:j I'm now going to spend some time adding to my 101 things in 1001 days list,

Me too - I'm starting mine on 01 January 2011;)

It's really challenging to find things - I automatically think I can't afford that / haven't got enough time etc :mad: One of them should be "must not give up trying" :rotfl:

DFF its actually really hard isn't it! I've only got to 35 at the moment I want to make sure that they're all things I genuinely want to do, rather than put things like "bake cupcakes"! thats just something I do sometimes, its not one of those things I really want to do if that makes sense?

And yes, like you say, an awful lot of them are financially driven and the dfw in me stays away from those ones

BB I have been having a look at the 101 things in 1001 days, what a great idea. I am going to start my list, if I can start this on 18th September, it will be finished on 15th June 2013, my 41st birthday. Lets get this list started

Evening all After school today it was the mad rush that is swimming lesson followed by tesco weekly shopping Ds had some fab news today, he's been made school council rep for his class :T :T There were four of them that volunteered to do it and it was a class vote and he won, I am so so proud, it really is turning out to be a great month

In other news, £25 profit from a games offer and £10 from the tesco voucher has meant that Nov 2020 no longer features on my mortgage chart :j

Evening, another good day at school except we had to walk there as I couldn't get the garage to open this morning :cool: Luckily its now decided to work again so tomorrow should be fine.

We went to get 'Up' on dvd after school as ds has been saving his pocket money for it and I made up the last £5 for him as a treat for getting council rep. He had his first meeting today, and when I asked if he said anything he said he'd suggested painting the school fences to make it look prettier, and that he could show everyone how to do it as he'd painted his Nannas fence

Spends today = £15 on dvd (£10 paid by ds), £2 on bread, milk.

That really made me smile - they're so open minded to everything and things really are that simple. It's only us adults that put obsticles in the way. He can because he done it with his Nan.

Mum phoned earlier and while she popped out for half an hour dad fell over and couldn't get up This is starting to happen more frequently and is another of the classic things from the next stage
