Happy New Year!
I have never been a 'new year new me' person, and kind of find that sort of thing a bit corny. I genuinely cringe scrolling through Facebook looking at status after status all saying the same sort of new year things.
Don't get me wrong - I'm all for people trying new things and changing parts of their life that they want too - go for it! Just less of the Facebook status please ;)
I've welcomed 2017 drinking Lemsip, getting through a box of tissues a day blowing my nose and generally sat in bed feeling ill and sorry for myself.
Not the best start - especially as I'm heading for London on Wednesday for The Cursed Child Harry Potter sequel play! I managed to get tickets for it over a year ago after being late for work whilst I sat number 12000 in the queue online, and now the wait is almost over - I'M ILL.
Thanks life. Thankyouuuuu.
So despite this bit of a crappy start to the year I'm actually feeling pretty refreshed and ready for anything.
Like I said I'm not one to change things every year and neither do I think I have to (you won't see me getting a gym membership believe me, haha).
I really want 2017 to be the year that I do - or at least try my best to do - all the things I say I'll 'get round to doing.'
I want less things to be thoughts and wishes and start being things that I've done.
Starting a bit more extreme, my boyfriend and I this week are booking ourselves a holiday to Iceland!
We've always wanted to visit and are always looking at pictures online and places to stay etc and after a couple of trips to different travel agents, we've picked the best deal and are going into town to book it.
SO EXCITED.
Last year for his 21st I bought my boyfriend a GoPro and we've made it our little goal to get as many selfies as we can on it with different views in the background as we can to have up on a wall when we have our own house. We have already taken a little trip to Dartmoor and climbed up Haytor (see below) but just IMAGINE the ones we could get in Iceland! Ahhh.
We also would like to go for a weekend away nearer the end of the year to Scotland as I've never been but would like too to see the Harry Potter film locations - of course - and Edinburgh just looks so pretty!
Anybody been and can recommend any must see places??
On the smaller side I've been spending my time in bed ill to do a little social media clean.
Followers are not the most important thing, but I definitely always used to think they were so with the help of a few apps I've been going through my Instagram and unfollowing spam accounts and any people that aren't returning follows, plus things that I'm just not interested in anymore.
Not necessarily people as that's a little harsh but you know those accounts I mean 'click this link for more followers' blah blah blah.
I would much rather loose a few followers but enjoy what I'm seeing when I scroll rather than a lot of adverts and virus links.
P.S leave your Instagram handles below in the comments and I'll be sure to follow.

Cleaning and organising hasn't just been happening virtually, I've also been trying my best to go through all the bits and bobs 'I might someday use' or 'I'll probably wear that' and giving them to charity to putting them online to sell.
I'm currently out of a job for a couple of months so I wanted a little more cash to take with me on days out etc and so far it's not only de-cluttering my wardrobe and bedroom but has also made me over £100 already!
The secret is to find a lot of nice quality things to sell - but price it all reasonably. That way it's more likely to sell, so you're getting rid of more plus making yourself some money and small amounts soon add up. I definitely recommend giving this a go if you have a lot of clothing you never wear or things you never use.
Theres definitely a lot to look forward to this year - starting with my 21st birthday at the end of January when I'm taking a trip to London for the weekend to visit all the famous sights, I meaaan I live in England and have never ever visited the capital of my own country?! I'll be sure to take a few blog photos and I'll for sure be Instagramming the weekend so keep an eye out on both.
I hope you all are having the best start to the year and have or have already made plans for things you really want to do.
I can't wait to read all your posts throughout the year on what you've been up to.
Yay!
Molly
