Some time before Christmas a friend posted this list of things (obtained via someone else's blog) of things you could do. The idea is that you enbolden things you have done, and add comments, if you want to, in another colour. So I thought it would be an interesting activity to do - to see what I've done with my life. Feel free to copy and amend your own copy.

great list !!! can't seem to copy and past to my blog....it pastes it outside the box!
Try copying it to Word first, and then from Word onto your blog. Sorry you're having issues - it worked fine for me when I copied it from my friend's blog, so I really don't know why it's giving you issues now.
