January month in numbers...

Thirty one days gone in what seems like five minutes. A good start to a numerical themed post right? Christmas now seems like a distant memory and the new pjs have had more than one outing.

So, what other numbers have I encountered this month?

9st 6lb - My weight at the start of the month. Still need to stay away from the pies if I am to fit in my wedding dress.

-4. The coldest temperature recorded this month. Coincidentally we also had 4 days of snow. Not enough to build a snowman though. Not even a tiny one.

6 - The number of books read this month. Including one Christmas present; The latest in the Gyles Brandreth Oscar Wilde series. A great read if you like light hearted nonsense crime thrillers to read on cold winter nights.

3 - The number of participants at a new years eve party. 12:38am was the time I went to bed. And yes, I am wearing my dressing gown in this picture.

1+1 - The number of churches and reception venues booked for my wedding next year. This is the only sneak peak you are getting...

3 - The number of jobs my wonderful DIY Dad did at my fiances house to enable me to nest more comfortably.

6 - The number of people at a lovely meal my fiance took us to to thank Dad for the DIYing.

4 - The number of different cakes eaten at afternoon tea to celebrate a friends birthday. There were also 3 types of sandwich and 1 type of scone. Not going to help the pie loss.

2 - The number of new lampshades purchased and tried on. I will let you guess where they were positioned for the second photograph! 

3 - The number of stitching projects completed. 4 cushions, 4 sofa arm covers and 1 bathroom blind.

4 - The number of hydrotherapy sessions attended this month. I'm now going twice a week to try and stretch out my wonky leg and chicken arms. Forget 'sweating for the wedding' I'm 'stretching for the wedding'. It makes a huge difference to my flexibility and pain levels especially in these freezing months.

So that's the numbers for this month, I think I've done quite well to remember them all. Only eleven more months to go!

If you would like to join in and share your own month in numbers then pop over to Julie's blog and read the tutorial.

See you next month if not before!

Januarys month in numbers...

This year I promised myself faithfully that I would participate in the 'Month in numbers' challenge over on Julie's blog.
So far I'm doing well...
1 = The number of train journeys undertaken this year. I used to travel by train a lot but since having my own car train travel has become somewhat of a novelty.
2 = The number of new years eves I celebrated in one night. The friends we were with had guests from Romania staying too, due to the time difference we had to celebrate twice.

3 = The day I went back to work. Waaaay to early.

£7 = The number of pounds my new and quite possibly favourite dress cost me to go out for a fancy dinner.

4 = The number of monthly challenges I have completed so far. I'm doing well. Yay me.

4 = The number of badminton sessions attended this year so far. I am improving. The frying pan shots have reduced and I've even bought my own racket.

30 = The number one of my best friends turned this month. *sigh* I remember those days.

1 = The number of mini breaks booked. Mini break! Yay!

6 = The number of Instagram photos created. I may have become a little addicted to this app.

10p = The price paid for some postcard inspired humour.

Far too many = The number of cakes consumed at afternoon tea at Dalston Hall Hotel to celebrate the birthday mentioned above.

2 = The number of books read this month. Both of these titles were purchased purely because of their beautifully illustrated covers. I am now proud to say they have been read and can return to the bookshelf feeling like they have achieved their intended purpose.

I'm going to try and scrapbook this years 'month in numbers'. Given my past history with keeping up to date with challenges I'll let you know how that goes.

Now to start collecting next months numbers...
