55 Years Left

In December I always feel a bit of nostalgia looking back on the year and thinking how grown up I am now. When I first stared this blog I thought it was absolutely unnecessary to clean your bathroom every week and now I feel a little bit guilty when it's not done once a week, that just shows how I have matured since 2009.

According to Wikipedia if I am the average woman in the uk I will live 82.1 years and therefore at 26 years and 11 months I have only 55 years left. Me and Dan would like to live in another country though, one of the countries we are considering is Lebonon but if we live there then I will only have 43 years left.

Anyway I'm not going to get sad about it, I had a midlife crisis when I was 14 and rebelled by still continuing to wear big baggy orange t-shirts and no make-up when everyone else had suddenly got "grown up." It was great to get the midlife crisis over with early though. Last year I set myself a list of things to do before I'm 30 You can see that here:

 and I pleased to say I did manage to do some stand up comedy

(Here is my latest: http://youtu.be/3zip2VBhL9k)

and I tried putting cheese in a glue gun. which you can view here: http://youtu.be/r9NMIJFOVDo

So all I've got left to do in the next 3 years is:

•  make a mosaic in the garden, 
• go on an amazing adventure to kuwait (which is happening in August and Sept) 
• learn to cook a proper roast, 
• Try laminating some ham (for no reason other than to see what happens.)
• and have a baby. Easy peasy lemon squeezie.

I've also achieved my list of things not to do before I'm 27

• I have not started listening to radio 4 (although someone from radio 4 was once interviewed on radio 2 and this was a bit of a moral dilema for me)
• And I have not started saving for a pension. - that was a pretty easy goal to achieve.

I've just got to focus on not buying a bread maker and not becoming a national trust member now. You may think that having goals of things you your not going to do is stupid, but you need to set yourself boundaries or you might accidently end up being someone who paints water colour dogs for a hobby. I've not even got onto what I intended to write about today I'm like a old person nattering away to nobody. Oh well I will save the rest for another day. x
