  • thought I'd check in with my list. Am currently working on my book list, have read 2 off of there. Going to order another from the library. Am also listening to new bands & have begun to start learning portuguese again - its sooooo hard! I think it'll take me years to just get a spattering...

    oh have also realised I can't put music on my sat nav but I have recently learn how to put music/podcasts on my ipod (ds and oh always did it before) so have ticked that off. Another £2 :beer:

    Well done DNMS, this is taking a backseat for me I'm afraid as wedding planning has taken over now that there's just under 3 months to go! Argh!

    You can!!! I'm going to write a new list starting 1st January as my 1001 days finished in September. I don't know if anyone else wants to start then too. I don't make resolutions as such, just a list of goals so it makes sense for mine to start on Nwe Year's Day. :)
