Before I am 40!

Well I know this is a while off but on a friends blog I found this list of all the 'fabulous' things one should do before they are 40. I am not sure according to who as it seems to be catered for the female spieces, anyway I thought I would share it with you

1. Watch the following inspiring films: Little Miss Sunshine, Mr Smith goes to Washington. Good Will Hunting (seen)and The Shawshank Redemption(seen). - 2 down 2 to go

2. Write a novel- not creative so never gonna happen, unless a childrens story will count, I might be able to stretch to that!
3. Learn a musical instrument- can play the piano, used to know clarinet and recorder
4. Learn to knit- frequently do this!
5. Learn a language - learnt 3 at school, not sue of them now but hey I have done it
6. Dye my hair- spent many a Sat night doing this when I was younger!
7. Spend a whole summer abroad- done it twice
8. Apologise to someone you hurt ages ago and never made up with- not sure I have fallen out with anyone for that long?!
9. Do a friend audit- a what??
10. Research my family tree- my Dads doing that for me!
11. Get out of debt once and for all- hopefully will be when we move
12. Go through and sort all my photos- always sorted on a regular basis
13. Paint a picture, frame it and hang it on my wall- maybe one day but again not very creative
14. Read the entire Narnia series- needs to be done
15. Do an extreme declutter- will be doing when we move but I think I am farily clutter free!
16. Learn to do one magic trick really well- I am sure I could do some in my youth!
17. Start a blog- your reading it
18. Do something for charity- plenty of swims and runs
19. Get a grown up jewellery collection - wedding and engagement rings count?
20. Go camping with my family- did once with my Dad and I am sure we will have camping trips as Martha grows up if Liam has his way
21. Complete a cryptic crossword puzzle- had to do one in Secondary school when I was in one of 10 to have the highest IQ's in my year!
22. Run a marathon- done a half, not sure I will stretch to a full one
23. Learn to fly- what- a plane!!!???
24. Learn to dance properly- did for our wedding day and I am proud of it too, also did plenty of dancing when I was a child

So all in all I am not doing too badly!! Bring on the list for 50 as I feel I should be working on that as this one is almost complete!

Anyway was just looking at a friends and thought I would share with you! Be in touch soon!
