Day 9 of Blogtober 2022, is discussing my October Goals. If I am honest, just surviving and getting to the end of October will be fine by me. This is what I need to get done by the end of October, and what I want to get done if I get a chance.

Blogtober
I have been taking part in Blogtober for a few year. Last year I did the whole challenge and completed a post everyday. I want to do the same this year, and hoping I can complete the challenge in full.
Christmas Gift Guides
You will know, I have been working on my Christmas Guides for a while now. Which, because I started them a while ago, keep thinking I have ages to complete them ready for publishing. Somehow, time is creeping up too fast and I really need to get them finished and ready for publishing.
I have some amazing gift ideas to share with you all. I think now I will be either posting before halloween or beginning of November.
Mother and Daughter Time
I shared the other day about how C is suffering, so we are going to spend some quality time together. We have decided to go swimming once a week. As she has finishes at lunch time on a Wednesday and a Friday, we are going one of these afternoons. Plus, she loved going to Aldi shopping with me (more on that this coming week), and we are doing the food shop together once a week. Although, I they never change even at 18, with wanting to try new things.
Back End Work
Writing a blog is not just about writing a post and hitting publish. There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. Checking for broken links and repairing them, promoting on social media, updating old posts. This is just a few things, there is a whole long list that goes with having a blog.
I do try to spend time each day on this, but recently this is something I have neglected and need to get back into.
What are your October Goals?
Great goals! I hope you get everything done that you aspire to!
I love the relationship between you and your daughter. I can’t wait till the day the kids can join me in my grocery shopping trips. As I managed before, I have A LOT of birthdays this month so my goal is to get through them all and try and organise a celebration for every one of them successfully.
I am lucky that we get on great, I also have her brother phoning me most nights as well at the moment. I must share some of our conversations he has a knack of adding something to a chat and waiting for me to bite and start
Sounds like you have been organised and busy too with Christmas. Looking forward to seeing all your Christmas gift guides for sure, so I will save your page lovely xx
Thank you, am adding to them today 🙂
Spending more time with C is such a nice thing to do, especially when you set it up as a goal for october. I think going swimming is a great idea, as you exercise as well, which is so good for the body.
The goal is more to start the swimming, we do love doing things together and I need to start doing more
Can hardly believe it’s gift guide season already, but here we are! Hope your goals go well this month!
Thank you, I can’t believe it either
Good, manageable goals, I’m sure you’ll achieve them.
Thank you fingers crossed
haven’t quite got round to Christmas just yet
spending time with those we love is so precious
I have started Christmas shopping more for C as seen a few bits I have ready to order
Got to admit, I’ll be happy with getting through the month too. 🙂 I also am behind on gift guides etc. Going swimming with your daughter sounds like a lovely thing to do together. I do need to put my fitness first this month and workout again. Thanks sharing xxx
I have so much I need to sort on my gift guides, am hoping to really get them ready this week.
I love seeing Christmas gift guides. They always give me some fantastic ideas. Have a fun time going swimming with C. x
I love reading all the gift guides as well. I am looking forward to swimming
Good achievable goals. It will be good to spend some time with your daughter. I suggested a day out with my eldest the other day and she said it was a great idea, but she’s going with her sister, not me 🙁
I love spending quality time with her, we are a lot closer due to her illness. Can you not go along with them
Glad you are going to share some gift guides. Christmas seems to be approaching fast, and I have not had the chance to even think of any ideas for presents yet
I love gift guides as they do give some amazinng ideas
