Are we sitting comfortably? Then let's begin.

So the challenge as been set. For 2012, a list of 50 things to be done. All of them totally achievable, nothing impossible, even if some of it is going to require some effort - but then it wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy.

1. Finish "We Need To Talk About Kevin"
2. Make my own profiteroles
3. Start updating my blog.
4. Learn how to use my camera and actually start using it
5. Finish at least one month with money left over!
6. Run a 5k
7. See 3 films at the cinema
8. Clear out the cellar
9. Organise a wine-tasting
10. Go to a karaoke bar
11. Learn some more Italian

31. Audition for X-Factor
32. Go on an open top bus tour
33. Visit Edinburgh Dungeon
34. Visit a Scottish Island
35. Send a message in a bottle (it's just a brilliant idea! I may decide to attach a message to a helium filled balloon instead though)
36. Go on a train journey to anywhere
37. Have a DVD all-nighter
38. Watch Schindler's List
39. Complete a game on Xbox or Wii
40. Watch a sunset
41. Have a go at Urban Exploration
42. Read a newspaper a week
43. Spend a weekend somewhere north of Glasgow
44. Use each item in the spice rack at least once
45. Grow some basil
46. Watch all the DVDs I got in 2011 that I haven't watched yet
47. Write a music/book review
48. Go to a live music gig
49. Complete the IMDB top 20 (I've got 7/20 so far, excluding ones that I've started watching before and haven't finished, because they don't count)
50. Write a short story


I'm off to a flying start by watching Get Him To The Greek yesterday. I loved it, and that's my film for this week watched.  I updated my internet blog shortly after midnight too so I am thus far doing alright. I took a photo of the baby last night - or several in fact because he's a bugger for not looking at the camera, and I don't think any of them are that great for that reason, but I did it.


So, I'll update this as regularly as I can and let's see if I can't get this list done.  I hope my future updates will be a bit less rushed too.
