UNITED KINGDOM | Wednesday, 27 Jul 2011 | Views [414]

88. have a harry potterthon

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 19 Jul 2011 | Views [251]

91. become a cocktail expert

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 16 Jul 2011 | Views [251]

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 16 May 2011 | Views [161]

44. have a perfect afternoon

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [128]

98. learn a party trick

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [135]

UNITED KINGDOM | Thursday, 5 May 2011 | Views [214]

7. learn a new language

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 3 May 2011 | Views [248]

92. learn to play poker

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 25 Dec 2010 | Views [230]

christmas day at walkabout was spent with some indoor cricket, drinking and lots and lots of poker :) we got the jist of the game but certainly didnt do any good. it was all good fun though and we can say we know how to play, the tricky part is remembering ... Read more >


83. send a home made christmas card

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 20 Dec 2010 | Views [178]

ellen was the lucky receiver of the home made christmas card and might i add, michelle and i made the BEST home made christmas card ever, just wish we had of taken a picture of it before it was sent but i'm sure ellen will have kept it :D

UNITED KINGDOM | Thursday, 16 Dec 2010 | Views [180]

97. visit as many london metros as possible

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 16 Nov 2010 | Views [181]

looking at a london tube map we havent done very well on this one. it doesnt count if you sit on the tube and go straight through. you actually have to get on or off at that station for it to count. on that front we've been to maybe 1/4 of the stations.... Read more >


4. save some money

UNITED KINGDOM | Monday, 15 Nov 2010 | Views [184]

and save money we did. we certainly managed to save alot more in elstead than what we did in leeds. we saved enough to fly to egypt for two weeks so if that doesnt count as saving then i dont know what is. go us :)


96. design a tattoo

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 2 Nov 2010 | Views [218]

nothing extravagant. just a simple flower design for the rib cage... but a much more interesting story on this front would be "michelles tattoo parlour" open for a limited time only in bedroom 4 of the leeds staff house. specialising in ... Read more >
