Bucket list

Now I know that these are usually created by the old or the terminally ill but at least if I start mine now then I have more time and money to do as many as i can.

Firstly it's advisable not to create one if you have had a drink or two as you may never know why you agreed to some things.

So I blame Sara for starting me thinking about this and helping me create a list after telling me all about her's one evening on the South Bank.

It's quite a useful exercise too. It gets you thinking about life and where you want to be heading. Mine is mainly travelling so my holidays are now sorted for the next few years. There are other ones to do with achievement and then there are ones which could potentially be embarrassing.

You'll just have to watch this blog as I'm sure I'll be writing about each one as and when they happen!
