50 Things I Wanted to do in 2011...Did I do them?

 So every year in January I make a list of goals for the year ahead. A mixture of big things and little things, bad habits, and new good habits I want to start. Heres my list I wrote alomst a year ago (Cannot believe this was that long ago!!!)...Lets see how I did with it.

1. Take time out to read more. 

I guess Ive done this, Ive read two books this year, and got a new book for Christmas as well as a Kindle. I still want this as a goal for next year as I think Ill be encouraged to now I have the Kindle

2. Exfoliate more often.

Oui, I exfoliate more than I used to, still not as much as I should!

3. Take breaks without nail varnish so my nails aren't so weak

Ive been getting much better at this one, my nails are in much better condition that they were last year :)

4. Drink water every day

Ha, not a single bit of improviement on this one. Naughty.

5. Go to the gym at least once a week

Another laughable one, considering I didnt go near the gym once this year.

6. Take fruit for breaks at college rather than spending a fortune in the vending machines

Well I was only at college until May, but didnt do this, and still dont do it at uni, bad Hayley.

7. Get 3 stars on every angry birds level, dont judge!

Meh, I got bored with Angry Birds, its all about Tiny Tower now!

I saw it at the Sunderland Empire on its tour of the country, so Ill say yeh I did it :)

14. Get a good camera

15. Stop burning my fingers when I light candles

Haha, this was a wierd one, but yeh I dont do this anymore.

16. Persevere with sales rails rather than being put off by them
