Week 2: Am I going against fate?

Week two of the day zero project and already I am experiencing the 'wall'. Its actually proving harder than I thought, maybe its been one of those weeks where time slips by & before you know it its Sunday. I think I'm also on the back foot, because I've either failed at achieving a challenge or I've gone against what fate may have sent my way....

Item 57 on the list was go to Wimbledon and watch a tennis match. I'm a huge tennis fan, especially of the mens games (it has nothing to do with the Roddicks legs or Nadals 'guns' I promise!) & every year whe wimbledon is on, I'm swearing that next year i'm going to be there, fanning myself on centre court - cos obviously the sun gods would be shining. So last October, I entered the ballot and low and behold I had notifcation that I had been allocated tickets for the semi finals on centre court......... but the only hitch is that they are for the ladies semis. Now not to be ungrateful but it does seem to be money I don't have being blown on tennis I don't actually follow. So, I've made the brave decision to go against fate and let them go. Part of my Wimbledon experience will now be more than likely spent queuing up from silly o clock next year.... hope its not a tick I fail to achieve due to my meddling with fate.... time will tell I'm sure.

I went away for the weekend to Bristol & had a super time. Laughed, drank, ate & danced (repeat to fade) my little socks off so I managed to slurp a few cocktails, another work in progress tick. Need to add a small something though....... I had given up chasing boys for lent in the hope it would kickstart me for the rest of this project, but due to the influence of aforementioned cocktails, I fell off the lent wagon in spectacular style. RUBBISH! Do I feel I learnt from my slip up, honestly? No. One thing I've probably learnt already in the early stages of this journey is that you can't alter human make-up. That may be a work in progress for a long time to come.

Before I go, one bit of exciting news resulting from my project, remember last week I told you in order to make my appreciation known more I had written to my favourite author? Well he only replied didnt he! Albeit a short a sweet oneliner, but he called me ace so thats more than fed my little ego. Being nice pays kids.

So.... short and sweet from little old me this week. Have decided that in order to tackle the items on the list I need to make another smaller sublist (told you I had an addiction) each week to make some progress otherwise this blog is going to make for pretty dull reading (if its not already!)

Have a great week! x
