Doris' Get Ready for Camping List.

Ed and I are hoping to be able to take Doris (our T25 VW campervan) out for our first camping trip together very soon. I am so excited, I just can't wait to go to the seaside in her  read books, have adventures and relax. As I love lists so much I decided to scribble one up to get Ed and I focussed on some of the things we will have to aquire before the first camping trip. We really don't need that much as we have been collecting treasure for her even before we bought her.

So far we have a collection of vintage and new melamine plates and cups. I refused to drink any hot liquid out of the old melamine because I was scared of weird chemicals zapping into my drink (I'm not sure this fear is founded on real fact or not). So I bought Ed the tin VW mug ages ago and Ed bought me my tin camping mug today! It was in the sale at Paperchase and I thought it was super cute. I bought three cushion covers from a charity shop absolutely ages ago and I just never found a proper use for them so I have decided I am going to throw them in the wash and get them customised so they can live in Doris. Its one of my beliefs that you can never have too many cushions (Ed doesn't like them too much though hehe). 

Have you got any trips you are itching to start?

250 Films to Watch Before our 1st Wedding Anniversary.

Today I stumbled on a list of the Top 250 Films as voted by the users of IMDb.com. In the spur of the moment I asked Ed if we should take on this challenge together, he thought it was a great idea. So we decided it would be cool if we tried to watch all of these films before our first wedding anniversary, so this means we have a little less than a year to work through this gargantuan list. The only rules are: We have to watch these films together and we have to watch them all the way through. But we can cross films off that we have already watched together, all the way through, in the past. So this means that we can cross off..

08 - The Dark Knight (2008)

26 - Se7en (1995)

27 - Raiders of the Lost Arc (1981)

63 - Amelie (2001)

68 - The Prestige (2006)

84 - Some Like it Hot (1959)

87 - Old Boy (2003)

103 - Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

108 - Batman Begins (2005)

129 - The Big Lebowski (1998)

133 - Sin City (2005)

139 - No Country for Old Men (2007)

143 - The Sixth Sense (1999)

150 - Kill Bill Volume 1 - (2003)

156 - Black Swan (2010)

164 - Donnie Darko (2001)

176 - My Neighbour Totoro (1988)

192 - The Princess Bride (1987)

196 - Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

213 - The Truman Show (1998)

234 - La Haine (1995)

247 - The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

That means we have still got 228 films to watch in under a year. It sounds like a challenge that isn't too difficult but there are some films that I have reservations about such as Das Boot and some of the westerns. But this is all about having fun with Ed and widening our film tastes as we mostly watch world cinema, cult films and some lovely oldies. We can't wait to start crossing more off the list! If you would like to look at the full list then you can find it here and let me know if you decide to take on the challenge too!
