Ok so its been a while since I remembered to update this, about 6 months infact and almost a year since I started this and to be honest its been quite a 6 months…
Since then I discovered that Ness and I are having a baby (due in just over a month, scary times) and we are buying a house at the moment so waiting for all the surveys, reports, checks and things to sign to slowly trickle through!
Its also my birthday, which means today I turned 29 and theres one more year until I’m 30, so time to check out those ‘10 things to do before I’m 30‘ and see what I have done;
Take up archeryDone and decided not to carry on, it was fun so maybe I will take it up properly when I can buy all the stuff- Jump out of a perfectly good airplane
- Learn to Suba dive (and maybe face my supposed fear of sharks)
- Get fit, do some sort of marathon Spent most of the year in physio with my knee, better luck next time I suppose
- Learn another language (more than ‘bonjour’, ‘oui’ and ‘un, deux, trios’)
- Pick up Photography lessons
- Visit Scotland and Ireland – they are right there and Ive not been so why not
- Buy a house Currently sorting that one
- Drive a car which turns heads (for the right reasons) even if its rented for the weekend
- Retire when I’m 30 (hmmm, this one may be tricky but you never know)
Ok so 1 and a half / 2 isnt too bad I suppose… it just means I have more left to do over the next 12 months! And as I didnt do that much of last years list I may as well make it up to ’10 things’ again;
- Buy a house (Ok this is cheating but as its not done yet I call no foul)
- Get fit, do some sort of marathon (or maybe just jog around the park)
- Learn another language (more than ‘bonjour’, ‘oui’ and ‘un, deux, trios’)
- Take Photography lessons
- Visit Scotland and / or Ireland (trips away cost so visiting one of them will so)
- Start cooking more and cooking more adventurously
- Consider saving for when I’m old #yawn
- Jump out of a perfectly good airplane
- Visit another Country (Not Scotland or Ireland)
- Once done (hopefully most if not all) the other 9 plan 10 more things to do after I’m 30, as for 30 is just the beginning!
As you may have noticed I took out most of the expensive stuff as I am reliably told babies are a pretty hefty investment, plus retiring at 30 would never happen anyway, even if I won the Euro Millions… I just hope this time next year I’m not just ticking off a couple of points from that list!
As a young Mathew Broderick once said as Ferris Beuller…
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
