Back in April I made a list on all the things that I hoped to achieve before I was thirty. It’s only when going through my list now that I realise just how crap I have been at the half year mark! I think there is always the problem that if you write a list like this you just don't finish it. The same thing happens with any new year lists I create.

You can have all the best intentions in the world but, and I don't know about you, unless you actively address the list on a weekly/monthly basis these things just drop off to nothing. I have completed some, it's not like the whole list remains unchecked, but I'm going to have to seriously think about which I can achieve by my goal! With this in mind I have put the ones I fully plan to do by April 2018 in red, I guess the others can join by 'Forty things to do before I'm Forty' list!
