Things to do for self betterment - list 1 - day 1

I am off work for a few days as I have decided to make and do a list of things for self betterment and hopefully do the things on the list.  It is a pre-emptive strike as what usually happens when I am off for a few days is I get a phone call from my friend who gives me a list of things to do.  I may get subsequent phone calls during the day to check on my progress and sometimes an unannounced visit with clipboard, disappointed shaking of head and many, many tuts.

Today's list for self betterment / increased happiness is

• sort out my spare room.  I never go in so it is wasted space.  It has become a cupboard.  I am going to get rid of the bed in there today as it rarely gets used and takes up too much space.  I am also going to further reduce the contents of the spare room by a half
• find some residential voluntary work overseas.  I am currently deciding between helping elephants in Thailand and doing some conservation work in New York.  I suspect I will end up doing neither but I am going to at least think about it
• buy a book on script writing and look into a creative writing class.  I have decided that I don't do enough interesting things to be a consistently interesting blogger so wonder if I shouldn't think about writing down some of the fantastical things that I make up in my head.  I have decided to become a famous writer of fiction.
• Read some more blogs and read some advice about blogging
• Clean my windows. 
• Contemplate becoming a lawyer as suggested by friends and browse legal wigs
• Sort out my Oot The Back Garden - I haven't been out there for days and I have plants I need to tend to
• De triffid and stir my compost bin.  There is what looks like a triffid growing in my compost bin.  I think it needs to come out.  I also need to work up the courage to stir it but this may require a blindfold and gloves as there are horrific creatures at every turn
• Buy a blindfold (as above)
• Harvest, make an inventory of and organise by product my spirits (gin, rum, whisky etc)
• Think about painting the flat and deciding what colours to use
• Think about buying some new furniture and cut out pictures from an Argos catalogue in pursuit of same
• Clean out contents of my fridge and add to compost bin
• Open bokashi recycling bin which has been fermenting for a year.  Take and post photographs of the micro-nation which will have formed in this time and add it to my compost bin.  Refill bokashi bin with things I have been saving in the fridge for such an event
• Go to the sea side 
• Consider the pros and cons of converting to Catholicism 
• Buy new glasses so I can see things
• Begin process of engaging in none-fidgeting self help or at least ponder on the necessity of
• Throw away old toilet brush and go buy a new toilet brush
• Research which new camera to buy
• Find an excuse to use my drill - use drill, pretend to be a person who drills things and narrate drilling tips to self

I have set myself a lot of targets for today and I hope to achieve perhaps 10% of them.  For now, I shall eat my lemon cup cake from Lidl, drink some coffee, nosey at peoples' facebook photo albums and listen to The Pogues very, very loud.  I shall start on my list ... in a bit.
