Things To Do

For the last few years (since I turned 25) I have had a “list of things to do”.

This has included lots of challenges and goals, things I want to do and experience, things I’d like to learn, places I’d like to visit, and so on.  It was originally things I wanted to do before I was 30, but the list got massive… so now I guess it’s my bucket list.

The list is constantly changing as I’m able to cross things off and am inspired by new ideas and suggestions and see what others are doing. I don’t expect to ever complete everything on it, but it’s a great thing to have to motivate me to try new things and complete challenges.  It’s all about trying new things, learning new skills, and having a shed load of fun in the process.  Although there are some more serious things on there too of course.  It’s all about the experiences.

By posting this here I’m hoping you will be able to help motivate me in long-term challenges, make suggestions of what else should be on my list, and help me with where I might be able to experience the things I’d like to do. 

Ideas always welcome!

    I just want to say good luck with all your things to do..there’s some truly inspiring things on there. I promise giving blood isn’t so bad, so take someone along to hold your hand, and it gets easier..

    I found your pages from a link in the inn, and look forward to reading some more..love the description about proper tea..

    We use to have posters like this up at Uni, but they were a little more on the racier side shall we say!!

    You need to add looking after your little apple tree http://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=1918 from us to your list.

    Splodz you have to do the Walk the Wight it is amazing I walk Ventnor Downs an hour every morning and sometimes it takes my breath away with the beauty and scenery or even do the 7 hills cycle ride, a real challenge even to the fittest. And if I talk to him nicely maybe lodge in my spare room hun

    You can always try Popdancing! Definitely Give Blood – it is great – 5 minutes to yourself can’t be bad! And what about wingwalking! Heard your nose runs and you might not be that attractive when you land but should be a hoot! Any good?

    That’s a mighty impressive to-do-list; mine only fits on a beer mat as I’m a tad lazy. Learning a new language is the one I’m doing at the moment which is challenging but fun, I highly recommend it.

    Some of those things you could tick off in a day e.g. eat a P&J sandwich or making your own ice cream, but the whole list is achievable with a little planning & an element of luck of who you know with regards to attending a film premiere for instance.

    Karting is pretty fun, so to tick that off, I’d book way it in advance as its usually busy to coincide with someone’s birthday for instance so you could attend with a group of friends on a given day; likewise for paintballing – my tip: wear extra layers as it stings just ever so slightly.

    These guys are always looking for extras – http://twitter.com/CastingSpot – but it’s mostly in the US, I’m sure there must be a UK based equivalent a few Google clicks somewhere.

    Anyway, I tend to ramble, so good luck with your to-do-list. :D

    Great list, though I can’t believe you’ve never had a peanutbutter & jelly sandwich before. Then again, I hadn’t either up until last week. Anyway, you’ve inspired me. I think I’m gonna start thinking of a bucket list of my own. At least I can already cross PB&J off. :)
