How I did it
How to have a skin check
It took me
3 years
It made me
relieved

How I did it: picked up a phone and booked an appointment. i was given the all-clear after fifteen minutes, and told to come back in 12 months. it was completely covered by medicare, so i didn't even have to fork any money over. too easy. Read how I did it…

How to remove my phony facebook friends
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
enjoy facebook more

How I did it: facebook doesn't have to be a mindless time vacuum. just before i added this to my list i found myself becoming increasingly voyeuristic, suddenly interested in the lives of these 'friends' i hadn't had anything to do with since school. who wants to waste time on that? not me. i flicked everyone who'd added me that i hadn't seen since school, i hadn't spoken to on facebook, or whose status updates, groups and fan pages made me feel sure i… Read how I did it…
