    Have thought of some more....!!!

    7. Sort out the secondment from work to finish my nurse training... finally!!
    8. Get the tattoo on my wrist finished
    9. Open a savings account and start saving
    10. Hopefully get my fertility treatment sorted... (have started so hopefully that will be well underway by 30th birthday)
    11. Start making the most of my job instead of just seeing it as a wage packet at the end of the month....!!
    12. Do a short maths course at college to brush up on my skills - useful for work
    13. Pay off my payday loans - every month I say 'will do it this month' but never do!!!

    Phew! thats all i can think of for now but Im sure more will be forthcoming...

    I'm currently cheering you all on from the sidelines as I had a big birthday last year (but tried to ignore) and am trying to just come up with a small list of things to do in the next few years that aren't featured on my 101 to-do lists as just the thought of them, and I'm in severe avoidance mode.
