Thanks for that kdenty. I've been able to update my list but I've still got a long way to go and only 600 days left :eek::eek:

OrangeFairy

Yay!! Up and running! thanks for that kdenty

Off to update........................................

Though off to find my little sheet as the site has 18 things tick but i hhave 19 things on my signature!!

OrangeFairy

Woohoo - last night finished Wuthering Heights

The book is okay but i didn't LOVE it! I felt like i hated all of the characters and that never makes me want to read a book! I got through it though and i am glad i have read it!! Another one ticked!!!

OrangeFairy

woop woop!!

Been Veggie for a month!!!!! Ticked!!!

Oh well done you! I tried it many years ago, but fell at the first hurdle - the smell of the bacon sarnies was just too much to ignore

OrangeFairy

lol and we don't have any meat meals planned until saturday. Most of this month is still veggie really as we are using up the freezer contents to be frugal and defrost it!!!

mmmm do i start on a 1000 piece puzzle.....................

Another one done! I was given a tapestry for a leaving present about 8 years ago and I didn't like it. I had started it but left it in a drawer for years, but finally finished last night so I can cross off #63 "Finish farm tapestry"

Now it can hide in the drawer for another 8 years whilst I decide what to do with it

Well done SW!! I started on my puzzle. It is now in the middle of the lounge with just the edges and about 15% of the rest done!! It's hard!!!

Has anyone found any thing on their list they thought would be good but have not enjoyed or have put off?

Mine is to complete a colouring book!!! I have found it such a chore!! This has suprised me as i love colouring and was really excited to start this challenge. I have done about 10 pages and the thought of doing anymore makes me groan!!! I will do it but i wish i hadn't put it on my list. It is boring and not productive in my life at all!!

Things should be either fun, to enhance your life or something that NEEDS doing!! This doesn't tick any boxes!! lol x

So far I have enjoyed all the things I've done, but I've got quite a few things on my list that I wish I had thought through first. Not things that I now find I don't enjoy, but stuff which depends on me doing all the time. For example - #9 Have a technology free day once a month. I could easily do this, but DH won't so that's an instant fail. :mad:

Another example is #20 & 21 make at least 75% of our bread and biscuits. Fine when I was unemployed, but I now work full-time again and DH hasn't picked up the slack.

I think there are about six things I can see that I certainly won't achieve, but if I manage to complete 95% I will still see it as a success.
