<br />
I'm not going to set another 101 in 1001 and might leave this blog live as an archive, but I will most likely continue to record my goings-on on my <a href="http://whatcheryldid.blogspot.co.uk/">What Cheryl Did</a> blog - you can <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/4580579">follow me</a> there if you'd like to keep up with everything I get up to.<br />
<br />
For now I do have 12 days left, so lets see what I can cram into that time!</div>Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-14602903652976035402013-08-26T18:43:00.001+01:002013-08-26T18:43:50.282+01:00Movie: Disney's Planes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1673/hlxj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1673/hlxj.jpg" width="93" /></a> I can't resist a new Disney film and to have this and Monsters University out within weeks of each other makes me very happy! I got a double dose of Disney at the cinema this summer!<br />
<br />
I love Dane Cook and his comedy, so for him to voice the main character and find myself laughing when the kids didn't was actually pretty funny! I would definitely watch this again - it was so fun.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">As usual I've been making such great progress on <a href="http://misscherie101.blogspot.co.uk/p/reading-list.html">reading</a> and <a href="http://misscherie101.blogspot.co.uk/p/100-movies.html">watching</a> movies......<br />
<br />
Oops.<br />
<br />
I finished a book, a rare thing for me. I loved 'The Maze Runner' eventually and have book number 2 ready to go when I finish 'Pretties'.<br />
<br />
Did I not see one single film between March and June? Apparently not! I checked my Instagram and Facebook checkins just to be sure, no movie time. There must be something about summer, I seem to watch the most movies in those months as looking at last year's summer <a href="http://misscherie101.blogspot.co.uk/p/100-movies.html">movies list</a>.<br />

My attention span is no longer existent so I have to either be forced or find myself in the mood for movie. I was in the mood for movie after dinner last night, so we picked something not too heavy and quite predictable with 'The Vow'. I enjoyed it, I like things like this that are based on true events. I did think it ended kind of suddenly because I was sure he memory would come back, but it never did so I was disappointed. I guess if it had been a completely fictional movie and a bit more rom-commy then it might've ended differently. I wouldn't watch it again, but I do love Rachel McAdams movies so any more that she does I will definitely find the mood to watch. </div>Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-20671581127146764462013-03-03T22:11:00.000+00:002013-03-03T22:11:21.488+00:00Project 365 2013<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misscherie_xx/8435616503/" title="01-mosaic365-january-2013 by miss.cherie_xx, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8359/8435616503_2a3171ec92_m.jpg" width="300" height="300" alt="01-mosaic365-january-2013"></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misscherie_xx/8526196784/" title="02-mosaic365-february-2013 by miss.cherie_xx, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8244/8526196784_9fefe357a1_m.jpg" width="300" height="300" alt="02-mosaic365-february-2013"></a></center><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">At the end of 2012 I thought I couldn't keep going with an Instagram-365, but so far I've managed to keep at it for two more months. With some exciting plans in March, April and May I'm sure to keep Instagramming my way through those months and hopefully I can keep it up daily as well.<br />
<br />
Some days it's really difficult, people who follow me must think 'what the hell!' when I Instagram something random on my desk just before bed - it's to get that daily shot in, something, gah, pretty much anything will do at that point. Other days, when we're out and about, or if I've done/bought/finished something amazing at home then it gets a snap - those are the easy days. I have lots of easy days coming up so I just hope they outweigh the difficult ones.<br />
<br />
Are you doing Project 365? Is it your first time? Or are you into another year?</div>Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-47036324436895443782013-02-26T23:04:00.000+00:002013-02-26T23:04:09.964+00:00Movie: Wreck It Ralph<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8322/130224wreckitralph.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8322/130224wreckitralph.jpg" /></a> It's a Disney movie, it's necessary viewing for me - isn't it? And it's about video games - another of my favourite things!</div><br />
I really enjoyed it, but it was a bit of a shame that the only time convenient for us to watch was the 3D showing because we would normally go for the regular version. I think that 3D glasses over our normal glasses really isn't ideal, but we really had to see this movie before it stopped playing.<br />
<br />
The funniest thing about this movie is how I felt afterwards - all those sweets and cakes in the movie really made me hungry!Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-25499960763622403892013-02-12T20:17:00.001+00:002013-02-12T20:17:35.053+00:00Movie: Lincoln<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/9194/130211lincoln.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/9194/130211lincoln.jpg" width="93" /></a> As soon as I saw that this movie was coming out I knew I had to see it. I never studied American history in school, it's not something we did pre-GCSE at all, so my knowledge of those times comes from TV documentaries, movies and things I've read. I feel like I need to consume as much as possible about history in any part of the world, I find it fascinating. I do have a deep appreciation from British and European history but there's just something about American history I can't help but be drawn into and I want to learn as much as I can about it. That's why I wanted to see Lincoln, and that's why I'll probably - if given the change - watch that movie again. I thought it was great, so easy to forget it was acting and believe you were really watching history.</div>

James was still in bed and there wasn't anything on TV - I didn't want to watch anything we'd recorded because it was all stuff we watch together so I found myself browsing Sky On Demand for something. I sometimes find it hard to sit and watch a movie as I'm distracted with other things and my attention span isn't great, but sometimes to mood is just there and I was in the mood for a movie. I didn't exactly pick the most lighthearted story for early on a Sunday morning, but it looked quite an interesting story to watch. 'Beautiful Boy' starring Michael Sheen told the story of about a college shooting from the perspective of the shooters parents. It's not a true story but it is something that is easy to relate to true-to-life situations and the difficulties for the shooters family in the aftermath. Because I don't really watch a lot of movies it's kind of hard to know what type of movies I like to watch but I can say that I do actually enjoy a thought-provoking drama as well as Disney fluff!</div>Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-3602608048660109152013-02-02T14:00:00.000+00:002013-02-02T14:00:03.044+00:00Framing Instagram Prints<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misscherie_xx/8416418757/" title="Finished Instagram Frame by miss.cherie_xx, on Flickr"><img alt="Finished Instagram Frame" height="450" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8079/8416418757_f7d3f10829.jpg" width="450" /></a></center><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I knew that end of my Project 365 I wanted to do something with the pictures and not just keep them online, I actually wanted to print them out and frame them as a reminder of all the wonderful things we saw and did during 2012.<br />
<br />
I chose to print my pictures via <a href="http://printstagr.am/">Printstagram</a> and highly recommend the service - excellent quality prints, packaged brilliantly and delivered so quickly! They now offer ready framed prints, but I wanted to frame them myself and after finding the perfect size frame at <a href="http://www.bhs.co.uk/">BHS</a>, I was ready to go.<br />
<br />
Working out the best way to start was tricky, but how do you tile a kitchen/bathroom floor? You start from the middle and work out, so that's what I did. I ended up with a few wonky bits but once altogether the effect of the mosaic hides those tiny imperfections - plus the imperfections actually make the project truly personal and I love it.<br />
<br />
The finished frame is now hung in my office where I can gaze lovingly at it every day, I also have another set of prints and an empty frame to work on this weekend - I had printed a bunch of makeup, nail polish and manicure snaps to make up something for my dressing room. I'll probably capture a bit of a framing tutorial on how I do it and write about that on my other blog, <a href="http://whatcheryldid.blogspot.co.uk/">What Cheryl Did</a>.</div>Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-65487133688329854242013-02-02T10:00:00.000+00:002013-02-02T10:00:00.646+00:00Movie: Les Miserables<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1222/130124lesmiserables.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1222/130124lesmiserables.jpg" width="101" /></a> Another visit to London, another movie. We can watch movies in Norwich, it's actually cheaper but doing it in London just makes it more special..... We did intend to see 'Les Mis' in the Leicester Square Odeon, but the movie times didn't figure out too good when it came to getting a train back to Norwich. We ended up watching the movie at the Vue in Westfield Stratford City, the same place we saw 'The Hobbit' in December. James and I had seen the West End show of 'Les Mis' back in July when we were in London for the Olympics, it was a long show and very heavy for an audience who have no idea what the story is! So, watching the story again on the big screen meant we had a bit of an easier time enjoying the songs and really understanding the story. If you don't mind a spoiler, I really think that reading about the story or seeing the movie before the West End show is a good idea, I recommend the show so much but the movie is just as brilliant.</div><br />
I have been crying to the songs ever since and definitely want to watch this again!<br />

I find I read a lot more when travelling, I don't tend to read at home unless I'm completely engrossed in a book - this doesn't happen often. By my standards to finish this book in January is me reading very fast, although I did have some breaks that were weeks long before picking it up again.</div><br />
All that aside I am so glad I got back into this and read half of the book in less than two weeks because I had to finish it, I had to find out what was going to happen to Tris! I sped through 'Divergent' and probably would've done the same with 'Insurgent' if it weren't for my bad reading habits. Just like 'The Hunger Games' the story is something that could come true in the future of the human race, that just makes it so fascinating! The movie for 'Divergent' is out next year and book three to his trilogy is out in the autumn of 2013 - I can't wait! <br />

I want the new additions to replace those that were scrapped, so if I've got a gap in the <i>Travel</i> list then I need to think of a new travel related achievement to put in it's place.<br />
<br />
This is what I've come up with as replacements:<br />
<br />
<b>Health & Fitness</b><br />
038. Complete a 30 Miles in 30 Days Challenge<br />
<br />
<b>Creative</b><br />
053. Create a memory jar for 2013<br />
055. Frame my Instagram photos<br />
<br />
<b>Travel</b><br />
069. Spend a day at the beach<br />
074. Visit London Zoo<br />
<br />
<b>Fashion & Beauty</b><br />
080. Operation Empties - blog about each months finished products (0/8)<br />
<br />
I had to pick some things that were easily achievable since I've not got that long left to complete my list, I know I'm not going to get the full 101 but I want to get as many complete as I can in the time I have left. A couple are challenging, some will depend on situation and determination - so, let's go!</div>Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-45950529457238971952013-01-13T22:43:00.002+00:002013-01-13T22:45:09.197+00:00Follow on BlogLovin'<center><a title="Follow Miss Cherie | 101 in 1001 on Bloglovin" href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/3997405"><img alt="Follow on Bloglovin" src="http://www.bloglovin.com/widget/bilder/en/widget.gif?id=3997405" border="0"></a>

<br />
<center style="text-align: justify;"> I made it through 2012! I missed a couple of days, but I kept on going and that's the important thing - this time I didn't give up! I also took part in a couple of the <a href="http://fatmumslim.com.au/category/photo-a-day-2/" target="blank">Fat Mum Slim Photo-a-Day challenges</a> that helped get me through on uninspiring days/months. <br />
<br />
I could not have made it through without my beloved iPhone and the (sometimes controversial) app, <a href="http://instagram.com/misscheriexx" target="_blank">Instagram</a> - all the photos are generated through them both. All the pictures are now in their own <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misscherie_xx/sets/72157628766680955/" target="blank">Flickr set</a>, all my mosaics have their own <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/misscherie_xx/sets/72157632281353966/" target="blank">set</a> as well. <br />
<br />
So now what do I do with the pictures for 2012? They're lovingly saved on my phone, computer and Instagram and Flickr accounts - but what about printing them? I will probably pick a bunch of the best ones to make magnets through <a href="http://stickygram.com/" target="blank">Stickygram</a>. I did always plan to make a photobook with my 365 whenever I managed to finish a year, so maybe I can get one through <a href="http://www.keepsy.com/" target="blank">Keepsy</a>?

After about five hours of shopping we weren't quite ready to go back to the hotel and stay in all afternoon/evening, so instead we used our time to watch a movie. We had been watching the second LOTR movie in the hotel the night before so it was already on our minds and probably the only thing we wanted to see that was playing in Stratford - we chose The Hobbit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I had started to read the book years ago when the first of the LOTR movies came out, I remember my dad bought me the book - he never bought me anything all by himself, so that memory always sticks out. I didn't finish the book (shock) but had some gist of the story before going into the movie. I did my best to prepare James by telling him it was about Gandalf taking Bilbo out on an adventure with a bunch of dwarves to fight a dragon, meanwhile Bilbo picks up 'The Ring' on a meeting with Gollum. That's pretty much the first film summed up, I can't believe it's one book into three movies but I'm looking forward to the rest of the series - I forgot how much I loved the LOTR movies (the third one is on TV this weekend, I'll be watching!).</div>

Two years on and I'm still working on completing my list of 101 things, slow and steady. I've come to terms with the fact that I won't complete them all and this yearly review cannot be me changing the whole list just so I can complete all 101. For this review I'm not going to remove/replace very much, instead I'm just going to tweak some that might actually be achievable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like <a href="http://misscherie101.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/yearly-review-01.html" target="_blank">last year</a>, those that are replaced or changed count as incomplete with my money to charity pledge still standing - although this one itself will change to a lesser amount per incomplete (who knew I'd have so many incomplete, I can't afford all that! Sorry, charity...).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of the below will be getting slight tweaks:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
001. Donate £5 to charity for each mission I don’t complete</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
021. Read all the books that I own but haven’t read yet<br />
031. Order grocery shopping online 50 times<br />
044. Lose 50lbs, 10lbs at a time<br />
051. Take a photo of the same place every month for a year<br />
054. Do 'A Day In The Life' 10 times<br />
060. Have 12 'No-Buy' months<br />
062. Save £100 a month<br />
063. Buy 20 lucky dip Lotto tickets<br />
079. Buy five sets of matching underwear<br />
092. Bake brownies for someone who’s having a bad day<br />
100. List 5 things I'm grateful for once a month<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And these ones are gone to be replaced by something when the inspiration strikes me:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
038. Run a 5K</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
053. Make my own Christmas cards to send out</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
055. Make my own Christmas decorations</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
069. Spend Christmas in a different country<br />
074. Go to a Christmas market in Germany<br />
080. Have electrolysis treatment at the salon twice a month<br />
<br />
With only 9 months to go, I wonder if I'll even make it to half this list completed? Who knows, but at least I know I tried.<br />

Eat at 10 new restaurants (9/10)Savoury food on sweet waffles? Surely not! Well, it's true and I tried it. There's a very little place in Norwich called '<a href="http://www.wafflehouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Waffle House</a>' that serve a variety of main courses on top of waffles. IA group of friends from work and I visited on evening, the only option of mains that was a safe option for my unadventurous tastes was the bolognese. So strange to eat bolognese on a waffle, but I went with it.<br />
<br />
It was all about the desserts to be honest. We all went for small waffles for the mains and were larging it up for dessert. I had the yummiest butterscotch sauce on mine and it was amazing! I will definitely be going back, if only for the sweet dessert!Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-81281841410953373152012-11-15T22:11:00.001+00:002012-11-15T22:11:39.476+00:00Movie: Skyfall<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

I'd only seen one other Bond film before and that was Casino Royale so to me Daniel Craig is Bond because he's all I've known in the role.</div>
<br />
I really enjoyed the movie, but I'd forgotten how anxious I get watching movies like that which a full of peril over and over and over again! GAH! Are they trying to give me palpitations? Seriously though, I thought the movie was great and I would definitely watch it again if it happened to be on TV. I didn't think much of the Adele song from the soundtrack until I saw the opening credits, now I love it.<br />
<br />
And we can't stop singing that traditional Bond theme......Miss Cheriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01528059225203135016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234485087384045972.post-30935797573374680432012-10-31T21:17:00.002+00:002012-10-31T21:17:59.648+00:00Project 365: October 2012<center>

<div align="justify">
I've always loved the idea of turning off my phone for a week and living without texts, Twitter and all of that techy stuff we think we can't live without. Going away on holiday for a week seemed like the perfect time to give this a try!<br />
<br />
James and I went to Spain at the end of August and I turned our phones off completely from the moment we got on the plane. It meant we were far away and could not be contacted, everything a proper holiday should feel like.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">I did cheat a bit and use my phone as a camera and the hotel wifi for some Twitter action, but I couldn't receive calls and texts which was half the point of this!</span></i>
