    Ooh, if you happen to have a facial on your list of things to do, make sure it's with Clarins. It costs £15 for 30 mins and that £15 is redeemable against a product. Then buy a handcream and put it aside for a Christmas present!

    It's a good idea but I can't get any more toiletries, even if they are free! :o I have tons of handcream anyway:o However, it is something to keep in mind if I want a treat later in the year, I love a freebie!

    I'm so lacking in imagination, I can't think of anything! Can I cheat and look at your list? Just to get me started? I mean, are you actually listing achievable things or just "in your wildest dreams" things? :confused:

    He he! I did it last year but I lost the list when I tidied up and had to make a new one:rolleyes: So keep it somewhere safe :o I tick them off and date them when they're done, it sounds silly but it is good fun and it does make you think about new things you might want to do.

    bascially I made a list friends/places who I want to visit, for weekends places in the surrounding area I want to see, places in London I want to see, I got Google earth up and followed the Thames, picking out things!

    2. debt free
    3. more roast dinners:D
    4. more dating
    5. get bike out

    Ooh, I've made a start! Only have 7* so far though, as I've been distracted by trying to find a charity cycle ride next year! Just trying to find the flattest routes :D

    * although technically, I think 2 of these count as 1...find lovely boyfriend and have s*x!!
