40 things to do before I'm 40 - The start of something exciting

In June this year it was my 37th Birthday (eek!). It was also the day I had quite a big operation on my shoulder - great Birthday present eh?!

Well as I was lying recovering one day the following week I decided I wanted to create a list of things I would like to do before I am 40.

It's taken me nearly a month to finalise my list. I kept adding and taking things off until I got it just right!

So here goes, I'm putting it out there and I have 2 years 11 months to achieve as many as I can and have a great time along the way.
