I know, I've been slacking but trust me I've had some good reasons - you'll find out more in a bit.

35)

Yes er shamefully still gaps. People have suggested things to me - like do a bungee jump, but I've done that. This isn't meant to be a list of all the things you should do before you reach 40, more what things can I do which are a bit out there, a bit stretching (ok you'll argue some but bear with me!) and some I need to do in the next six months. So suggestions for the last ones - be my guest!
Oh and comments on what's on the list, suggestions etc, also welcome!
Some great ideas there!
ReplyDeleteStuart can obviously help you with the sign language!
I can help you do a knitting pattern for a scarf that won't bore you senseless knitting it!
If you can get down to Lewes, you can watch a live game of Stoolball and possibly a couple of other weirder Sussex sports! You could even have a go at Stoolball (it's a bit like Rounders) and you could tick two off at once!

Hiya,
ReplyDeleteThanks indeed - naturally I'll tap Stu up on the sign language side of things and yes please to the knitting pattern - I'm not very good so it will need to be straightforward!
Stool ball sounds good - presume it's just in the summer? But we'll have to take that one in!
As you have lots of twitter followers you can continue to FF me - I know that worked before!
Any suggestions on some others? Maybe I should relate it to the blog!
Me xx
Have you honestly never cooked a roast dinner? What kind of housewife are you?
ReplyDeleteHow about:
- go to a rock concert (Robbie doesn't count)
- Learn to change a tyre (you probably can but I know I can't)
- Smile at random people on the Tube
- Buy coffee for homeless people http://www.psfk.com/2013/05/starbucks-homeless-coffee.html
- Visit all the capital cities of the UK
Will keep thinking...

Katie P I hadn't seen your comment but sadly it's true - although not now as I have completed that task!
ReplyDeleteIf Robbie doesn't count can I have suggestions as to who does?! Aha? Probably not. I have changed a tyre more than once (honest!) and sometimes without help - first time on a dark night with a bunch of netballers. I like the coffee and the smiling one the capital cities - have I done that? x
