Bucket List

In an earlier post I mentioned (I say mentioned, the whole post was pretty much centred around it), that at the end of August, it will be my twenty seventh birthday.  Now, since then I’ve been having a little think.  This new age means that there will only be three years until I am thirty.  Three years.  Only three years.  This is some scary sh*t.

Right, so with the rather large number hanging over me, I’ve realised there is quite a lot of things that I want to do before I hit thirty and everything starts getting a little more difficult what with children and the old arthritis setting in...  So to keep me on track and make sure I at the very least acknowledge and therefore attempt to complete these things I’ve decided to compile a bucket list.  Now I know a bucket list consists of stuff you want to do before you die, but mine is going to be stuff I want to complete before I turn thirty and stuff before I die.  I’m also gonna add some stuff that I have done to the bottom just because it will make me feel better, I’ll cross it through and stuff, I’m weird like that...

So here is my bucket list, it’s going to be available on a separate page of my blog so you can keep a track of how I’m getting on.

Now I ain't stupid, I know that this is not 100 things, hell, I've done a maths degree, I know how to count to one hundred (I can actually get all the way up to 239 actually), but I'm leaving me some gaps, I know that there will be something I think of, something that I decide I must do, so as time goes on, I can add it all to my list :)

Let me know what would be on your bucket list, hell, if some suggestions are good I may just steal a few, I’m not above it... :)
