At the beginning of the year, I always like to set myself a couple of little goals. Nothing  too big, just a few things that I would like to achieve throughout the year, and I thought that I would tell you the five things that I would like to achieve during 2024 and whether or not I managed to achieve 2023’s goals.

Anyway, that’s enough of me rambling, here’s five things that I would like to achieve in 2024.

A picture of me wearing a pair of Ray Ban RB3364-62 Sunglasses, a Williams & Brown Pink Long Sleeve Oxford Shirt, a Jacamo Burnt Orange Long V-Neck T-Shirt, a pair of Lincoln Brown Straight Fit Bedford Cord Trousers, and a pair of Dobell Red Patent Contemporary Dress Shoes.

1. Celebrate my Blog turning ten years old.
In October my Blog will turn ten years old, I still can’t believe that i’ve been rambling on here for ten years now, and I would love to commemorate it in some way, shape or form. The only trouble is that i’m not entirely sure how to celebrate it just yet.
2. Use up some of my massive Lush collection.
It’s no secret that I own quite a lot of Lush products, and even though i’ve been trying to use quite a lot of them up over the past twelve months, I would love to use even more of them up and get to a point where I just own the things that I truly love using.
3. Discover a few new Restaurants.
I love Food, in fact some of my favourite Events over the past ten years definitely have to be any that involve reviewing a Restaurants new Menu, but i’ve become quite stagnant when it comes to the Restaurants that I eat at whilst i’m out and about. So I would love to discover some new and interesting Restaurants, whether that’s a fully-fledged Restaurant, a Counter in some kind of a Food Court, or just a random Burger Van.
4. Finally finish watching some of the many TV Shows that i’ve started.
I basically have every Streaming Service known to Man and am constantly starting new Series but never finishing them. So I would love to finish some of the many different TV Shows that i’ve started watching instead of having an endless watchlist of half-finished Shows.
5. See more Live Music.
Even though I regularly go to the Theatre to watch some kind of Musical, it occurs to me that I don’t actually go to watch that many Artists or Bands perform live. So I would love to see some more Live Music, whether that’s a household name, a Local Band, or some kind of an emerging Artist.

There you go, that’s the five things that I would like to achieve in 2024, but did I manage to achieve 2023’s Goals?

Well yes and no, as I managed to achieve three out of five of them, which I don’t think is too bad.
1. Finally get Kiwi the Parrot to interact with people.
Unfortunately I didn’t manage to achieve this one. Kiwi has massively improved since I got him and does occasionally say hello, squark at me when I talk to him, and even sometimes sing to me. But he still won’t let anyone, including me, anywhere near him, squarks whenever anyone apart from me sits with him, and refuses to go back into his Cage unless he’s been caught.
2. Promote the Blog a little bit more.
Don’t get me wrong, I could definitely stand to promote the Blog a little bit more. But at least i’m now regularly posting my Posts to Bluesky, Pinterest and Threads, where as I would previously only post to Facebook, Instagram and X. I still haven’t written for any other person’s Blog or Publication though, but I like the freedom of writing for my own Blog as I get to say exactly what I want.
3. Have some kind of an Experience Day.
Unfortunately I haven’t managed to achieve this one just yet, although hopefully i’ll manage to do something really cool soon.
4. Get back into Finger Knitting.
I didn’t manage to achieve this one either, as with me writing and reviewing things non-stop as well as looking after Kiwi, I just haven’t had the time or inclination to do it.
5. Shop at more Local and Small Businesses.
I also managed to achieve this one too, as even though I could still stand to shop more locally, i’ve discovered quite a lot of Local and Small Businesses that I love to shop at.
There you go, that’s the five things that I would like to achieve in 2024 and whether or not I managed to achieve 2023’s goals.
