How Did I Get On With My 2017 New Years Resolutions?
So, i've been pretty lax on the blog lately, so i'm going to start off 2018 with the recap on last years New Years Resolution/Goal/Plans list.
I set myself a list of 50 things I wanted to do in 2017, and, sadly, I didn't quite manage to complete them, I dare say thats down to the fact we went on seven holidays despite saying we were going to go on less and focus on the house!

27. Get back into stock photography
30. Organise our memories
31. Scrapbook the year
34. Keep on top of the blog!

37. Visit Icecream Parlours
38. Beamish
39. Upload more to Redbubble
40. Make the most of our slush machine in summer!
45. Make a sandcastle
So as you can see, there were 13 goals I didn't manage to achieve,
7. Declutter
We did make a start on this, and we filled our green bin two or three times over with the amount of stuff we got rid of.
We're finally getting our loft all boarded out this month so once thats done we can get serious about decluttering again and go through every box before we transfer it from the backroom to the loft.
13. Visit Whitby
We never made it to Whitby, all our money and spare time in the summer was spent preparing for holidays or actually on holiday.
15. Go To Mog on the Tyne
We never managed to set up plans with friends due to work commitments!
18. Use the graphic tablet more
I ended up lending it to my brother for a while then never had any motivation or inspiration to use it again after that.
22. Build a snowman
Not enough snow.
27. Get back into stock photography
Didn't have the time to think up some stock standard photo ideas.
30. Organise our memories / 31. Scrapbook the year
I did say a while back in a previous blog post this one probably wouldn't happen. 😅
34. Keep on top of the blog!
It was going pretty well up until the holiday clump, we took three holidays in the space of six or seven weeks and I never got back into the swing of blogging after we got back.

39. Upload more to Redbubble
Didn't have the time to think up some stock/sale standard photo ideas.
40. Make the most of our slush machine in summer!
We didn't really have a lot of spare time in the summer, we were hardly ever in the house so never got a chance to set the machine up this year!
45. Make a sandcastle
We did spend some time at the beach last summer, what with living a 15min or so walk away from the sea front but we never spent long enough there to build a castle, the tide was in pretty much every time we visited too!
I'll hopefully be back with another blog post soon!
Probably on my goals for 2018.. once I finally figure out what those are.
