So apparently good intentions are not actually enough!

I started this blog late 2015 with the idea of having the list set up and running by 2016 and well, I didn’t. But it’s not over yet!

I started this project for very certain reasons –  I needed to keep really busy, I needed something to distract me from the fact that the entire axis of my earth had shifted. I needed something positive to focus on, to help me find my feet and the Feck it list did all of those things!

It started so many welcomed conversations with friends and family, near and far. You came up with some brilliant ideas and some quite frankly, terrifying ones! It was funny how different people wanted different things for me, like my Dad who very kindly suggested ‘knit a scarf’ or ‘read a challenging novel’ and the girls at work who were all about – ‘go buy a leather mini skirt’, ‘ask a hot guy in the gallery for a date’ (thank you for that!) to friends who wanted me to join them doing things they already love that I had missed out on. One of my absolute favourites is a friends Mum who on her 70th birthday was asked what did she wish she had done by the time she was 40 but hadn’t and now I’m signed up to jump off the Forty foot in Sandycove for her.

Funnily, nobody EVER suggested ‘have a day to yourself at a spa’ or ‘spend a day in bed with a great book/wine/netflix’, ha!

Then 2016 came and life kind of took over. Rory and I moved into our own home and I just slowed right down and nested for a while. But the project never went away and I’m really excited to come back to it now for totally different reasons.

Now the Feck it list is about doing lot of awesome things, a year of documenting challenges/missions/tasks and adventures for myself and Rory and sometimes just for myself and hopefully sometimes with friends.

And that is were you come back in….the list is only up to 18! I am going to start cracking through it again now (while I am still 40) but I need 22 more challenges/missions/tasks and adventures to make my list of 40. The parameters are still the same..things that will challenge me, some that will involve Rory and if there is anything that you ever wanted to do but you want somebody to do it with….add it to the list….email me at feckitlist@gmail.com or leave a comment! All suggestions will be considered.

So it’s still Series 1, just episode 2!
