  • I was lucky last night! I am taking a picture every day for september. Though last night at 8 mins to midnight i realised i hadn't taken a photo! So i got one of DD1 whilst she was sleeping!! She looks like a little angel when she is sleeping!! DD2 however is usually in a star shape, hair all knotted and mouth hanging open lol!!

    So still on track!

  • i still have yet to complete all my 101 list, I am however, working my way through the 81 I have decided upon. I have so far completed 9! Many more are in progress too. I have just updated and have a further one in progress as now I have been paid my full salary for the first time in 9 months :eek: I have transferred £90 (£10 for each completed task) to my ISA to overpay my mortgage when I have completed all 101 tasks - will obviously have £1010 :T

    Like many on here, some are money limiting.. am slowly getting there though..
  • Hi everyone :wave:

    Another one ticked off for me - eat fish and chips by the sea side :D

    10 things down!
  • Woo! I'm on a roll! Just finished knitting my blanket. :T Another project ticked off.
  • Blimey La escocesa, you've ticked off eleven things already and only started in August. I've been doing this since January and have only finished twelve!

    Have you been keeping your Day Zero list updated too?

  • Uh stitchy, I've just had a few wee things that I've been meaning to do for ages. This little challenge just gave me the impetus :)

    I've been keeping my list quite up to date and updating the notes when I think I might be doing something soon etc so I remember about it.

    I think after a few/most of them are done there will be a big lull.

    Might need to 'cheat' and start a new list before the 1001 days is up :)
  • Woop woop unintentionally crossed something off my list today!

    Taking DD2 to ballet i noticed the farmers market was on! It is on my list to go to one! I am ashamed that i havent as i like in a village surrounded by farms!

    We bought some potatoes from one stall, DD1 had fudge from another, Chorizo Sausages from a third!! (smell lush!) and then a piece of flapjack from another!

    If you buy from 4 different sellers you get 4 stickers and that gives you a free cup of tea and a biscuit! :j Also you get entered into the prize draw for a farmers hamper

    It was a nice experience which i plan to do more often!!

    OH and i going out for a meal at a local restaurant we haven't been to before, another 4 and i can tick that off my list too!

    Well done to everyone who is getting things done!
