Plus, we cannot remember what we watched of an evening before this challenge began!
23: Travel on the Eurostar - Completed 17th February 2012
Travelling on the Eurostar to get to Paris, it was the first time I had been on here. The journey there was long and eventually I got restless, but the way back was more relaxing so overall a pleasant experience!

17: Set off chinese lanterns - Completed 1st January 2012
New Years Day was the perfect time to complete this challange but, boy, did it take some doing! It was quite a windy night so to avoid the telephone lines, parked cars and rooftops was a challenge in itself! We lit four altogether but only three successfully worked.

15: Blog 101 times - Completed 19th October 2011
Technically, I didn't really think this one through as athough this would have been a challenge, I didn't take into account my 365 Day Photo Challenge, which helped in totting up the number of posts I have done. Still, I have this many posts and long may I continue!
14: Drive on a motorway - Completed 16th October 2011
For obvious reasons, there is no picture for this! But being a new driver, I was determined to learn the motorway route, so I picked up and brought back my son from his Granparents, meeting at Cambridge services.

I have not actually ever bought my own TV! When I moved to my flat, my Mum bought me my pink tv, then when it broke, my Nan gave me her old TV, but it has been on its way out for a year now so it was on the cards that me and Dean would purchase a brand spanking new TV! Ta-dah!
12: Buy Jacob a new winter wardrobe - Completed 14th October 2011
This had to be a challenge, as my son had not had any new clothes for about two years! He is so tiny that he never grew out of them plus when he started school last year, he spent more time in his uniform than in ordinary clothes! Still it felt great to buy him a new winter wardrobe and actually have some refreshing pictures of him parading around in them!
