The list

Ok I keep meaning to do up a list of things I want to do for ages and I've done a couple but none more then 10 things. All pretty useless really. But I have been given inspiration from the fabulous Miss Zoot and her '101 things in 1001 days' list. Now we all know I am way to lazy and uncommitted to follow anything through for 1001 days, hell I couldnt even get through 365. So I have cut it down a bit just to get through things I want to do without having too much pressure. Now I am giving myself 1 year to do all of these things. I'm pretty sure I can handle that and I hope that I get them all done but if I dont its no big let down because its not a thing. I will be crossing them off and dating them as I go and Im sure I'll make a big song and dance about each one on here and Flickr so not much chance on missing out on any!

So here we go, let me know what you think or if Im missing anything!
