The big three oh


I am going to be getting some help in my challenge from Sam - our birthdays are a week apart and we lived some crazy sort of parallel lives during our teenage years. She is now a fantastic drinking partner, and friend!

She is forming her own list and will be doing it during the year.

And, her blog 'The Big Three-Oh' has just gone live.
You really should take a look!

The List



In no particular order;
  1. Complete my shuttercal 365 for 2010.
  2. Own a grown-up handbag.
  3. Bake a rainbow cake.
  4. Ride a bike. Regularly. And remember what it was like as a kid to ride as fast as you can. Down a hill.
  5. Live on my own. {Kind of, well – I am moving out of the house of death……}
  6. Snowboard. Regularly. Or More at the very least.
  7. Shape up {for Glastonbury}.
  8. Get another tattoo.
  9. Practise my penmanship.
  10. Create a font.
  11. Write more letters (with said, perfect, penmanship!)
  12. Finish the Spanish Civil War book I started in 2007!
  13. Sail. At least once. More if I can.
  14. Make a Blurb book of my pictures.
  15. Make proper use of the Farmers market - the first Sunday in the month one. We all know the other one isn't as good!
  16. Develop more pictures.
  17. Give surfing a go.
  18. Fully understand f-stops and aperture and all of that stuff that happens to make my pictures look nice.
  19. See Katie and Liz more.
  20. Try and cook one meal a month for Jim. He cooks all the time for me (when i say all the time - I mean every time) I need to try and do more!
  21. Make a Carrot Chutney.
  22. Go to a roller disco! Again.
  23. Become more bendy - Get back to regular Yoga classes!
  24. See 10 bands I have never seen before at Glasto (sorry Sam, i stole this from you!)
  25. Keep a plant alive for over 6 months - its the start of being a grown up Sarah tells me.
  26. Take a road trip with Jim!
  27. Buy and old camera and do some real TTV photography - not just using a photoshop frame. {Liz bought me the camera – I just have to do the taking now……}
  28. Wear some killer heels on at least one night out! This one is for you Sarah!
  29. Plan an amazing 30th birthday party.

What 2010 might hold!

I thought i might for-go the new years resolutions this year and instead create a list of things I would like to achieve before I am 30.

The list hasn't been finalised (in fact it sits at a mighty 4 things to do, at the moment) but i turn 29 on the 21st January, and from then on I'm giving myself 365 days to complete 29 tasks.

Pop back for the all important list, and the journey through it!
