00:00I'm Eleanor and almost three years ago my boyfriend took his own life which came as a
00:05massive shock. A few days after my boyfriend died I received a letter through the post and it was a
00:13bucket list of 50 things that we had decided to do together and then he added 51 more things that he
00:20thought I should do together and that's how the yes list on social media was born so I've been
00:26making videos about it for almost a month I think and so far I've ticked off four things hopefully
00:34many more to come there are some that will take years and years to achieve and some that have
00:40left me thinking what the hell was he thinking is he having a laugh so some of the things I've done
00:46so far was doing something I hate which was running in order to deal with my grief I started running
00:52and then I ran a marathon because it was the only way that I felt like I could cope with it
00:58and the physical pain that I felt whilst training for the run and actually running the marathon
01:04really helped me to cope with the mental pain that I was feeling and then I started making
01:10videos on TikTok and Instagram to share my story and hopefully help so many amazing people who have
01:17gone through the same thing and people who message me or leave comments saying thank you so much for
01:21talking about these things because I felt so alone just dealing with it by myself and I feel like
01:28nobody else really understands so it's always nice to have someone who understands and yeah I'm really
01:33looking forward to crossing things off the list so these are some of the things that I've done on the
01:39list and here are some of the things that I haven't done yet one of them is have an Italian summer romance
01:47before you turn 30 why I don't know how I'm gonna do that one but again I can't say no so it's gonna
01:57have to be done and I don't have that long left I have to do it this year because I'm turning 30 next
02:00year one thing that I'm really looking forward to doing is dye my hair blonde I've been seeing it for
02:06years and he remembered that is something that I wanted to do so I actually do have an appointment
02:12booked for two weeks time and I'm going to get my hair dyed then and one thing that I am terrified of
02:19doing that I really did not want to do but I can't say no is bungee jumping we'll see if I survive that
02:26one I don't know
