Do you remember at the beginning of the year I decided to write a list of all the things I would like to achieve during my 50th year? Well we are now officially half way through that year. Where has all that time gone?
How have I done so far? Below is my update:-
1) Travel to China
Still on schedule to achieve.
2)Visit Croatia
We went as planned in May and oh wow!
How amazing. Following where we
went on my YouTube channel
I still have my last day to publish – but it is worth waiting for!
3) Weekend away in a VW Campervan
Still not on my radar!!
4) Re-visit Lundy Island
Well after a tricky time sorting out a boat, this trip is scheduled to happen
and I can’t wait!
5) Eat at a
Michelin star restaurant
Still not happened!
6) Bake with Paul Hollywood
Sadly Paul hasn’t popped over to help me in the kitchen yet!
7) Be my own boss
I’m still searching for that ‘ah ha’ moment that will make me rich!!
8) Buy a new car with the registration of the year I was born
It is still a few months away before the 69 plate is out. Sadly by bank balance isn’t matching this wish yet, but you never know!
9) Get at least 1000 subscribers on my YouTube Channel
I’m at 149 at the moment so a few more to go!
10) Take a hot air balloon over my home town
Still need to do!

13) Complete a successful ‘Dry January’
Woo hoo! I absolutely smashed this.
14) Walk 5,000,000 steps in 2019
As I am still half way through the year, I have time to complete this!

year and loved it!

Not sure if this will happen, unless they appear in Lundy!
18) Run 10k
This was always going to be a tough one!

27) Teach Fido not to bark at noises
As above! Eek!
28) Have 5 minutes of fame on T.V. – preferably on This Morning

40) Have dinner out once a month
We have done this and it has been really nice to have someone cook for me. It hasn’t had to be posh, but good food.
41) Take an hour out a week for ‘me time’
I’m trying but some weeks are just so busy.
42) Get 8 hours of sleep a night as much as possible

I’ve just about done this, but I really need a few more!
45) Have a date night with hubby at least once every 3 months
I think we have done this – yes, definitely. It is good to spend quality time together.
46) Take a canal trip
Well I did say a trip not a holiday so does the 30 minute trip with work count?
47) Go to see Wasps at least 3 times during the year
We have been once but will go more later in the year – promise.
48) Learn the rules to Rugby
Oops! I really must talk to hubby!
49) Take up a new hobby
I just need to find the time!!
50) Keep in touch more with family and friends who live away
Facebook is great, but I really need to put some weekends away to see friends. We have managed a couple of weekends this year, but we should do more!
So, there have been some things ticked off, I really need to start doing a few more! I will keep you posted!!
