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

I have a really bad over reaction to EVERYTHING emotionally! Anything happy, sad, songs sung live and people singing along (!!!!!!!), disappointment, compliments, criticism etc etc the list is endless... and I have no idea why I do it - always have done but I'm 22 now and it's stupid. When the boss pulls me in for a meeting about something no doubt I will cry. My review, I was almost in tears, it's just embarrassing and seems to be getting worse!!

I am going to write to: My History teacher from school, my media lecturer from college, a friend who is a playwrite, my parents and one of my friends who I have known since I was 11 who has told me from day one how beautiful and special I am. All of them are male (apart from my mummy lol) and just thinking about them makes me have tears in my eyes as they are amazing peoples

rdchick - make that 6 people and write to me! After all, I'm the one who has "inspired" you all to write these darned lists in the first place. Sorry, I mean to help you focus! :rotfl:

OrangeFairy

wooohoooooooo

18 Complete a coloring book - done!!! :j:j:j:j

Finished the last 7 pages this morning! Now i can clear the coloured pencils that have been camping in the lounge for the last 4 days!!

Then i went to bed and read 65 pages of HP7 - so more than my aim. I am now on 200 pages so a third of the way through the book. My minimum for today is to read 100 pages to get to page 300 and be half way through!!!! :D:D

I want to check tidal times to see when best to send my message in a bottle!

I hope everyone else is making progress x

Well done Orange Fairy :T.

I plan on watching the 4th and 5th Harry Potter movies today.

Also going to start my week of no swearing tomorrow and not saying anything negative tomorrow either.

OrangeFairy, you're doing so well. You've done over a third of your list already and you started months after me! Mind you, as I've mentioned before many of mine are challenges for the whole 1001 days, for example #49 - Set monthly goals, and #59 - have at least 10 NSDs per month. I won't be able to tick these off until the end but I haven't missed a month of either of them yet.

My next list will be more realistic I think. I now know what type of things work and what doesn't.

Today I'm working on my monthly goals list, but the 101 things list is never far from my mind so tomorrow I hope to achieve one of them.

Hi everyone - I hope you are all having a productive weekend .

Just wanted to say that I have ticked another task off my list:

94 - Sponsor an animal.

I have just adopted an elephant with WWF for £3 a month :T. Wasn't one of the tasks that I planned on doing for August, but it all counts .

Also watched 2 more Harry Potter films yesterday, so only 3 to go now. Should get that completed next week.
