Hello. This is a great idea, can I join in too please?

I spent yesterday finalising my list. I've taken inspiration from many of the other lists on here.

1. Drink 20 glasses water per week

3. Have 20 alcohol free days per month.
4. Try 20 new fish/vegetarian recipes.
5. Sit down together for family meals 20 times.

18. Declutter 20 items per month (ties in with other challenges I’m doing).
19. Donate/give away 20 books.

I actually made a start yesterday, as I took my Mum and Dad to see the Andre Rieu 70th birthday celebrations, which was being shown in our local theatre. It's not usually my thing, but it was fabulous! And because I was driving, I didn't have a drink, so a positive start for my list.

6. Go to 20 performances (gigs, theatre, cinema). (1/20)
10. Have 20 outings with Mum and Dad.(1/20)

My 20 glasses of water a week is *not* working - I'm downgrading to 20 a month, oops.

I have two ideas for the new eco projects. Firstly, go paperless with my Mastercard - the firm I'm with sends me 3 sheets of paper, they're the most wasteful company I've ever encountered. The format is absolute carp too, and being online might make it clearer.

Secondly ... I sometimes rip open used teabags, and sprinkle the contents, but I'm very careful not to too much in one place, even in used tea there's a fair bit of tannin/caffeine etc. So I'm going to work at finding appropriate places to put it.
