Give up chocolate for a week: check

I did it! Sunday to Sunday- without a single whiff! The thing is, now the taste's completely out of my system: I don't even want it. Crazy...

This week I'll be soaking up the rays in Turkey. But do not fear- the list will still be fulfilled, as my aim is to complete at least one challenge every week (depending on the size of it, really). So, can anyone guess what could possibly be next?

99...98...

Start a blog: check

Today is the day I begin documenting every step I take towards becoming 18, and there's no better way to do so than blogging! Aside from the rare, CANNOT-NOT-BE-BLOGGED-ABOUT incidents, the sole purpose of this blog is to motivate me in completing something extremely important to me; it isn't to go into the tiniest details of my day and my thoughts- I have a brain for that. So, anyone who wants to follow me- or even join me!- awesome... If not, hi to myself in 70 years time: the only ever reader of onebumpus' blog!

Dance in a storm: check

It was so fun! Me and Sam were sitting in her conservatory, calmly listening to the rain splattering on it's roof, in our pj's, when suddenly we thought- you know what? This is an opportunity- let's get wet!



Obviously we had to go back in before the rain destroyed the camera...
