Knowing that this list was once again relegated to my drafts folder, today Big issued a challenge, which I accepted. She’s doing something important to me. So I’m setting out on my 101 things. Again. (If you want to check out her take on the list, her post is over here.)

And that will have to do for now. Netbook crashed twice while I was trying to write this post, so I didn’t get to finish it. I’m wracking my brains for items I want to add to the list – I think I need a few quick wins to be honest, there’s a lot of stuff on there that’s rather time consuming. I think I might keep ten personal items private, but that still leaves 42 slots free.
I’m starting tomorrow, whether I finish the list or not. If you’ve any suggestions for me, stick them in the comments or ping me on twitter.
