Things to do before you're 30: Task 4 COMPLETE

As previously mentioned, task four of my 'things to do before you're 30' was to spend a maximum of £5 on an outfit to wear at Jake's house warming party. I had a good look around Kenilworth charity shops on Saturday afternoon, and I was struggling to find clothes cheap enough. That was until I stepped into the 'Cat's Protection League'. I knew I had struck gold when I saw a perfect pair of brown cords (every charity shop's flagship product) for £2. After trying on a few different tops, I settled on a long sleeve t-shirt for just £1.50. That left me a whole £1.50 under budget, so I decided to accessorise. I found a fantastic scarf and belt for just 50 pence each, the perfect additions to my great new look. So I went to the party in my £4.50 outfit, and nobody said a word. Task four accomplished.

Silverstone

Yesterday Dad and I went to Silverstone to race Lotus Exiges around the southern part of the grand prix circuit. It was a wet and windy day, but it didn't stop us from having a great time. We did two sets of 4 or 5 laps with an instructor telling us how to get the most out of the car. We then swapped seats, and the instructor took us around for a lap each. He was rather quick. I now really really want a Lotus. My 30th birthday is coming up!

Things to do before you're 30: Task 4

I have based the February task on one of Joe's ideas. The plan is to go to Jake's house warming party on Saturday wearing only clothes that I have purchased from charity shops using a very limited budget. So the question is: What should the budget be? Should the budget extend to cover shoes and underwear? Should I look for a particular theme of clothing? I'll be shopping on Saturday, so if you have some ideas, add a comment!

Livin' La Vida Loca

I'm currently living the 'crazy life' working in Spain for a month, travelling back home at the weekends. However last weekend Clare came out to visit, and we spent a couple of days wandering around Madrid, eating lots of bad food and having a few cervezas. Scorchio!
