Great list! But who are x, y and z? Must be secret code!
I love 18 I dare you to turn up even if you're not invited. I think you should aim to stay in your pjs at least one day in the next few weeks. It's nicer doing that in winter.
I definitely think you should participate in Survivor Kitchen, I promise no more lamb for awhile.
great list. I'm still working on mine. I think at this point I have only 22 items.
No 8 . Anything by the Bronte or Austen sisters. Emma is one of my favourites You could also try Tpo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
I like Make a New Soup too ...I tend to stick with the same ones all the time.
Some great goals on that list Thea. I particularly like spend a day in my Pyjamas. You can do that ! I really need to make a list for myself ...I didnt do so well on my list last year .
That is quite a list! Good luck!!
Not bragging- just saying- I make my bed every single day so that one would be easy for me to measure.
I really must do a survivor kitchen post so you can join in. And I dare you to spend the whole day in your pyjamas. It really is fun!
