Its great to know that I have the opportunity to tick off a few of these just by entering a competition, Numbers 1, 2, 6 and 9 have the chance to be accomplished by winning one of the weeks of the Hillarys facebook competition.
The other ones require a lot more work. Paying off a large overdraft in a year is quite a challenge especially when I cant work but it is a challenge that I aim to complete. Getting more social media followers takes time and that is something that I am definitely lacking at the moment especially as I focus on number 4. Building up Blogs Up North, setting up Blogger meetups at various venues and talking to different agencies about future events including the big free conference that I hope to host in the late spring.
One that I hope to tick of fairly soon is number 13. We live in a new build house and we have a serious problem with our bedroom window. Every time we put a curtain pole up it falls down, the walls are not strong enough to hold it up. I can’t sleep much longer with just a sheet over the window, especially as we come out of winter. If I can’t put curtains up I reckon the next best thing would be a blind but I cant stand slatted ones. I love the roman blinds from Hillarys, I have never seen this style of blind before and think it would work well in a bedroom. I just need to find the right colour.
