August monthly bucket list

August Bucket List time!

I can’t believe it’s August already. The kids have been away since the start of the school holidays and are away for the rest of this week. We’ve taken advantage of this by getting some jobs done in the kitchen!
My July bucket list went quite well, for a change 🙂 Here’s how I did:

Have a BBQ for my 40th birthday

We did and I had a lovely time 🙂

Go to Damon’s on my actual birthday

This didn’t happen. I felt guilty about how much money I spent on the BBQ that I couldn’t spend another £50-£60 for a meal out.
We bought frozen pizza instead and enjoyed a night together in front of the TV!

Tidy the garden before the birthday BBQ

We got lots done and it looked really nice for the BBQ 🙂

I really want to get the floor down in the kitchen (this one is staying on every month until it’s done!)

Yay!! We’ve made a start! When we started emptying the kitchen to do the floor we decided it needed freshening up first with some paint. We then decided that the open shelving we had up, to display our pretty tea cups and other things on was lovely but not very practical.
We need more storage so we took them down, packed away the pretty things and bought a new corner cabinet.

It’s given us loads more space. I can’t wait to get the kitchen reorganised when the floor is finished. We can now get the wine bottles off the counter and in the cupboard. We also have a space for the chopping boards and food covers that didn’t really have a home before. They were just left on the side, making it look messy.

Ant’s working on the floor as I type and I can’t wait to see it all done, it’s going to look so lovely 🙂

Get at least 450 of the 900 blog posts categorised

I’ve got about 200 done I think. Still working on it! I’ve been working on the SEO of the blog posts as well though, which takes lots of time and is the reason I’ve only got 200 done.

Watch seasons 3 and 4 of Charmed

I didn’t watch any charmed last month but I did watch season 2 and we’re on season 3 now of Call the Midwife. It’s one of our favourite shows 🙂

I’m not doing a list for August because we’ve done a summer bucket list, which is going to keep me busy enough!
