30 before 30: The challenge

Well, they say life begins at 30 .....

I've been pretty lucky and led a pretty sweet life, but like most people at my age (28 and turning 29 this year) I'm feeling like there is soooo much I still haven't done that I thought I would have by 30. This is where the 30 before 30 list comes into play!

I have made a pretty simple list of things I want to do before I hit the big 3 - 0. Here it is:
 

1            Secure myself a raise at work

2            Grow a herb garden (Might need to call Pa for some tips)

3            Try Paddleboarding/surfing

4            Attend a wall-pilates class at Zen Yoga

5            Learn how to knit (Nicola at work is going to teach me this one)

6            Indulge in a spa day (Massage, facial, mud wrap etc)

7            Watch a live AFL match (Love my sport but never watched this sport live)

8            Get back to under 60kgs

9            Have shopping free month (This is going to be hard)

10          Get back into tennis and have a lesson with a Pro

11          Organise a picnic at New Farm park on a sunny day

12          Bake 5 dishes off my Pintrest board

13          Run 10kms non stop

14          Attend a cooking class

15          Buy a nice camera (I'll need something to document my 30 before 30 activities)

16          Buy something in a charity shop that isn't for dress ups (this one is for Amby)

17          Donate a small amount of $ to charity every pay (Been doing this monthly)

18          Get my 3rd Tattoo

19          Learn a sentence in another language (I am terrible with languages)

20          Run/Walk up Mt Cootha

21          Play Blackjack at the Casino

22          Have my flat cleaned by a house cleaner

23          Have my makeup done for a big night out (last time I was 24)

24          Wear a bikini to the beach (haven't done this since I was 18)

25          Watch all the Godfather movies

26          See the snow (Yup, never seen snow!)

27          Have $5,000 in savings

28          Make an awesome custom birthday cake for a family member

29          Start a blog and record my '30' activities (looks like I've started one!)

30          Spend my 30th birthday in Las Vegas with the girls

A pretty simple list, but it always seems to be the small things that we forget or end up puttin on the back burner because life gets in the way. Well, not this time!!

After doing a bit of reading on the net, they say it's best to get as many people on board to make sure your list is completed by the time you hit 30. This is why I am going to enlist my closest friends and family to join me!

So, who's in?? 474 days left and counting :)
