This is my version of 101 things in 1001 days
You might recognise a few from M's list below (told you we were similar!) but hopefully this means were more likely to complete them, as we can do some of them together.
We didn't really want to post 2 such long posts so close together, but as we're starting on the same date they need to be uploaded!
I struggled to finish this list. Some things I've purposely kept vague, for example visiting 10 new countries or scuba diving. I haven't been specific as to where so that I'm more likely to complete them, which I feel for me is more the reason behind it. I don't need to be specific as completing them will have been enough in itself.
Here goes!...
