My Bucket List!

Ok, so you may remember a few posts ago I mentioned my Bucket List. I haven't got round to posting it yet and to be honest, it wasn't entirely made up by me, it was taken from a few other people's lists I found online. But all the things on the list are things I would like to try. Some of the things are small, some big, some will take a lot of planning and/or money and some are almost impossible and may take a lot to actually pull off. A couple of them I have done since making the list but I wanted to keep them in.

I plan to do as many things on the list as possible and I would love to finish this year having made a good dent in the list. I plan to blog each time I cross something off the list, as a way of keeping a proper record of my achievements.
