Today is an auspicious day!
Today is my 32nd birthday!
At approximately 7am on the 22nd of August 1981 in Yeovil hospital my parents greeted me in to the world. Possibly a little disappointed that I wasn't a boy, but hey, what they got was even better right!?!
This birthday is a life changer, or so it feels. I am literally starting this new year with a blank slate. I have very few ties, no mortgage, no boyfriend, no job. It means that I can start the next 365 days of my life afresh and maybe make something new and exciting with it. Well that is what I am telling myself anyway.So to help me make the most of the next year I have written myself a todo list.
My challenge should I choose to accept it is to complete (or at least try to complete) each of these things over the coming year. So without to much of an ado, I present.....
