KTjazz - the great life overhaul

PercyPig

Hi KT - I am with the others, please post your list to inspire us all.

I totally agree about the Sky+. My OH and I pay half each so it costs me approx £20 per month but its worth every penny. There is always a good film or documentary on. I probably save £20 a month on going to Blockbuster with its added temptations of popcorns and Haagen Dazs. Its also saved me money on buying DVDs. I recently got into King of Queens and have watched series 1 - 8 by recording on Sky+ as its shown when I am at work. Previously I would have just bought the whole set on DVD at a cost of £80 or £90. So for me, I totally agree, Sky+ is actually a money-saver.

ok, I'll post my list today at some point but you all have to promise not to poke fun at me.

KTjazz
ps. I have been doing the same thing with CSI

I have had a look over my before 30 list again. There are two or three things I can't put on here, they are a little bit too private. I'll also have to write explanations beside most of them.

I hope that'll be ok.

Am really looking forward to seeing your list Kt, hoping to find more to add to my list, and would never dream of poking fun at it.

I find it very inspirational when people set themselves goals and have the intentions of making the most out of life.

ooh another diary to subscribe to. I'm looking forward to your dotty-socky-DFW news. You'll find a diary helpful - I did when I did one at keeping you on track and reminding you of what you've achieved.

Wow! Thank you so much for posting your list - it is fantastic! You have so much imagination. I am very impressed with how much you have completed too.

I am very intrigued by 'restart performing random acts of kindness on Fridays' - by the word restart I assume you have done this before? I really like the sound of it, what sort of things did you do?

Great list - thanks again for posting. I am going to have a think and come up with a list of my own.

Percy :j
