My long before I die list

5 08 2010

These are all the things that I hope to achieve long before I die, after all, if I’m lying on my deathbed I’m hardly likely to be able to learn to surf now I am?

These are in no particular order, just as I think of them.

  • Moonwalk with mum
  • Visit the Hormiman Museum, reminds me of BodyWorlds, it features the Horniman, pickled animals and various others
  • Get fitted for a Rigby & Peller bra
  • Catch a gig at Ronnie Scott’s
  • Ice skate at Somerset House
  • Watch a movie at Somerset House during their Summer Screen
  • Learn to surf, especially after I heard how hot the instructors are




So here goes…

25 07 2010

Welcome to my blog.

This is where I hope to write about the trials and tribulations and things I want to achieve before I feel like an old woman of 31.

I’m a 29 1/2 year old single mum (my choice after I kicked the husband out) who is also training to be a mental health nurse.

The list of things I want to do is here, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment and I’ll see if I can add them. This is a list of things I about me, I was aiming for 31 but I got stuck so please consider it a work in progress.

Hope you find this an interesting read…
