    Hello :wave:

    I subscribed to your thread a few days ago Stitching Witch, and I'm really hoping the Day zero website comes back up so I can join in (and also have a peek at others lists for inspiration!) Buuuut until then I'm going to start on my list today in my lurvely new pukka pad.

    DNMS - It's a Wonderful Life is a fantastic film, I hope you enjoy it. I really wanted to like Rear Window becuase of James Stewart being in it, but I didn't think much to it.
  • stitchy is that you in the pic? Nice rack if it is :p
    Yes, that's me modelling! I've always had the idea I am not that blessed, but so many people think otherwise. ;)

    Honey, you're more than welcome to join in without the website. See below for a post I made regarding this. Once you've written your list it's wonderful to get going. I've hit an emotional wall at the moment, but in a couple of weeks I hope to be raring to go.:D
    I started mine before I found the dayzero website. Mine's in a notebook and I still mark off the "in progress" and "finished" in the margin. You could do the same then put it on the website if it ever gets going again.

    No!!!!! Its not cheating, it would be madness to put money into saving and then go into our od's. I'l just keep a tally and put it in on payday ;)

  • Woohoo, another one ticked off - No 12, get eyes tested/new glasses.

    They cost an arm and a leg, but hey ho, they're fantastic and make me look ten years younger. ;)
