Counting down— if you’re one of my Twitter pals, you’re probably sick of me talking about my lust for chocolate by now, but it’s less than 10 days until the end of Lent, i.e. the day my chocolate addiction can get back on track! It’s a small achievement, but I’m so proud of myself for getting this far. I keep looking longingly at Kit Kats & Crunchies in the kitchen cupboards, but I know I can’t fail now! I’m looking forward to Lindt bunnies, Lindor milk truffles, Maltesers, ridiculously luxurious hot chocolates &– well, anything chocolatey, as you can imagine. These are all on my “to bake” list too: one, two, three, four & five. (I won’t make them all though, through fear of giving myself diabetes!)

101 in 1001— I’ve managed to complete some more of my goals, by giving blood, starting the Make-Up Manual feature & getting new Moo (business) cards & I’m still working towards completing 6 months of being on time to work & Friday Feeling posts, reading the entire ‘Confessions of Georgia Nicholson’ series, watching all 10 series of Friends, plus a few other things. I’m looking to add some more targets that are a little less lengthy (i.e. it won’t take 6 months to complete!), but I’m not having much success. Do you have any inspirational ideas?

The next few weeks— movie nights with wine & popcorn (& CHOCOLATE!), bbq’s, days off, road trips, nights out, girlie nights in, new friends, cocktails, Paris, photos, fun. I can’t wait!

Sponsorship— I’m not going to lie to you- this is a shameless plug. A shameless plug for charity. I’m running 5-10km for the British Heart Foundation in June & I’m still looking for sponsors- a few of you have already done so (& thank you!), but I’m throwing a shameless plug out there for the rest of you!
