30 things...

This year marks an important and scary milestone for me, that's right I turn 30! I cannot believe this is actually happening to me, a bit melodramatic I know, but I still feel like I'm 18 years old. I have never been a real over the top partier and I've always loved my early nights even when I was at uni, but now I feel like all these terribly unexciting things that I love just make me old!

So I have drawn up a list of things I think I need to do before I turn 30 in September...

1. Raise money for charity

2. Teach Violet to swim

3. Learn to reupholster a chair

4. Grow my hair

5. Loose 1 stone

6. Take up a regular exercise class

7. Take more family photos

8. Have a full body massage

9. Loose another stone

10. Reach 150 GFC followers

11. Go to a festival

12. Get my manky foot sorted (yuck)

13. Learn how to cook a curry

14. Host a dinner party

15. Create a blog button

16. Learn basic HTML coding

17. Buy a blog domain

18. Wear matching underwear everyday

19. Do something that scares me

20. Go for afternoon tea at a swanky hotel

21. Visit New York

22. Go to the top of the Empire State Building

23. Visit Ground Zero

24. Have a picnic in Central Park

25. Buy something from Tiffany's

26. Have my picture taken with a 'celeb'

27. Learn to like fish (as in eating it)

28. Have my name mentioned in a newspaper

29. Own a designer handbag, preferably Chanel/Mulberry/Marc Jacobs

30. Stay happy :-) 

I realise that unless I succeed with 21 it would make it very difficult to complete 22 - 25, however I have high hopes of making it to New York before my birthday. Let's just say it's in the pipeline if I can manage to reign in my spending habit!

Obviously there are lots of other things I would like to add but I have stuck to the things that are attainable within the 8 months I have left before my birthday. Always the marketeer you see, making sure I set SMART targets.

What do you think of my list? Is there anything you would add to it if it were you?
