84. Sell All Your Junk On eBay (Just listed)

So ladies and gentle man, please buy my shit, or tell your friends about it, as they may want to buy it!

I currently have 8 items for sale, ranging from pokemon cards to a Paul Smith bag.

You can view the items here... SamuelBooth88's eBay Lisitings

Unfortunately no furry purses this time!

I'll update this post in a week once the listings have ended!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So all in all I made just over £100 after fees and what not, which isn't too bad for saying it was just useless crap laying about. It's also encouraged me to get rid of everything that is just cluttering everything up, so this was a great thing to do. I'ld recommend doing it on a rainy day for an extra bit of cash!

57. See The All Time Greatest Films 59/131

So I'm pretty embarrassed that I haven't seen some of these films, and yet have seen others. There are some brilliant films on this list, and there are some pretty bad ones (The Big Lebowski, it's shit). But each to their own. 

If you fancy lending me any of the films I haven't ticked, it would be much appreciated, every little helps!

Luckily a few of these books were covered in English classes back when I was in school. However some are quite tricky reads. For instance, Ulysses by James Joyce, is a right bugger to read, its more of a book of how he uses the English language than an actual story, extremely hard to follow!

However there are some greats! And I have my trusty Kindle to help me keep all my books in order. If you fancy helping the cause, and buying me a book, check out my wish list on amazon by Clicking Here, would really appreciate it, every little helps!

No. 89 Throw Away the Instant Noodles

Finally completed this, as I used to eat so much crap, however after going healthy for a couple of weeks I felt a hell of a lot better with in myself, I wasn't as tired in the mornings, I never felt run down as often, and seemed to just have a lot more energy. So heres my list of meals for the week, porridge and honey everyday for breakfast, always have breakfast, gives you that kick start of energy you need at the beginning of the day. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water, it helps break down your food more. I also have 2 pieces of fruit a day, normally an apple and orange in between meals, to keep your metabolism high.

Day 1.
Chicken, peppers, onions and rice in a szechuan tomato sauce.
Breaded chicken and lettuce wrap.

Day 2.
Chicken, peppers, onions and rice in a szechuan tomato sauce. (left overs for lunch next day)
Pasta with Beef, peppers and onions, in a bolognese sauce.

Day 3
Pasta with Beef, peppers and onions, in a bolognese sauce. (left overs for lunch next day)
Gammon, potatoes, and beans

Day 4
Heinze cream of tomato soup
Turkey, peppers, onions and noodles in a sweet and sour sauce

Day 5
Turkey, peppers, onions and noodles in a sweet and sour sauce (left overs for lunch next day)
Breaded chicken and lettuce wrap.

Day 6
Breaded chicken and lettuce wrap.
Chicken, peppers, onions and rice in sweet and sour sauce

Day 7
Chicken, peppers, onions and rice in sweet and sour sauce (left overs for lunch next day)
Pasta with Beef, peppers and onions, in a bolognese sauce.

I found cooking twice as much for tea at night, then saving half for lunch the next day worked well as there was no extra effort needed. It was already cooked and ready, just needs to be put in a microwave at work for 2 minutes.

Remember it's alright to treat yourself once in a while, just don't go ridiculous and ruin the diet for the week. Also, remember chocolate every once in a while is good for you!

As you may notice from the above I'm quite a fan of chinese food, for some decent recipes and good quality products, visit www.bluedragon.com/recipes/ .

No. 38 See These Animals in the Wild (Part Completed)

This is another one that is yet to be complete, however I will again add them on once I see these. 

a. Panda

b. Rhino

c. Hippo

d. Grizzly Bear

e. Elephant √

Saw wild elephants in India, to be honest they didn't do much, just stand around and stare, eat stuff 

and thats about all to be honest. the tamed ones were a lot more fun, riding on one was a great

experience, and feeding them is pretty scary as a kid.

f. Hummingbird

g. Giraffe

h. Koala

i. Manatee √

Got the opportunity to see Manatees in the wild in America, unfortunately these sealion like creatures

are incredibly stupid, and simply swim into boats propellers, so all the wild manatees look like Freddie

Kruegers face. THey really are just clumsy fuckers.

j. Gorilla

k. Lion

l. Monkey √

We bumped into these in India, vicious little buggers so you have to steer well clear of them!

m. Penguin

n. Kangaroo

o. Tiger

p. Crocodile √

Amazing creatures, saw them in America, they just float and stare, waiting for the decisive moment to

pounce upon their prey. Not the best feeling when they're watching you when you're sat in a small

rickety boat.

q. Orangutan

r. Eagle

s. Polar Bear

t. Coelacanth

No. 6 Throw a House Party While Your Parents Are Out

Well this one was done when I was about 13/14. I love with my mother, and she was on an overnight business trip with her company, so, being young and stupid, I decided to have a house party. (I did this quite often but normally with only 3-5 people). This time I invited about 20 people, and it wasn't actually that bad, few things got broken, furniture ended up outside (unsure how) and there was a small kitchen fire in the early hours of the morning. Few people threw up from what I can remember, but all in all it wasn't too bad.

Unfortunately my dad decided to come around in the morning due to being suspicious as to why I hadn't gone to his (stayed over my dads at weekends) and ended up being caught out with 4-5 people still in the house. Unfortunately I have no pictures as it was at a time before camera phones, and no one really took pictures for some reason or other. I don't actually remember much of the night, and seldom see the people who came, so I can't really piece together if anything else happened. The only souvenir I have of the night is a VHS of Dog Soldiers... No idea?

However at the end of the day, it's another thing off the list!
