Ah January, the month of avoiding the remains of the Christmas chocolate, drinking copious amounts of water instead of gin, and writing lists. And in true January style, I sat down the other evening and wrote my list of some of the things I want to achieve this year. Sorry about the ‘yellow submarine’ one, I really couldn’t think of anything else beginning with Y.
Discover a new place to have afternoon tea
Hire a beach hut
Visit a new city
Go dancing
Go to Edinburgh
Meet up with blogging friends
Be brave and go in the gym at David Lloyd

Buy a new sofa
Take the train to a new place
Kiss under the stars
Venture outside with the kids more often
Wear a pretty dress
Avoid watching the X factor
Find a yellow submarine
Go to the Zoo
I can already tick off ‘Go to the Zoo’ as we had our first adventure of the year when we went to Chester Zoo a few days ago. And we are staying in Bath next month, which is a new city for us. Hopefully I have chosen a good mix of travel, adventure and practicality. I feel a buzz of excitement for January and 2017. What would you have on your A to Z list ?
Yeah to visiting Northumberland ❤️
I will definitely be picking your brains nearer to the time Sam. Just looking for somewhere to stay at the moment. Our friends live in Whitley Bay and we want to visit Newcastle and possibly Edinburgh if it’s not too far away on the train x
I LOVE this list and I cannot wait to see you tick things off. LOVE the alphabet-ness too! x
Thanks Donna, hopefully have a fully ticked off list by the end of the year x
Wow, what a good idea to make a list. It’s nice that some are really easy and achievable and some are more exciting. I really don’t know what would be on my list – other than get a new ensuite bathroom!
Thanks Sarah, we had the idea for an A to Z list when we went out with the kids over Christmas. Ensuite bathroom could either be E or B x
This is a great list. I’d love to achieve quite a few of these too x
Thanks Sharon. I love doing lists which mainly involve boring things to do around the home. Nice to have a list filled with some exciting things x
Oh love this list. I actually work near Ribby Hall and have never ever been. I tell all my work colleagues to stay there when they come up Norf too. Definitely go to Edinburgh and take me with you 😉
We have stayed at Ribby Hall twice when Morgan was little, but I am longing to stay in the hotel and go in the spa. Maybe we need a bloggers day out there x
Good luck finding that yellow submarine. Your spa days sounds brilliant.
Thankfully we live 20 minutes away from Liverpool, and I am pretty sure there must a yellow submarine somewhere in the city x
A great list Tracey and you wont regret London at Christmas, I was lucky enough to manage 2 visits this year and I loved it. And Edinburgh is on our list too we haven’t been for a couple of years and loved it last time x
I loved seeing all of your pictures, and also Donna’s of London at Christmas. The lights everywhere are just so pretty. I am thinking of taking the kids between Christmas and New Year rather than just being attached to the sofa eating chocolate x
such a wonderful list, good luck achieving it all.
Aw thanks Rachel, I will probably do a 6 month update in the summer x
