This keeping up with what day I’m on is really difficult!
January was a bit of a crappy month to be honest but he ended well so hopefully that’s a sign for the year ahead.
I have a bit of a secret which might help with tasks No. 7 (sandcastle), No. 16 (jump into swimming pool), No. 17 (paddle in the sea), No. 22 (song lyric in the sand), No. 27 (fabulous spa), No. 31 (bikini wax), No. 36 (new cocktails), No. 44 (new foods), No. 60 (visit outside Europe), No. 71 (visit new beaches), No. 79 (travel on a boat) and No. 82 (travel on a plane). And maybe more (probably scuppering any chance of No. 101 in the process)
More to be revealed soon, hopefully!
Day 83 – I think!

These days are going in so quickly I can hardly keep up! I’ve sent quite a few postcrossing cards now and am getting quite into it. I received a fantastic card the other day from a girl in Helsinki – she sent me a shoe themed card with a shoe stamp – how fab is that?!
No. 33
The false eyelashes were in force again this weekend! I’m getting my fringe trimmed tomorrow so I can make the most of them I think!
Top tips
1. Look down at the mirror when fixing them
2. Put them over make up – no mascara on afterwards though maybe a little eyeliner to blend them in
3. Use tweezers to bad them bown onto your eyelid
No. 34
I’m getting more used to my teeth and am definitely getting them out more as ’twere for photos. Hopefully I can avoid the cost of braces then!
No. 62
I spent the weekend in Manchester which was lovely! I had a cocktail during my trip but can’t remember the name so can’t mark it off my task list really…
No. 67
I uploaded a couple of holiday videos to YouTube a few weeks ago that I’d forgotten about so can mark 2 off here.

No. 36
So in relation to No. 61 I tried four new cocktails on Friday night. I tried:
Basil Grande
A living classic – Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur and Grand Marnier shaken with fresh strawberries, cranberry juice, fresh basil and black pepper
Long Vodka
A double shot of Ketel One Vodka combines sublimely with fresh lime, sugar syrup and lemonade in an Angostura rinsed glass to create this true classic
Lemon Tart
A gloriously crisp and refreshing drink combining Ketel One Citroen Vodka, Old Fashioned Bitters, fresh lemon and sugar
Ciroc Sling
A refreshingly long drink with Ciroc Super Premium Vodka, Cointreau, fresh ginger, Seville orange marmalade, pressed apple, sugar and lime
All of them were gorgeous, I have a couple of photos somewhere I will upload soon!
No. 61
I met up with four internet weirdies on Friday, only one of whom I’d met very briefly a long time ago. We had a lovely meal and then went for drinks and I had a really great time and I might even be able to mark of part of No. 64
