    Hi and Welcome!!

    I'm adding you to our blogroll and will let the others know in my next update.

    I like your 50 questions. Good idea. I'm writing the letter too, I thought I'd do it right before my 40th birthday. Seems kind of poignant.

    Enjoy your list!!

    And welcome!

    hoorah! I am so glad you've done this and so I achieve one of my aims which was to influence someone else to do a day zero project.
    Love some of yours especially red velvet cup cakes and making pizza from scratch. Must also back up all digital photos.
    gosh the 100 films is a big target. Go you! X
