I'm doing 29 things
Today I am happy because my allergies subsided after two tissue boxes and 38 hours of sneezing, wheezing and difficulty in normal functioning and breathing.
I also am grateful to realise that the people I now surround myself with are wonderful, happy, healthy people and who are a great influence on me.
The last thing I am happy about is vgtsgirl is still vgtsgirl and hopefully for a long time.

How I did it
It made me
content and happy 
How I did it: Well firstly you really need to make sure you are going to be around for quite a while. No huge three month holidays, no moving around too much. Basically remember that having a dog is like having a kid but they stay like a kid for their whole lives. You need stability, responsability and just a big heart with a lot of patience. Be careful when you start to pick your dog too. Research research RESEARCH! We opted for a golden retriever bec… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Firstly this is a part of the Australian Icon. It's something available on any coastline and it's all about a service to community. Behind the scenes it's about meeting new people and learning new skills in a great environment. Pick a surfclub that you would like to be a member of. At the time of sign up enquire about the course availablities. The people around usually jump at the chance to have new interest and extra people.The courses a… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Waited untill it rained. There also needs to be a little spontenaeity there. You can't just plan on the weather guide and say, "ooo raining tomorrow and pencil in a kiss". It just needs to happen so that when it does you aren't masterminding it you are just simply enjoy the moment between you and the person you kiss. This very easily could be some stranger that you see in the middle of the street. You realise its raining and you run up an… Read how I did it…

trying to work out when I can be officially cleared as “a has been” in the nail biting department? Or is it like the AA where you are always an addict and thus are sober from chewing for so many days, weeks, months and years?
I am hoping to put it as maybe one year without biting a nail.
These are my ideas for it so far that are helping me:
Stress is my number one reason for biting, therefore try my best to acknowledge when stressed and look for alternative source of calmant.
If it brakes, you must remove it with scissors or clipper. Encouraging to rip it off with your teeth makes the withdrawals of not biting worse.
A weakened nail makes it more vulnerable to biting thus no trying to chip or wear away at the end of the nail.
The length of a good nail must not extend too far over the finger otherwise YOU WILL PLAY AND WEAKEN THE GROWN NAIL END.
Nail polish applied is not there to chip away.
The bitterstuff applied like nail polish does not work, after enough sucking (like those sour lollies) it wear away for the lovely (now softened) nail to chew.
