Helloitsgemma 
Fab list. I love the post secret one – may have to add that to my next list 😉
I like post secret one too – am trying to decide on the secret!
Wow that’s a brilliant list. Moving house is top of mine too and I keep telling myself that I’ll grow some veg (I’ve heard chillies are really easy to grow). Making a curry is really easy, if you want a recipe then let me know.
Good luck!!
thank you. I shall probably grow veg when I move house….. and thank you for curry recipe – it’s not the recipe it’s the motivation, but it’s on the list now – so it will get done!
My husband has a ukelele and I fucking hate the thing, it’s twangy sound sets my teeth on edge. He always seems to be playing it while I’m trying to concentrate on something. But apart from that, it all sounds awesome. Feeling more tempted to join in…
I think this is my favourite comment on my blog ever! X
Hey,
Would you like to join our group with your list? We offer each other encouragement and support.
I should have put win the lottery on mine. Good one!!
Scallops are delicious – I’m sure you’ll love them.
All the best with your great challenges. (I started at the end of March and I love it).
thanks, I would love to join your list – will link up. thank you
Great list…..want to swap a few of mine now! Good luck and may the Day Zero Force be with you 😉
If I look at other people’s I want to swap mine too – thanks for wishes and you too X
I’ve been looking forward to reading this since you mentioned it on twitter. I think you may have helped me find a few things to put on my next one. Should probably finish my current one first though…
Great list, good luck! x
thanks and keep in touch – let me know how your doing. X
Fantastic list, I don’t even know where to start with commenting on it! Thanks for linking up, and will look forward to seeing how you get on – have fun with it 🙂
thanks Emma – am looking forward to it and love idea of linking up
I’d not heard of this but it looks great fun so I’m off to visit the website and make my own list 🙂
Brilliant am really pleased – one of my objectives is to influence someone else to do a day zero list and today I’ve managed two! Enjoy. x
Pingback: November/December Update | Sarsm's Blog
Congratulations for joining Sarsm and the rest of us 101 in 1001 challengers. I love the Win the lottery task. I can’t believe I didn’t use it on my list!
Great list Gemma. I saw something like this on Erica’s blog http://www.littlemummy.com/100-things-to-do-before-i-di/ but I still haven’t made mine yet! It is great to have a list of dreams; I did make a short list of wishes on my blog around New Year, instead of resolutions.
Hi, good luck with this list! I am a new 101er and I love the ideas on your list 🙂
Hi Gemma. Can certainly recommend Bristol Balloon Fiesta on the first day (Thurs p.m.). This year it was great weather, but still quite quiet. Also the shape balloons really appealed to my boys. There are a few family pics if you’d like to check out PracticallyPerfectMums FB page to keep you going til you tick the Fiesta off your list!
That looks like a really fun list to write, a list of self discovery I’d say. Think I may be worried I might run out of ideas at no.10…now that would be worrying!
I love this, and so many things on here I would like to do too or have done! Ukulele is on my list too 🙂 I”m getting one for my daughter (nothing to do with trying to turn her into the folk singer that I always dreamed of being!! 😉 )
