The green text is my updates from May 2011, the pink text is my updates from January 2010.
I will add in the final updates in purple italics.
1. Buy & Learn how to use a sewing machine (I am trying to convince Dave to get me one for this birthday!) (This did not happen. And probably won't for quite a few years to come)
3. Get a new kitchen (this probably won't happen now until after bub and I've gone back to work)(see above, hopefully be done by the end of this year or early 2013, but definitely before we decide to baby #2, whenever that may be)
4. Get a new bathroom (hoping to get this organised in the next month or two. We have a three-way bathroom and we are probably just going to get the shower/bath area completely re-done)(see above)
5.
6. Landscape the backyard and turn it into a proper outdoor entertaining area (another thing we just don't have the money to do, will probably get half done once Mia is a little bigger and wanting to play outside but probably not a total makeover till after we've had a second bubs)
7. Make myself a skirt and wear it out!
8. Knit a pair of socks (I've given up on knitting for now. Too many other things to do!)
9. Finish my knitted patchwork blanket (one day. One day)
10. Climb the Harbour Bridge (yeah, can't see this happening now)(I still hope to do this one day, definitely before I'm 40!)
11. Go to the Northern Territory (I'm working on this, though Dave doesn't seem to understand the concept of a babymoon!)(our babymoon ended up being a trip to Port Stephens for our anniversary, not quite the NT but it was nice)
13. Dye my hair black (I've bought myself a voucher for a full colour, foils, cut & blow-dry which I intend to use towards the end of the year so might do it then)(ended up going with some highlights and a new cut, totally forgot about going black)
14.
(I made good progress on this and got most of the old ones I had printed scanned in and archived but just recently I came across a box of negatives so I plan to get them all converted into digital files soonish)
15. Go deep-sea fishing (again, not gonna happen anytime soon)
16. Play paint-ball (refer to #15)
18.
21. See Coldplay live (There is no way I could camp for days at Splendour so hoping they will do some side-shows in Sydney, not holding my breath though!)(didn't happen, and with Mia here now I don't think I'll get to see them when they are here again soon either)
22. Write a short story (I still have plans to do this, am thinking about joining in with Muse Wars over at RRSAHM one day)
23. Pay off the credit card Update: Have now split credit card and doing Very good job paying one of them off (See number 2)(Pretty close to doing this and the mortgage re-finance will finish this off)
24.
26. Got to Tasmania (another one that got away, but again, still hope to do this sometime)
28. Organise and maintain a proper filing system where filing is done more than once a year at tax time! (this is slowly happening. I've shredded a shit-load of the crap that was in the cupboard, just need to shred a bit more then do final filing organisation)(this one is still a work in progress, I though I had it all sorted and then found a massive pile of stuff in the other spare room that now needs to be sorted and I am ashamed to say there is still a shit-load of shredding to do!)
29. Re-paint the house and fill it with colour (we started this last August and got as far as our bedroom. But it looks damn good. Gonna do a baby room next! Woohoo!)(we did the baby's, well, my Mum and sisters mostly re-did the painting in there, but when we get the bathroom and kitchen re-done I plan to re-paint the rest of the house)
So that's that. I managed to cross off 12 items. Not real great when you consider that is not even half but oh well. I got lots of other things done in the last three years that weren't on that list and I'm proud of that so I can't complain. I'm thinking I am going to write a bucket list of all the things I really want to do before I die, and maybe a list of 5 things I want to achieve by the end of next year and work on those instead.
Update #1 - 29/09/09
*Update #2 - 19/01/10 - You may or may not have noticed, I have actually changed #27 from Go to Fiji to Go Overseas. Due to some developments, overseas is going to be achievable which makes going back to Fiji unachievable.
Update #3 - 16.05.11 - I have crossed off 10 items (a third of the list) and have half completed 5 items
Lol, your priorities sure have changed, haven't they? Is there a single item on the list that you actually completed? I'm working on a list of things to do in my 30s, I'm keeping it short to be realistic. Will post soon :)
