25 things I wanted to do this summer

Hi everyone, 

This post is a summer recap which is mainly based around my first ever blog post and my most popular post. I am sad to say that I have kind of failed on this challenge to complete these 25 things this summer: 

1) Be able to the splits- no chance!!! I started well but now I see very little from the difference from the beginning of summer.

2) Going on 5 runs - failed I went on 1 which was the Race for Life I failed on trying to get out of the house to go for a run. 

3) Exercise at least every other day, again it worked at the beginning and then went down hill very quickly!! I will try to do more!! 

4) Drinking around 2 litres this one I actually managed to succeed with I think, as I use a 2 litre bottle which I fill up everyday as a guide line. 

5) Starting a blog, I think this has worked I am not sure how many of the views on my stats are me though! 

I certainly need to get into a better routine on which days I post, I am going to currently put a post every Sunday as I don't think I have the time to be able to write 2 posts a week and i don't want to disappoint. 

6) Learn more French - I thought I had done ok with this one, however this was not really the case as I found out in my first class that my French was rubbish!

7) Pick up some foreign beauty products -  I picked up a lip balm I think that counts it reduces my failure! 

8) I have read all the Harry Potter's - again! 

9) I have also watched all the Harry Potter films, it is very interesting to see the films very soon after reading each book. It is remarkable how many things are done differently. 

10) I have read all the Percy Jackson books (also again) and I have finished 3 of the 4 Heroes of Olympus books and I have just started the final one until the Blood of Olympus is published in October. 

11) I have not started reading The Lord of the Rings books yet but they are on my list. 

12) To be more grateful, I hope I have succeed in doing this I felt that when living with a host family in Germany I was grateful and also at home. I think this is very much a life goal.

13)  helping around the house more, I hope I have tidied up after myself more and done things when asked. I need to be more spontaneous when helping.

14) Wearing clothes a bit more out of my comfort zone, um I have a bright orange T shirt and that is about it. 

15) To wear my bikini at least once- for once I have succeeded!! 

 16) To cook more, I think I did a few things a stir fry that overflowed over the hob is a particular memory. 

17)  To bake more I think I made one cake and I licked the bowl on other occasions if that counts!! I am inspired by the Great British Bake off though!

18) Sew badges onto my swimming towel - not moved at all still full of its pins. 

19) Meet up with friends and be more social this worked a bit but only on two occasions did I actually have anything to do with the organisation of the meeting. 

20) Be proud of the person I  am - this is always a work in progress for everyone, I think. I am improving in confidence as I have more independence in life.

21) Watch at least 5 Disney movies - I think I managed this!! 

22)  Go outside more, I think I have succeed in this my holiday has not been completely on the Internet! 

23) To clean the conservatory, with mum we have succeeded at least for now. 

24) Go to the cinema at least three times - I have been twice which for me is quite good as last year I think I went to the cinema once.

25) My 25th thing was to complete everything else above, I suppose even though from the list it doesn't sound like I had the most productive holiday I did really enjoy the break.
