Completed a two-day course at a local(ish) climbing wall. I can now officially put on a harness properly, attach a rope to it, and use a belay device. Just need to get into the habit of going regularly now.
I got rid of the car. The dent isn't my problem any more

)I was away for two weeks and the tree dried out. I'll have to try again.
I have pots of Chives, Coriander, Parsley and Basil growing on my kitchen window sill. I've already used the chives so once I've used the other three in meals I'll consider this done
I've applied for a course at the local college. Got an interview in a couple of weeks so this should happen soon.
The most amazing thing I have ever done!
I bought a bonsai tree today so as long as it's still alive on 8th June 2013 I'll be able to tick this one off
A friend on Twitter was talking about starting a bucket list. I sent her a link to this website. Now she has a list.
This should happen in September
Just need to get everyone's address now!
Note added to goal Get a souvenier photo of me and a friend playing chess on a roller coaster

This one could be tricky as after some research I've found that the only total eclipse that's happening before my list finishes is in November next year and the best place to see it from is in Cairns, Australia. Looks like I could be going down under twice in 2 years!

The first few pages have my ideas for that tattoo all over them
Accommodation is booked. This will happen this year.
I have a friend who runs a stables. She has agreed to teach me to rise. Just waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before I start.
Done 27th July 2011. I now have a dragon on my back to represent strength, courage and wisdom. It's on my back to remind me that even though I can't always see it, they are always there.
Time off work is booked for October, I should be booking my flights within the next month
June Update - Flights are booked!

I now have a Rosetta Stone package for Spanish and I'm up to colours.
As both my friends in New Zealand suddenly had harmonicas I was convinced to buy one too. I have a book and cd, let the learning begin!
