1. conquer europe

Saturday, 3 Sep 2011 | Views [390]

After much debate with Miss Farr we have came to an agreement on no 1 on the list. We did not conquer europe, but we gave it one hell of a crack ;)Consider this crack to be continued


2. live and work in england

obviously this is an easy one to mark off as we are did this. lived and worked in england. lived in elstead and lived in leeds. worked at the mill and at the walkabout. "live and work in england" check :)


78. try every single J20 flavour

Monday, 1 Aug 2011 | Views [249]

another fail on this one. there are a bazillion j20 flavours. okay, maybe not that many but there are alot! we tried maybe 5 or 6 of them. nothing like leaving it to the last minute. we tried one at the airport about to fly to greece. whoops.


36. dine on a traditional Wetherspoons Breakfast

Thursday, 28 Jul 2011 | Views [600]

no black pudding, i know, poor effort. i will rectify this when i return to england or ireland One after work staff meeting turned into an all night drinking sesh, which led to miles, Aiden, Lauren and i to be still awake and h-u-n-g-r-y so we ventured ... Read more >


35. survive the otley run - leeds

Wednesday, 27 Jul 2011 | Views [438]

otley run, what a day (we have now survived twice) although not sure you can count michelles second account 100% successful. Deciding to go and "find the other half of the group" she leaves the pub she's in and starts to wander. failing to ... Read more >


13. visit york, england

Tuesday, 26 Jul 2011 | Views [258]

so we may have been hung over to all high hell but we dragged ourselves out of bed and to the train station to visit york on the very last free day that we had in england (not leaving it to the last minute or anything) we were hoping to do some op shopping ... Read more >


88. have a harry potterthon

Tuesday, 19 Jul 2011 | Views [271]

oh my goodness, I admit to having read 5 of 7 books with the intentions of reading the last 2, they're good, i enjoyed them, i did however think that the movies were a bit dorky. that is until walkabout staff had a 3 day harry potter marathon in build ... Read more >


91. become a cocktail expert

Saturday, 16 Jul 2011 | Views [273]

so we may not be experts at creating cocktails but we sure are at drinking them. cruising through greece proved the most lemon, banana and strawberry daquaris consumption known to man (an al inclusive drinks package helped) before leaving leeds Massey's ... Read more >


71. see a live show in london

Sunday, 10 Jul 2011 | Views [194]

Shelby and her fam saw The Lion King and me and Mumsy say We Will Rock You. we both loved the shows that we saw and wish we could have seen more than the one. London Theatre is a trip highlight even though mum fell asleep during We Will Rock You hahahaha.... Read more >

17. go on the london eye

Saturday, 25 Jun 2011 | Views [199]

amazing view of the city, so so much larger than it seemed. mum was a wee bit scared but it wasn't so bad. we have pictures to prove her conquering the height fear.


60. see stonehenge and bath

Tuesday, 21 Jun 2011 | Views [162]

this happened! despite what my father might say about the stonehenge experience ("it's older than the pyramids and you flew past at 100 miles an hour to get to a shoe shop") which i may add is not true. we had already been to the shoe shop ... Read more >


66. go shopping in oxford street, london

Sunday, 12 Jun 2011 | Views [247]

introducing mum to primark (or as mum kept calling it 'pickmark') in oxford st, london probably was a little bit traumatising. but she survived the experience if only barly. even i was a little flustered from the adventure but never the less we were ... Read more >

3. get crafty for a day

Tuesday, 17 May 2011 | Views [350]

yay, craft time so, rachel and mc are doing the massive 'otley run' pub crawl for their leaving do and the requirement is that everyone must wear hats. instead of buying a hat or wearing a normal hat we decided making them would be much more fun. maddy ... Read more >


84. have a day of baking

Monday, 16 May 2011 | Views [187]

and bake we did, in the dodgy dirty kitchen in walkabout leeds staff accommodation. it was actually pretty clean though, when we started :) michelle made a delicious banana cake and cheese cakes and i made hedgehog slice and cupcakes. yum yum yum. pity ... Read more >


44. have a perfect afternoon

Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [144]

this one is debatable. there was the afternoon in england where the sun was out. shock and horror. we bought snacks and magazines and played in the park. this one may count.


98. learn a party trick

Monday, 9 May 2011 | Views [161]

so it has been decided. against my wishes, that my party trick is infact the YMCA. where my Y and my M go in the same direction due to some wacky elbows. will demonstrate on request


40. go the the moscow state circus

Thursday, 5 May 2011 | Views [233]

the circus came to leeds, and we got free tickets. AMAZING mads, eddy, shell, gavin and i went out for a nice dinner at jamies italian (where eddy happens to work and got 50% off for us) double yay then we went to the circus set up opposite hyde park.... Read more >


7. learn a new language

Tuesday, 3 May 2011 | Views [269]

language of choice, french, because we already had the basics. first we tried online lessons, but lost interest pretty quickly, then when we were road tripping to the lake district with tim he got us on to recordings by michel thomas, number one language ... Read more >

45. climb an effing mountain

Friday, 22 Apr 2011 | Views [220]

oh my goodness, worst idea ever. it was huge. enormous. gigantic. had to stop every 30 metres for a 5 minute break so it was a long hike up the mountain. michelle nearly gave up. was literally laying in the grass napping but tim managed to talk her ... Read more >


65. go fishing in the lake district

Friday, 22 Apr 2011 | Views [211]

so it was a poor attempt at fishing but it was definitely an attempt, invloving £1.25 fishing nets on a stick and cheese as bait. needless to say we didnt catch any fish but we still "went fishing"


86. hire a row boat and have a picnic on water

Friday, 22 Apr 2011 | Views [250]

Who's idea was it to hire a row boat because next time, it should come with a rower. we thought we did alright at first, we had tim do all the hard work and row us out to the middle of the lake but eventually he got tired so michelle took over. she landed ... Read more >
