101 in 1001 progress

[mattp]

flist spam ftw.
I've made a bit of progress with my 101 in 1001 list in recent weeks, but haven't got around to posting yet due to work being insanely busy and moving house (which is an item in itself, or rather 2 items, I'm pleased to say)


13. Do some private tuition
I'd actually done this a few months ago but hadn't got around to marking it off. I've done private KS3 tuition for a guy in Highbury, IT office admin for a friend's mum and also remote coaching in computer science for megashrike.

19. Have bought a house
This has to be one of the biggest achievements of this year. It's my place and I can trash it if I want to. Finally a place of my own that I can decorate in my own way, and eventually get a cat. (That's an item too, but hasn't happened yet so I can't mark it off)

20. Move to somehwere bigger
This follows on from 19, but I included it in case I only managed to move somewhere that I was renting rather than going the whole hog and purchasing.

46. Have a candlelit dinner
The meal in Garlic and Shots was candlelit, so this counts.

62. Host/attend a themed party
My brother's 30th birthday 2 weeks ago had a dress code of "Something beginning with the first letter of your first name". I won't say what I went as yet - I'll get the photos uploaded so you can laugh at me in another post

71.Throw out at least of two boxes of crap that seem to keep following me around when I move house
I did this whilst packing before the move, so it was around 9th December.

73. Create my personal website
I've done this - it's my surname followed by either .com or .co.uk. I'd rather not post the full domain name here as it's a public post.

91. Try at least 5 new fruit or vegetables
Last night I tried celeriac and liked it. I'll upload a recipe at some point - it's not hard but it'd be useful for reference.

I'll come back at some point when I have more time and find out the exact dates. Not that many of you will care that much, but I'd like to add it for completeness

Mmm, Garlic and Shots! :) Excellent progress, all sound great, especially the buying the house thing, we're hoping to get a place in the next year or so.

What and where are the friends you want to visit in the US? Also, Monday night at Whitby is frequently a good time to toast marshmallows over a fire.

I hadn't decided exactly who I'd like to visit, just that I'd like to go again, having not been since 1995. Oregan, Ohio and San Francisco were my primary candidates.

Re the marshmallows - I've actually done that too, but don't remember the date. I know how to find out, but it will need to wait until the new year when I see the person in question.

Firefox times out trying to connect to your website at both of its addresses - maybe something's not configured right?

Sorry about being so dopey and croaky on the phone today, love, and double - no, make mine a treble :) - sorry about not making it this weekend, though I'd hate myself if you caught this bloody grot from me. Give my love to everyone, please, and I'll come down as soon as I'm well and it's convenient for you.

*lots of love and germ-free snuggles*

THANK YOU!
