Halloween or Halo-ween has been and gone and I got dressed up in fancy dress. So did my husband and his friends so they stole my thunder somewhat
but I did it and will hopefully be doing the same next year!

No. 22
Here’s my green dyed dress/top. I’ve been wearing it lots and got a few compliments on it. Dylon rocks!

Tomorrow is the big day! My outfit is almost ready. My husband has also ordered a costume so fingers crossed it will be here in time…
No. 12
I’ve been wearing my dyed green dress most of this week to work, will upload some photos of it soon!
No. 88
My mum asked me to bake her a cake for her visitors later and here is the finished article


While I was at it I did some buns/cupcakes too…

I’ve been pretty ill this last week – might even had had flu but have some antibiotics now so hopefully I’m well on the mend.
No. 8
I had a little play about with make up for Halloween and the outfit will probably include No. 33 too. I’m scared I look a bit silly but hopefully when I have my dress finished I will feel better about it – I am supposed to look a bit silly right?

No. 29
I have lost 4lbs (as of last Friday) so am on track though the sickness has probably helped. I am trying to be super good this week to get another pound or two off by this Friday.
No. 45
I tried Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup from Yoko and it was quite the success! I’m going to attempt my own version this evening hopefully. Yums.
No. 77
We’re planning to take our niece and nephew to the Zoo just before Christmas to meet Santa. We’ve never taken them anywhere before or been “in charge” of them so it’s quite exciting! I will hopefully get our places booked in the next couple of days. Ho ho ho…
No. 98
I had my second ever smear test on Friday and will hopefully get the results in the next couple of weeks.
No. 99
I sold a blouse, two dresses and pair of unworn shoes (No. 41 and see photo below) on Ebay which I was really pleased about (especially as 2 of the items sold for more than I paid for them!!). I also sold some tickets on Gumtree so I guess they don’t count – I should have putting “losing Gumtree virginity” on my list!)

I’ve had a bit of a hard week. I’m feeling a bit run down and my cold is back worse than ever but hopefully this week will be better. I’ve managed to get a few bits done for this though.
No. 8
My halo has arrived and I have new black boots that I will probably wear with the outfit too. I have a few little threads and stuff to trim and then hopefully I will be set to um… spread my wings!
No. 29
I weighed myself on Friday morning and had lost 2lbs which I am quite pleased about. Keeping it going is going to be the toughest part so fingers crossed there will be another 2 off by this Friday.
No. 33
I wore false eyelashes on Saturday with my fringe sort of swept to the side. They take some getting used to but as long as they don’t fall off, I’m happy.
No. 40
I really want these tights Lily is wearing http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1219198/Lily-Allen-reveals-racy-suspenders-knees-boyfriend.html“>but don’t know where to get them. I can find the Henry Holland ones easily enough but I don’t like them as much… the search continues!
No. 41
I wore my silver round toe shoes out on Saturday night which I hadn’t worn out before. So one pair down, about 30 million to go!
No. 88
I tried my hand at making a coffee cake last week and we had a visitor called unannounced who tried some, I guess it doesn’t really count but here’s a photo anyway

No. 92
I sent the card to my friend last week and sent my first postcrossing card today

Today is a good day. I’ve been quite busy but am meeting friends for a catch up later and then have a very relaxing/lazy weekend planned. I hope all other 101ers are still enjoying it.
No. 8
My fancy dress costume arrived!!!! The wig is a tad much I fear but the rest looks good (from what I could tell from trying it on in the office. Only another couple of accessories (and the nerve to wear it in public!) to find and I’m ready!
No. 92
I bought this card today and am going to write it and send it to her – provided I can find her exact address. Hopefully she will receive it as she used to have a less than honest postman/woman.

No. 99
I am listing bits and bobs on eBay today – so far I have a pair of shoes and a dress, I am hoping to get another few bits of clothes on by the end of the day and will tick them off my list when/if anything sells as most of them are BIN/BO rather than auction as I seem to sell too many things very cheap on the no reserve auctions. If not, they will go to auction heaven…
Day 19 – Busy, busy

I’ve had quite a busy few days list wise
No. 54
I sent off my application yesterday and now have 9 days left to send in the money and my module transript! Whether I sit the exam or not I’m still not sure but I can get a refund if I change my mind before it. Time will tell!
No. 72
I forgot that last week I entered the GMTV win £100k competition. I did it 5 times online (eager, moi?) but fear I haven’t won. Only 4 more to go!!
No. 8
I have ordered my fancy dress outfit for Halloween… more details to follow when it arrives/if it fits etc
No. 29
The biggie (quite literally weep). I’ve put on another pound or 2 since my holidays so really need to get a move on with this one. I am hoping to be dressed up in relation to No. 8 on 31st October which gives me about 4 weeks to go until then so I am setting a mini target of about 8 pounds weightloss for then (let’s call it No. 29a). I just need to eat less crap and move more often!
