101 Things in 1001 Days | Update Three

On July 23rd this year I started my 101 things in 1001 days project. What is it all about? It's basically the same as a bucket list, except the items on the list are probably a little more achievable than those that usually feature on a bucket list, and you have a set deadline....which you don't really have with a bucket list *insert morbid icon here*.
I really enjoyed putting my list together and found it easier to group my choices into specific topics. That way it's easier to keep up with what I've done, what needs to be done, and which areas I could focus on.

Below is my updated list. I have written next to each item if it has been completed or started. I have made a couple of amendments which you can see on the list below.

Are you taking part in this project? It's so fun to do and to put together, with plenty of resources online if you need inspiration for your list.

Start Date: July 23rd, 2014

End Date: April 19th, 2017
