I did something I've never done before at lunchtime.
Guess.
Clarification: I had never done this thing before at lunchtime or at any other time. (And it's really not that interesting, I was just being daft & interested to know what people thought I might have done.)
I don't even think I'd want to do any of those, to be honest. I don't use makeup; I'm still recovering from the last failed relationship so I don't really want to date anybody (though it would be nice to randomly meet somebody in town who turned out to be nice, and maybe go out for a drink with them and other friends some time, if that counts); and the idea of that much cycling makes my legs hurt just to think about it!
OTOH the thing I did wasn't as interesting as any of those, so. :)
The counterpart to that is that some classy curry houses will give you an After Eight mint at the end of your meal (*) and one of my friends once used his after eight to pick up the last parts of the curry sauce from his not-quite-finished balti dish. Classy.
Original question: did you save a life? (I know that you used to give blood, but that's not it...)
(*) One curry house memorably bought out a big two-layer box of the blighters just for our party of 15. I think it was Jamal's in Oxford, but it might just as easily have been somewhere in Birmingham.
Eaten something you've never eaten before. Signed up to do a charity stunt of the nature of abseiling down Carfax Tower (but a Tab-specific tower obviously, I don't know which would be most abseil-friendly, never having considered them in that light). Bought lunch for a stranger. Bought Woman's Weekly or something similar in tone. Er...

I did briefly sign up to do a bungee jump for charity once, but was told not to by then-boyfriend, so un-signed-up.

I used to buy Prima occasionally, actually, and still sometimes buy the Sainsbury's Magazine... gosh, all my guilty secrets are coming out now.
Found *just* the right item of clothing, without even looking?
My bursting wardrobes and chests-of-drawers are testimony to the fact that in fact I do this all the time. :)
Bought a live badger?
In the UK this would result in, at the very least, a £5,000 fine -- they're a protected species. Which is probably a good thing, really; but all the same, I would love to rear a little baby badger. (I would release it into the wild carefully when it was grown up of course, because a fully-grown badger is Big and Not A Sensible Pet.)
I have not applied to the French Foreign Legion. :)
Sang the Badger Badger Badger song in public for five minutes, and then passed round the hat, gaining £3.79, three drachma and two slightly fluffy jelly babies?
