100 Things To Do List - v3

The latest version of my 100 things to do list. There are a few changes and additions. Some of the additions are things that I am sure was on there, but at some point have fallen off due to having loads of 'out of sync' lists. Changes are in red!

Items on the list are things that either I want to achieve, grown up thinking I couldn't achieve or wanted to achieve, things that I find meaningful, things that when I think about or hear of make me feel good, but most of all, it must be possible, and if all were completed and I die, I would feel I lived a full life.

  1. Nice ideas, the one <23) Run a popular website (over 1000 visitors a day for a week)> is the same with me =)

  2. I love the added/altered 65 (Learn the IPA) because I like that someone, firstly, knows what it is, and secondly, finds it interesting enough to put on a list! I know it thanks to a very lengthy linguistics run in my university years, and its surprisingly useful!

  3. 50) Join a protest

    in Dudley on the 3rd April or 4th April , the EDL are coming to Preach racism. There will be many people opposing them of all colours. Up to you which side you choose to support, but it will be another item of your list if you do go.

  6. Thanks a lot Katie!

    You can get more middles names, it costs £30, and you can have as many as you want (so might as well go for value for money). The only problem is you need to get a new passport, which is £90, so I decided to wait a bit. I need to do it before I am married though.

  7. I came across your blog by accident and love it! I have a list but its not as ambitious (I'm older and have got less time left) - 5 things to do before my kids have me committed:

    1. Run 5 different marathons (used to be run a marathon but have to set myself a more difficult challenge now)
    2. Complete the Three Peaks
    3. Watch Wales play at the Millenium Stadium
    4. Re-enact the advert where two people are sitting in a car, in a blizzard, on the beach - they then leap out, stripping off as they run into the sea (need a friend to help me complete that one)
    5. Learn how to make Baked Alaska

  8. Thanks for the comment! 5 different marathons is pretty ambitious if you ask me!!! My friend has just done the New York, and is in for the London one in a few months. I struggle to run a mile though at the moment!

    I love the re-enact the advert. You have to video it (though I suppose you will have to blur our the stripping off bit to get it on youtube).

  9. I'd have to blur it anyway - no need for me to expand the explanation on the wobbly bits...
    Thanks for your comments on my blog!
