GAWD I have had a great weekend! Feeling TERRIBLE today, but glad all the same! hehehe

I thought while I'm updating I should put my updated list of my 101 in 1001 goals.
Its been almost 2 years, and I've done I think about 40 of them, because I kept forgetting about it, or thinking about doing new ones, but i've decided this year I want to finish it as much as I can. I changed a few of them, and updated a lot.
My end date is March 28th, 2010.
I've completed: 40 (in bold)
In the process:24 (in italics)
Goals to do: 37

I am ashamed that none of the "healthy" ones have been done. Definately have to rectify that!
Anyone else still doing theirs?

I still love my u2 theme! hahahaha
I will upload the photos near to completion, as it will take me way too long. I'm not sure I have all of them anyway!

Here are all the goals i've managed to achieve in the first 7 months of setting them! :)

6. Learn manual driving
DONE:1/3/07
I swapped over my drivers licence and automatically got my manual one. Took a few practice drives and its just like riding a bike, you never forget! But now i have an offical document saying I can do both! :D

PICTURE:
I'm not going to scan my licence, but i'll take a photo of me fondling a gear stick just for prosperity! hehehe

9. Register as an organ donor DONE: 7/7/07
I was at the show and they had a booth, and I was very happy to sit down and fill out the form. They said i'll recieve my card in about 4 weeks, which should be around about now! I got a frisbee and two free pens out of it too!

PICTURE:
When i get my card! :D

14. Do a complete clearout of everything I own, and sell, give to charity or throw everything that isn’t meaningful, useful or special to me DONE: 10/02/07
I did this when we left Melbourne. Pretty heartbreaking at some points, and other times I felt really good giving food stuffs and good clothes and extra blankets to the charity people. The best part was we had extra furniture that we didn't know what to do with, so we saw the people next door and offered it to their cousins who we'd met before and we were living very rough. They were very appreciate, and I felt clensed. I think I need to do it again before I go oversea though!

PICTURE:
Uhm, I didn't take any, but i'll take a pic of my boxes in the shed as the "reminents" of my clean out

53. Buy (or persuade someone to get me!) the U2 ipod DONE: 18/5/07
Thanks to my beautiful Adam for my beautiful most loved birthday present! I lovelovelove it! And it holds so muuuuuuuuch music and video on it! wooooot!

PICTURE:


57. Buy a pretty dress for a special occasion DONE: 17/2/07
I bought a lovely dress for Felicity and Adams engagement party. And the fact the on the side I look pregnant doesn't deter my from the fact I love the dress and will wear it again and again

PICTURE: No full length one yet. Will update when I take one!

72. Enter one of my photos in a photography competition DONE: 3/7/07

I've done a few, so i'll do a follow up entry with those goals - and i'll keep updating the list on the side of my page! :D
