What’s a bucket and spade list I here you say, A bucket and spade list is a non serious version of the mighty bucket list, a list of small stuff you should do once in your life while having a laugh.
Bucket and Spade list is made up of small things you don’t need to rob a bank to achieve, risk your life in pursuing or have to go on a health bender to start.
We might have got a bit carried away when we wrote our bucket and spade list and threw a few things we would like to do that should be on a bucket list, but hey you have to have a few dreams to work towards 
My hubby and I came up with the idea of a bucket and spade list while out for a walk talking about stuff we would like to do in the future and it turned from serious stuff to off the wall crazy things like taking a picture hugging a hoodie and sending it to David Cameron with the tag line now it’s your turn (English political joke)
So the Bucket and spade list was born for people who aren’t made of money and don’t take life too seriously.
I looked up online to see if the term Bucket and Spade list had been used before, but I got a list of tourist destinations from travel companies ‘Boring!’
So your challenge today is to make a Bucket and Spade List and get started on making some crazy memories

Bucket and Spade List : Skim a stone across water
I’ve skimmed a stone 10 times (was 11/12 times) across the sea on Skegness beach.
Big tick to Dave, one down about fifty to go
My better half is stuck on around 8 stone skips

OOOOHHH! that means war buddy, I don’t care if your my hubby I’m going to throw myself (or my back out
) into this challenge.
Stuck on 8 Skips indeed, we’ll see MR…
You want to be careful with that big head of yours or the next time you bend down to pick a stone up off the beach you’ll topple over
Love yous your misses
