Nabbed from Gwen at Trailing Spouse, Amanda at Swish & Swanky, and Telle at Fat.Mum.Slim – my 25 things that I must do, by my 25th birthday. Clearly I’ve been sitting on this little list for a while (I waited until after my birthday just gone to post it), but I wanted to give myself a whole year to accomplish everything!

1. Start & finish writing the children’s book that I’ve been talking about for years
2. Find a job I love
3. Move to Sydney
4. Buy a place of our own
5. Graduate from uni (finally)
6. Be paid to have my articles published
7. Enter a writing competition
8. Do the theme parks on the Gold Coast with Nick – we’ve done them separately, but never together
9. Finish writing my manuscript
10. Donate an entire pay cheque to charity
11. Visit my Grandparents in Bega
12. Donate blood
13. Swim with a dolphin
14. Write my will
15. Run the City to Surf
16. Turn my mobile off for a week
17. Learn to play one whole song on my new guitar
18. Swing through the sky on a trapeze
19. Have a night at the ballet
20. Fart in a crowded space
21. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge
22. Go for a horse ride – it’s been too long!
23. See Phantom of the Opera at the theatre
24. Finally do the Bondi to Bronte walk
25. Smile at 100 strangers

Despite my Sixteen Candles (plus eight) moment, where my family forgot my birthday, I had a great birthday on Saturday.

My other half took me out to brunch (after first dragging my arse to gym), followed by a trip to the museum, a nap, and then dinner with good friends.

Happy 24th Birthday to Me! It’s going to be a wonderful year.
