101 Things in 1001 Days

Have you heard about the Day Zero Project? I have seen it on a few blogs and though it was about time I joined in!

"Day Zero is an online community for people who love creating lists, setting challenges, and making positive changes in their lives."
 - www.dayzeroproject.com

I have taken on the 101 things in 1001 days challenge, as of 3rd July 2013 I will undertake 101 tasks before 30 March 2016. The items on the list are not necessarily difficult, expensive or rare but more activities that will hopefully give me things to focus on over the next 1001 days. As I achieve them I will mark them off and give details of how and when they were completed which I'll keep you updated with. 

Why am I mentioning this to you lot? Well I would like some more ideas as to what I can add to my list, and of course if anyone wants to join me with my challenges or create their own list that would be great! I currently have 74 items and need to get to 101 so put your thinking caps on please. 

This is what I have on my list so far, those that are crossed out have been completed since I made the list (there are some things on there I have already done in the past but will do again no doubt) and those in bold are in progress.
