I really like your traveling section.
Good luck!
Thank you.
I’ve got so many places to visit in the next 2.75 years
Good luck with your list. I love the family category. What a lovely idea, I didn’t even think to include them on mine, that’s so terrible of me isn’t it?
not at all!
I only remembered mine because of looking at another list
However, the idea of creating a photo album is wonderful and i’m glad it’s on there – just need to start using my camera more (and stop being so shy about it!!)
you need to put that friggin camera away, haha nah i love it. we need to do some of this stuff, im sure i could help you cross off some of the things on here, esp zoo! yey and i wanna go to the british museum, you need to book some holiday days off work.
we could go LDN for a few days and go to London Zoo and the museums etcetc!!
Excellent list! You’ve really thought it out. Good luck on achieving the rest of your goals!
