    Surely by now Piq, you've noticed that I prefer to just say it straight! Straight talking but gently when required.

    I thought you liked me because I was cheeky!

    ...and so I do! Just as you are, will do me fine! Definitely, need the straight talking to....

    Funny though, we don't see or take our own advice, maybe we should work on that as a new resolution,

  • Hi KTJazz

    Reading Piq's diary reminded me I needed to catch on yours:j I'm currently at home poorly sick and feeling miserable but re-reading your big list has made me think I might draft one up later to cheer myself up..I'm 25 in 3 months so a "30 things to do before I'm 30" sounds reasonable!

    Keep going with diary, brilliant read. And again, don't worry too much about this xmas and spending on your c/c...you are doing such amazing things that you need to give yourself a break!

    Lots of love

    Good to see you dropping in.
    Sorry to hear you're poorly. That was me last week.

    I'm 26 in April so am really going to have to get a shifty on with my list.

    I don't know about doing amazing things. I just do things I enjoy.

    I hope you get well soon.

    Hi, just found this and I love your list. Obviously I shall now have to go write a "things to do before I'm fifty list" but it's given me a few ideas! I only wish I'd found this earlier as Edinburgh Zoo was free on St Andrew's day so you could have ticked one more off for free.
    I'm not too far away from you so have done quite a few things on your list.

    I wish i'd have known that... I can get a discount for the Zoo from work so am hoping to do that in the new year.

    I'll get there eventually.

    It's nice to see a new face on board. I hope you continue to drop by.

  • Hey KTJazz

    I have just started drafting my Things to do before I'm 30 list! See, that's what an inspiration you are! Plus it's made me feel a little better - damn this lurgy!

    Hope you're proud! :j
