Hello hello...
Remember last week when I did this post?

Yep yepidi yep. A long time ago though and I was more interested
in the holograms at the top than the view.

51. Gone scuba diving or snorkeling
I LOOOOOOOVE snorkeling. We did this quite often while living in Gibraltar.
I find it really relaxing looking at all the fish and the underwater world.
 It's like a little escape from reality.

52. Kissed in the rain
At some point we might have done that

53. Played in the mud
My favorite activity when I was a toddler! I used to find a big muddy puddle,
take my welly boots off and just splash around in it.

No, we don't really have a lot of them here in the UK

Only home movies! :)

Simon, if you read this... you know I love flowers.

64. Donated blood, platelets or plasma
No, it scares me.

65. Gone sky diving
Never will, fear of heights so jumping out of a plane doesn't appeal to me,
AT ALL.

Another school trip. We visisted Dachau.
I found it very depressing.

everybody kissed eachother happy new year.

86. Visited the white house

87. Killed and prepared an animal for eating
Happy to say no, don't like killing animals.

88. Had chickenpox
As a young child, I remember all I did was play with my barbie's

Not by myself, it was a team effort. We were in london with the ship

this fun idea that I thought I would do today.
99 things I might or might not have done (yet).
Ready for this
here we go!

                                                                               1. Started your own blog
          Oh yes, you are reading it right now :)

2. Slept under the stars
I went camping in my friends back garden when I was younger,
we slept in a tent....does that count?

3. Played in a band

8. Climbed a mountain
We went on holiday to Austria a few years back and climbed
a different one every day

On top of the Dachstein mountain (it was so cold up there)
Another mountain climb in Austria

Several, the best ones were when we lived in Gibraltar and
when we were on holiday in Austria. To hear the thunder roll off
the mountains and then see giant lightnings is quite spectacular.
