The Bungee Jump

A bungee jump is on most peoples bucket list and for a good reason too!  That feeling of free falling before the rope stops you from hitting the ground cannot be beaten!  

On June 22nd A group of ten of us went to The Highland Fling Bungee in Killiekrankie for a 132 ft jump. Excellent staff made us all feel at ease as we jumped off that ledge.

This is a must do for any bucket listers!!

Notes to strangers

Today I've written some notes with nice messages on them and will be leaving them lying around for strangers to find.  On the back is my blog address and email address.

In the past I found a lovely note and I hope this makes a few people smile when they find them.

If you have found this blog through finding one of the notes please send me an email and I hope it made you smile :)

Let me know where you found the note and which message you got :)

As one of my notes says.  I hope your day is as lovely as you are

Asking 100 companies for free things

If you dont ask you dont get.

This weekend I decided to contact 100 companies to ask for free samples, coupons or any freebies.  The point of this is to see if with the money I spent on stamps I could make back or make more of by receiving free gifts.

It would be a bit boring to just write and ask for freebies so I decided to make them all a little fun.  Here's just a few examples:

I contacted car companies asking them to send me a free keyring so I could pretend I owned that car when I was in meetings at work instead of looking poor.

A letter to a rabbit food company was written from my pet rabbits.

And I even said I was looking for a freebies as it is my birthday coming up.

In one month I will post an update with anything I receive or any no responses.

This one will be fun :)

Attend a boxing event

November 2012,  My boyfriend and I attending a boxing event with my work in November 2012.  It was enjoyable watching all of the fights, sometimes you had no clue who was going to win. 

Hi I'm Laura

1st June 2013.

Hi everyone, I'm Laura aged 24.

At the beginning of this year I realised I havent been doing very much with my life so I decided to write a bucket list.  I came across www.bucketlist.org which I have been a member of since the beginning of the year.  I use this site to keep a record of everything I want to do in my life and plan on updating this blog when I complete things.  

If you have any ideas for me or just want to send a message please feel free to contact me through my blog here or e-mail completingmybucketlist@gmail.com
