Well today's the day - I officially turn 30! So far it's been a fabulous day and I have already received some wonderful presents from my family, including something that will help me complete one of the challenges! I am so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends, thank you to them all for their support and advice over the past 30 years.
Right, so here is the list. I found this so hard to choose as there were a total of 70 suggestions from friends and family and I will endeavour to complete the other 40 before I am 40! I have added the names of each suggestee as well. There is no order these will be completed in - it will be as and when they arise but I hope to keep you all updated with my progress. Some on here are easy and chosen purely because I want to do them, others will prove to be a great challenge. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do.
