New Year Resolutions (My 101 in 1001 list)

So we are officially in 2011 - welcome to the new year everybody! This year I've decided that I am going to be the best that I have ever been before in my life and so I've decided to give the whole 101 in 1001 thing another try (here is my previous 101 in 1001 attempt, that I abandoned very quickly) - but this time I am actually going to stick with it!

In case you don't know anything about it, the general idea is that you choose 101 goals that you would like to complete in the next 1001 days - so since I am starting today I want to achieve my goals by the 28th of September 2013. I will report back on my progress at the start of each month and will come back to this post and cross out the items that I have completed.
