    I have been thinking a lot about age, life experience etc, lately, I am 28 but I don't feel 28 and it's because I don't think I've done much! When I was a teenager I would have expected my 28 yr old self to be married, rich, with a lovely apt, fancy car and of course a very glamourous job!!

    Anyhoo I have been thinking that I am nearly 30 and there are a lot of things I want to do before I leave my 20s behind!

    Ps, I am not suggesting life ends at 30, when I reach 30 I will then make a list of things to do before Im 40!!

    So here goes, let me know what you think and any further suggestions appreciated as Im still short!

    1. Go on holiday alone
    2. Go for dinner (to a restaurant) alone
    3. Learn a new language
    4. Join a book club
    5. Go speed dating!
    6. Ask a guy out
    7. Do karaoke (without 7 drunk friends!)
    8. Start studying for a degree
    10. Do a cookery course
    11. Get my full drivers licence
    12. Run a marathon
    13. Get something published
    14. Go to a music festival
    15. Do a sky dive/parachute jump/bungee jump
    16.Start a pension!!
    17. Get a tattoo
    18. Give blood
    19. Go to Croke Park
    20. Buy myself an expensive piece of jewelry
    21. Start a blog
    22. Trace family tree
    23. Live in another country
    24. Go to the cinema alone

    Ha ha! No I just think it takes balls to go for dinner, on hols etc alone. Sure doing those things with someone is hardly new or scary!!

    It's already going downhill for you if you're making lists instead of actually just doing the things on them.
