    Well it's fine until he has his next wobble I think!

    I've spent the afternoon making up my 30 things to do before I'm 30 list, as inspired by KTJazz. I'm up to 25. It's alarming how the only area of my life I can't think of any achievements in to do by 30 is my emotional/love life!

    Lol I would never get bored off work, certainly not in 17 days!

    I'll be loving it the first week or so but after that I'll look forward to going back. Which is good, in a way? Just put my work clothes to the back of the wardrobe, can move my nicer more colourful bits to the front! (saying that I did wear bright green tights to work today)

    You talking about getting crafty is catching. I think I might get back into it too, crank out the old sewing machine.

    Trying to make some pennies this afternoon but the track playing on STP is only 53seconds long so it isn't letting me rate it. The song won't change either :rolleyes:

    I've only made one dress with mine, I used a book called 'yeah, I made it myself' which is really good cute 60's a-line dresses. I use it mainly for taking in or altering clothes I get given to me, or if my sister wants her skinny jeans that tiny bit skinner.

    Urgh how can I be a well rounded individual in list form if I have no romantic aspirations!

    I'm now trying to think of what the romantic characters on Sims 2 want....

    Hmmm I'd considered that one, think I might go for it. I used to have 'stay up all night talking to someone I love until dawn', but I've done that now!

  • I'm doing that list too!! I'm only up to number 13 but I've only got three years and six weeks so I can't go too mad! Number 11 is "Be proposed to... and accept!" - that's my romantic one. Most of the others are travel-related. KT's list is fab, really inspiring.

    Is it hometime yet?
