    I have learnt to write my name in Japanese!

    That's amazing littlekel. Where did you learn that?

    I marked another as started today. Number (37) is "do something special with Sue and the girls every year" Today we went to the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth so that's this years trip done.

    I just thought I'd mention to newbies that the clock starts ticking on the Day Zero website when you first register. If you think it will take you a while to construct your list, it may be an idea to do it on paper first then put it onto the site when you are ready to start.

    I'm amazed at how many people have joined in. This started as a personal challenge to achieve the things I've been putting off for years! :D

    Woohoo, love reading new lists!

    About the writing a letter to yourself one, have you heard of https://www.futureme.org? I love reading the public entries on there - might do it myself one day although I'd never figure out what to say!!
  • love this idea. I always do the 10 things to do before type thing, but make the things too difficult to actually achieve.

    This time i THINK i have made better choices. Some are still difficult, but i'll have a good go.

    Stitchy I noticed you can change the start date if you want. I have because the end date was close to an anniversary for me so added 5 days on which gives me an extra few days to work on my list.

    La escocesa - off to have a look. TY.

    I'm loving this thread, I started making my list a few weeks ago and then got a bit stuck, having read your lists I have borrowed some of your ideas and been inspired for a few others. I still have a few to add and then I want to reveiw it. Plan to post a link when its finally published. Thanks for your help and support.

  • It's really inspiring to see everyone's lists. I'm starting to collect ideas for my next 101 tasks!

    elfen - I think I need new glasses. Sweep under the stairs is on my housework list every weekend, then I realised you said "sleep under the stars" :D My (12) is "get eyes tested and get new glasses" I better sort that one out soon.

    iwantahome - I can help you with (71) as I make corsets and wear them as often as possible ;) Everyone comments on my good posture.

    not sure why its not coming up as a hyperlink??? [/STRIKE] clearly it is now!!!!

    Think I may look to see what I can do off of it this weekend to list my spirits (work is soul destroying atm and am finding myself sinking...) but something soul-nuturing sounds like exactly what I need today! :j

    Do you use the 'someday' list (ie so we can see that too:p)? Or do you just remember/think about it?

    I think I might add a few more to my someday list.

    This morning I'm ticking off 94 - eat pancakes for breakfast :D nomnomnom

    :wave: DNM :wave: Good to see you on the thread!
  • Morning
    La escocesa I have one biggie on my Someday list, lets hope the someday can evolve into the 1001 day list.
    Hoping to tick one off on Tuesday ie get a new job, because I have an interview :)
