On Saturday I'll be a whole quarter of a century old. While I've achieved quite a lot this year, I'd like to do even more in the next. So here's my list of 26 things to do before
I'm 26:
1. Read more. In 2012
I read 28 books. In 2013 I read at least 30 up until August, then university got in the way and now books seem more
like a chore than enjoyment.
2. De-clutter. Not
EVERYTHING 'might be useful one day'.
3. Host a dinner
party and make a fancy dinner (with no help from my boyfriend, the
Kitchen Dictator).
4. Knit an actual,
complete SOMETHING.
5. Buy more things for
myself. We've been on a tight budget for a while and although there
is less need now, I'm in the habit of not buying any kind of treats
and saving 'just in case'.
6. Go on an impulsive
last-minute trip. Barcelona or Madrid maybe?!
7. Get my MA degree.
YAY! Preferably with a less embarrassing graduation photo this time.
8. Stop eating so many
Jaffa Cakes. Eat more healthy fruit instead.
9. Do all the touristy
things in Manchester before I move from the city.
10. Make some crafty
friends. Maybe join a craft club.
11. Get a CAT. Turn
cat into Youtube celebrity.
12. Make more things
for our home. I'd like to start a patchwork quilt.
13. Paint more.
14. Go rock climbing
again. I used to enjoy being utterly terrified climbing pretend
mountains, and miss that it was something my boyfriend and I could
do together.
15. Go on a
rollercoaster for the first time. Survive.
16. Learn to sew
something I would actually be proud to wear. With no faulty bits.
17. Take at least one photo everyday. Use it as a way to remember all the good little things that happen.
18. Learn to stop
falling over when people make me jump. Just stop.
19. Open an Etsy shop.
Hoping to do this soon!
20. Invent something.
21. Work on a business
plan (perhaps related to the above?!), leave current job and be a
successful business woman (or at least try..)
22. Move to an
exciting NEW CITY. Destination currently unknown.
23. Make time to do some volunteer work for a charity.
24. Build something in miniature. Maybe a miniature 1920's cinema? Dolls houses are for grown ups too :)
25. Have a first ever BIRTHDAY PARTY. This one might have to wait till 26 now though!
26. Have more FUN and
get stressed less.
