	I've started to detox my house for the same reason, partly so the kids don't have to do it when I'm gone and partly because there are some things I just don't want the kids to know about :-D ;-)

	That's easy. To finish all the projects I started and to put several years' worth of photos into albums AND label them with names :-D Also, to get rid of all the stuff I've collected over the years, so others don't have to do it when I've kicked the bucket :-(

	Oh my goodness, go on ship to America, then go to see Grand Canyon. Overcome my fear of flying so I can visit and see where my daughter lives in South Africa.. Live long enough to see all my grandchildren achieve their dreams. Carol :-D

	I have achieved some things on my list. Like Lyndi I have seen both my children married and happy, I have learned to drive (my list was made about 40 years ago) I have sailed through the Panama Canal, learned to speak another language (more out of necessity than choice) but I still can't swim. I have had numerous terrifying lessons but I am frightened of water.

	Ann, it is a list you make of things you would like to do or achieve before you die :-)

	Some of the things were very simple - like seeing my daughter get married. She is still living with her partner with no sign of getting hitched, but 3 years ago she lost a lot of weight with a slimming club and they put on a Charity Masked Ball with a fashion show by the slimmers. My daughter came out wearing a wedding dress looking stunning and radiant - the radiance due in no small part to the fact she had 2 days earlier found out she was pregnant. If she doesn't get married I can hold that picture in my heart for ever :-) As she had been told she wouldn't be able to have children they were thrilled, and to hold my grandchild in my arms was another thing on my list so BONUS :-D Seeing the Northern lights is proving to be a difficult one - they hide when I try ;-)

	No I don't now, I used to have one but knew I would never be able to afford to do the things that were on there. Now I'm too old to do the things that were on there :-(

	I enjoyed it, about 2 guys who meet in hospital while being treated for cancer. One white and rich, the other black and poor, they end up becoming friends and go off on a 'bucket list' trip of a lifetime.
