boring job I have ever known in my life.


I have been embracing hygge which has helped with the winter blues a lot. I have done very well with depression this year and have very successfully dealt with a couple of bad patches so I'm really happy with that.

I think I will leave this here for now and go look at my bucket list and maybe a zero waste blog.
