  • Hello and welcome to rdchick and Emzilla! :wave:

    It's always nice to have new people on board, and I'd love to know where everyone else is too.

    I think I might drag my book out again tonight and see what else I can do this month. I'm with DNMS and Orange Fairy and going to have a big push in August. Who else is with us?

    I think I'll play it safe and pledge five tasks. DNMS are you going for six? And eight for Orange Fairy? What about everyone else?

    Thanks Stitchy :). I will go for 5 completed during August.

    I think the site is down at the moment as I am just trying to finish reorganising my list.

    Hi Stitching Witch and everyone else :wave:


    My list is here - http://dayzeroproject.com/user/ehallett25 - I would love to get it complete, but there are a lot of travelling ones on there that would require me to either win the holidays or the lottery!! I think I have been slightly ambitious :o.


    Sorry for rambling a bit there!! :)

    I'm in - for 5 items as I don't think I'll manage more than that just yet! In fact, 5 may even be a push since I rarely have much time to myself for long these days...so wish me luck!

    Phew, finally finished sorting my list. Have taken out all the unrealistic travel ones I had on there :o.

    The five I am going to complete during August are:

    1. Watch all the Harry Potter movies
    73. Get an iPod and put 100 great songs on it
    81. Go a whole day without saying anything negative
    84. Don’t swear for a week
    86. Spend an entire day watching films

    I've added a few more to my list but my 5 for August are:

    Eat no sweets for a week
    Eat no chocolate for a week
    Write to 5 people who changed my life
    Change my hairstyle
    Go to the doctors about my emotional rubbishness

    :) Happy August everyone!! xxx

    Yep I'll go for 8!!!!

    I looked at them and was about to chicken into changing it to 7 things to give me a bit of movement if one doesnt come off. My AAT one for example will depend on my exam results which should be in between tomorrow and next friday. I need to write my project for that too. So if i fail an exam i will have to wait till Sept to resit.

    But then i decided if i am not able to do one then there are others on my list i could decide to do. Like carve my name on a tree, handmake a gift etc.

    So 8 it is!

    The most effort will be sorting the garden!! We will need to work hard to get this done!

    Did some more of my colouring book last night. 17 single pages to go! Will plan to finish this over the weekend. Also to work on HP7
    and get some garden and bedroom bits sorted!!

    Great list RDchick and welcome!

    What do you mean by emotional rubbishness?

    I love your 3rd item, write to 5 people who changed your life, not sure I could do that one though...Good luck x
