It's a lot to do in 3 years. Some will be easy, some I already know I won't do. But just having them on the list makes them more of a possibility.
You should make a list too. And if you do, you should post it. So I can see too, and we can inspire each other. If you make a list, leave the link below.

It'd be amusing to see these arranged in chronological order, or concurrent order. EG, you'd have to donate blood *before* getting a tattoo because you wouldn't be allowed to donate for two years (I think) after. Or you could not eat take-away at the same time as not eating meat and trying 100 new recipes.
My list for the next three years would pretty much be:
* Have second child
* Buy a house
* Get some kind of paying job
* Try to remember to brush hair every day
I love that list (even though it's making me tired just thinking about getting all that done)!
I'm very happy that you have 74 and 32 on your list (very important to me). I'd love to do 23 25 26 37 39 40 42.... what the I probably should just steal your list.
Jemma! Awesome, inspiring... I'm trying to do some of these, others not so much. Give me some time, and I will figure out mine. Keep posted on The Crafty Librarian and you will soon see it :o)
I love your list, some of mine would be the same too, just un-written. I think writing them has a real power, can't wait to see
My list: http://the-crafty-librarian.blogspot.com/2010/07/101-things-in-1001-963-days.html
I really am stunned that you've not yet seen snow O_O
Don't judge me!
