30 things to do before i'm 30 - UPDATE!!

Right so the 30/30 list has definitely had a chunk knocked out of it!!  Back when I last posted I had done 14 of the 30.  Now I have achieved 18 of the 30 and 4 are booked to do this year!! That means 8 left to achieve!!! Can I do it???

1.  Skydive
I did this 2 years ago and it was the scariest but best thing I have EVER done by far.  It was an amazing day and a time when I realised what a true friend was...someone who would jump out of plane for you in honour of the Mom you lost but she never met!!


2. Orbing
I did this with Louise as well a few years back, I found it realy funny but struggled with the lack of control shouting 'Lou, why are we speeding up, we're not slowing down!!!' panic!!  But it was fun nonetheless!
3.  Go to Blackpool
I have now done this more than once, in fact about 5 times!! I love the Pleasure Beach because I love Rollercoasters and I love the cheese of the Blackpool strip and lights, reminds me of being a kid again!!


4.  Route 66
I have now marked this as amber because it's booked!!!! I leave on 18th July for 3 weeks on the West Coast with my Dad which will include a section of route 66 and a photo with the famous sign!!  I am ridiculously excited!!

5.  Get my degree
I bloody did it!!! Finished my BA(Honours) in Business Studies and only went and got a First-Class Honours, by far the greatest achievement of my life so far and the moment I realised that I had done it was by far the greatest moment of my life (I was in my PJ's in the middle of the day recovering from Dubai induced jet-lag and I will never forget sliding down the wall on the landing of  my dads house and sobbing!)



6.  Comic Con
Well, I thought I wouldn't be able to do this before my 30th but it's booked!! Me and Dad have incorporated it into a 3 week trip around the West Coast of the States!!

7. Get a new piercing
I did this, I got my Tragus pierced (the inner bit of your ear!) but it wouldn't heal and got a little infected so I had to take it out - I will be getting it done again though!


8.  Go to a football match
I have finally got round to sorting this one, my friend Rachel has offered to take me and we can go drinking and dancing afterwards so it's not all bad!! Just need to get a date in the diary now!! have

9.  Paris
Finally got my trip to Paris, it was on my own but it was amazing!  I spent a day sightseeing and made some amazing friends and went up the Eiffel Tower at night and saw Paris all lit up!! A once in a lifetime experience!



10.  Hot air balloon
I had planned to book this for my birthday, however I am now going to be in Geneva taking in the breathtaking sights of Switzerland.  But I will book it soon!

11. Empire Top 500 Movies
 I haven't made a dent in this yet, however I am starting a Movie blog with my friend Allie (I will post the URL when I have it) so I will be forced to watch more movies, so this is probably where I will start!! 

12.  Buy a house
I have started saving and buying little bits and pieces for my house!  This IS going to happen before I'm 30!!!

13.  Go to Disneyworld, Orlando
I've done this and it was my faveourite holiday EVER.  I loved every minute and I can't wait to go back
again if I get to do my trip to the States.

14.  White Water Rafting
Again this quite easy to go about and not too expensive anymore so I don't know why I don't just do it!! Lazy bugger!!

15.  Plan a surprise party
This is what reminded me of my list and got me thinking about it again!!  Another item checked off!!


16.  Dress as sperm in public
There was a reason for this.  I used to have a group of friends and we wanted to dress as Sperm and have our friend Emma dress as an egg and we could just bump into her all night - it should have been hilarious, now it just seems silly!!  I think I may need to replace this one with something more feasible!!

17.  Sing Kareoke in public
I didn't think I would ever be able to do this - but I went to Turkey on holiday with my girlfriends and being in a foreign country gave me the confidence I needed!!  After that there was no stopping me and I did it in Blackpool as well!!



18.  Learn to Jive
Well, it was too expensive and time consuming to learn officially!  But I brought a Zumba DVD that had a jive routine in it, I have learnt that inside out so I think that will do for now!!!

19.  Talk to someone famous
I have NEVER had the guts to do this, I get so nervous that they will think i'm an idiot that I chicken out, that is until a few weeks ago when I met Henry Winkler AKA The Fonz and asked him for a photo - He was lovely!!


20.  Go to a festival
I stopped worrying about not having anyone to go with and decided to plan my own!! Instead of spending a fortune on Glastonbury tickets, I have instead decided to do Glastonbudget....in my garden!!  Blast the tele out my patio windows, giant tent at the back of the garden, beer crates, garden chairs and a BBQ - Glastonbudget!!  Oh and not forgetting the festival outfits!! Plus Brogan Beau can experience her first festival at the tender age of 1!!

21.  Go to a casino
Thanks to my buddy Shola, who had a spare ticket to a Casino in Birmingham that she kindly took me along to :-)

22.  Adult Wacky Warehouse
The only one near where I live is one where you have to get so many people together and book the whole place out rather than just turning up with a few friends - I should have planned it for my birthday really! Doh!

23.  Climb Snowdon
This is not an easy one, maybe after I have completed Insanity it would be possible but at the minute my fitness levels are just not up to it.  Maybe I should plan do it in the Summer with my Dad - that way I will have to get fit in time for it!!

24.  Go to the Opera
Wish I hadn't - I was bored stupid and fell asleep in the second Act.  But I did do it so I can tick it off the list!!

25.  Photoshoot with the girls
This felt really worthwhile - had a great day lots of lovely photos.  Spent a fortune buying them and then we all stopped speaking, awesome!!

26.  Go on an all girls holiday
Turkey twice - loved it!



27.  Have a drastic haircut
FOOLISH!!!!  It looked awful but now I can say I did it!!


28.  Go to Japan
This may be the only one that I don't get to do - but I might get my photography friend Lou to help me do a Japanese inspired photoshoot as a compromise!!

29.  Tobogganing at the Snowdome
I took my Nephew for his birthday and we had a great time - so glad I have experienced it now!!


30.  Sightseeing in London
I have lived in England all my life and never taken advantage of the sites we have right on our doorstep - I went with Dad a few months back and we had a great weekend!!
