Introduction and full list of 40!
Hello and Welcome. My name is Kate, and I am 32 years old. I thought I would take some time to start this blog and to also include the full list of 40 things I want to achieve before I turn 40 on 26th October 2019!
Not long before my 32nd birthday I woke up one day and had an epiphany (I just had to Google the spelling of the word!). I came to realise that I have done nothing with my life other than I am a home owner (Well 50% of an apartment). I hadn't actually done any of the things that I have always wanted to do, which made me quite sad.
I decided that I would do something about it, and that I also wanted to document my progress over the next 8 years!
A little bit about me:
Lives: Swindon
Likes: Formula One, Jenson Button, Swindon Town FC, Baking, Theme Parks, Not working, Payday
Dislikes: Liars, People with poor grammar/spelling, Paying Bills, Lewis Hamilton (I have more but dont want to sound too hateful!)
Ok, so here goes with my list. In total, the list took about two weeks to put together (I thought it would be easy but didnt want it to be impossible to achieve or not challenging enough!
