1000 Visitors and Still Going

I've made it to 1000 (well past it actually). I wanted to do something special to celebrate. To be honest I can't really think of anything....
Aside from perhaps giving you 100 things about me with a smattering of the best of the archive and a response to Kim @ As The Pump Turns.

Phew - an impressive list (and I also can't tell my left from my right and have to look at my hands and make an L sign with my left thumb and finger to work it out!).

Well done on 1000!

Congratulations :0)

Great list. I don't think I could come up with 50 interesting things about myself, nevermind 100...

Thanks!

That took me 5 hours and you might have noticed I butchered a meme to fill a few of the numbers.

Ah everyone has 100 and more interesting things inside them.
