I've been pondering signing up for the Day Zero Project for a while, it's basically just a big long list of cool things to do, and you know how I love a list! I've found that by thinking about things I want to do, and documenting them in some way, makes me get off my ass and do them.

My stumbling block was thinking of 101 different things to do, but when I read through Lucy's brilliant list I decided it was time to knuckle down and just get it done (Lucy, you might recognise a few of these...).

I also took some inspiration from the Day Zero website, and as I was reading a few ideas came to me, things I'd intended to do anyway, so on the list they went. Somethings are definitely going to be achieved, plans are already underway, other things I have no idea how I'll go about doing, but there is nothing impossible on this list. And it would be boring if everything was easy, right?

So starting today and finishing on 14th January 2020, the 101 things I would like to accomplish in the next 1001 days are as follows:
