1) Go on an Australian adventuring Rianney-moon (because I may never be a wedded woman) I've been meaning to do this for so long but something has always gotten in the way. It's more than high time to fulfill this dream in the land down under and besides my travel window of fun has been shut for too long.
2) Cuddle a wombat - these mega adorable marsupials have become my very favourite animal. They're just a big old pile of fluffy love and cuteness <3 :) <3
3) Tour Ramsay Street - And wedge in a word or two about how great I would be as a British extra in the Aussie soap ;) Erinsborough is the happiest fictional town in the history of the entire planet; so to get to roam around the cul-de-sac I've watched all of my lifetime would be AWESOME. If I meet Dr Karl Kennedy too and *that* level of manhood - life would be complete.
4) Put my heart into learning as much Spanish as possible over the next 12 months. In order to become a master of the idioma rather than an IDIOTA.
5) Blow a glass bauble. There's really no way I'll excel in the art but I'm excited to try my hands at it all the same.

7) Conquer my fears of swans (the evil psycho ducks that conspire against me) and walking over bridges. Or at least give it a good crack. Screaming and crying is no longer an option, so I will endeavour this one last attempt at a 'fix' for my phobias.
8) Dancing in the moonlight. I'd be so pathetically happy that there will be a glow from my heart paralleling the orb of the night sky. No moonies under the moon howevs :P
9) Partake in the grown up sophistication of classical music during the Salzburg festival. In my first official visit to Mozart town, I aim to stand corrected that an immersion in cultured refinement is not snooty and no fun.
10) Find that all encompassing, heart-stopping, makes-you-weak-at-the-knees, starry-eyed, eternal love. Definitely need to throw out some positive, mushy wushy vibes to the universe for this one as I can feel life just passing me by. Man, it's a depressing thought that I have been alone for essentially 1/3 of my life! :( I don't want to continue this single pringling, so I better get MINGLING ;) cos the crazy need love too.
12) Attend a gig of a band I've never heard of. Where no doubt I'll be trampled by head-banging moshers while I remain sort of unsure and frozen (and not in the Disney sense) to the spot. But LOVE it nonetheless.
13) Surprise someone I loveeeeee far away, in probably the cutest and creepiest custom I can. In the hopes, that the gesture will be appreciated.
14) Enjoy a movie moment of my own with an undefined male partner. Failing that, recreate an iconic scene from one of my go-to films of funniness.
15) Stay up all night and watch the sun rise - drinking it all in. I'm generally a morning hibernator, which I know is bone idle and not an excellent use of time so I often miss the splendour of daybreak. (The time we attempted this camping at the Lake District, we were facing the wrong direction so totally missed it!)
16) When in Rome, feast as the Italians do. Figuratively wolf down my weight in pasta, pizza, bruschetta and gelato. In spite of my insight, that 'the more I gobble, the greater I'll wobble!' Sooooooo worth it even if I won't be body beautiful :D
17) Purge myself of useless stuff and light up a bonfire of bad memories. Out with the old, in with the new, may this be the start of a brand, new YOU.
18) Dream up my own dessert recipe - a button-popping, belly-bloating, gluttonous gutty kind. It must be something that smells, looks and tastes CRAZY GOOD. So much so that I'll never maintain a swimsuit figure!
19) Have chocolatey-coloured hair so I'll no longer look like Freddy Krueger's sister who just died twice!!!
20) Uncover an 'undiscovered' (by me and the world at large) gem in my city. Where, you may wonder? No clue... the sky is the limit it seems. I should be the go to girl for Southampton, having lived here so long but I haven't been a tourist of what is on my own doorstep. Impress me, Soton!
22) Experience the wonder of a musical movie marathon. Can I handle the merriment of endless hours of warbling?
23) I-pod dance date around the town (as inspired by the movie Begin Again). I'm so sorry in advance a) to whoever I rope into coming with me b) to whomever crosses our path - because I'm a NUT and I don't (excuse the atrocious grammar) 'got the moves like Jagger!'
24) Read a Jane Austen novel or 2 - just reading her words will make me feel smarter. Sure, I've swooned over Colin Firth's dastardly, dashing portrayal of Mr Darcy, but it's not RIGHT that I get to 30 years of age without having read Pride and Prejudice in print.
25) Possess a pretty, PRETTY power outfit that I've paid top dollar for. Just because. Why do I need an occasion? I'm somewhat of a fashion accident at present so I'll probabababably need assistance picking it out.
27) Release floating lanterns into the sky like on Disney's Tangled, as my ridiculously deluded heart believes it will be a night of magic and at last I'll 'see the light.'
28) De-stress with a hot stone massage on a whim. I feel like it would be serene, relaxing and therapeutic, so should I find myself sinking into a deep depression - I'll book one! Even if I don't, I'll get one anyway cos I darn deserve it!!!
29) Be followed by 500 on Instagram. I'll Insta my pics off and I'll find it loverly :)
30) Be a Canuck cliche on my birthday, eh? It's ABOOT time I indulged in all that is Canadian in Canada. I hereby fully intend to: mingle with mooses, mount a Mountie, ingest true maple syrup, all manner of wintry activities (sleigh ride, toboggan, ice hockey, sledding), build an igloo and all that is Buble-related. November 19th 2015 seems like a fine day to start my 30's in a SNOWtally 'cool' way.
These will not be checked off necessarily in order and I will blog my progress :) Wish me luck xx
