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.
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!...
Mission 101
1. Visit 5 different areas in the UK I have never visited before
2. Read 20 Classic books (Alice in Wonderland so far!)
