Blog 29 - Tweet tweet!

Right only 6 weeks left and 13 challenges left and I am starting to panic slightly! So to get another one crossed off the list I thought I would attempt the twitter challenge.

The twitter challenge made the list as I have a job in marketing and work with social media a lot, so I wanted to experiment to see what would get a tweet retweeted. I toyed with different ideas of what to tweet whether to be obvious or be more obscure. I wrote a number of normal tweets with only a couple of re-tweets here and there. The tweets I write that are connected with work had more success, but the challenge I set was for a personal tweet. So I thought I may as well try the direct approach! After a couple of hours it had only managed 20 retweets so I panicked and sent a joke; Which dog needs to wear glasses? A cock-eyed spaniel! This only had about 15 re-tweets funnily enough!

With a bit more patience and help from friends and colleagues, I finally got the one tweet re-tweeted 42 times, thus completing another challenge.

So I have now completed 28 challenges and the 12 challenges left are as follows;

1) Write 40 Blogs - This is Blog 28

6) 40 sit ups every day - I have kept this up although wasn't able to do them for a couple of days when I had my stomach injury after the Mudrunner!

7) Learn a 40 Move Dance Routine - I have booked a dance teacher for next week to start learning a routine.

10) Take 40 photos - I'm taking photos of each of the challenges!

14) Have 40 Dates with my Husband - We have had 30 dates and are trying to squeeze in 10 more!

15) Learn a top 40 hit on the Ukelele - I am practising like mad and got some tips from ukelele players but at the moment I am still rubbish!

20) Party with 40 Friends - I will be having a party around my birthday.

21) Put £40 on black in a casino - still need to do this.

26) Lose 14 pounds - I am still working on this!!!!

34) Attempt to break a World Record - I am still coming up with a shortlist for this and need to attempt it.

35) Cook 12 new recipes - I have made 8 new recipes and still need to do 4 more.

40) Get 40 people involved in challenges to do with me - I have somehow managed to get 37 mad people to join me so far!

Ok so I'm getting there but still got a long way to go, and my energy is starting to wane but I just need to keep up and just start looking forward to the party and celebration at the end of this!
