The problem with lists like this is judging how realistic to be. I mean, I have some really big dreams, but financially I honestly don't think that I'll be able to save up to do them, before the end of 2013. But then again, January 1st 2008, I never expected to be going to Canada five months later, just like January 1st 2011 I never expected to be going to Turkey five months later. Life is just so unpredictable, and I want my list to be achievable but interesting at the same time :)
1. Lose one stone in weight (24.02.2013 - so far I've lost eight pounds!)
2.
3. Have a Manicure
4. Dye my hair purple, one last time
5.
6. Organise a Creative Writing Reunion, I really miss my Uni Creative Writers
7. Walk up Steep Hill in Lincoln
8. Walk from Tanygrisiau to Tany Bwlch (I did this walk many years ago, when I was much younger, and I know it'll be tough this time, but I really would like to do it again!)
9. Exercise every day, for at least three months
10. Complete my entire Pilates DVD without feeling tired, in one work out
11.
12. Finishing writing the first draft of my novel
13. Encourage a minor celebrity to take part in my Positive Beauty Pledge (how awesome would that be??)
14. Learn

22. Try ten new, healthy recipes
- Egg and Prawn Fried Rice (16.02.2012). This really didn't go too well, because I discovered that I don't like cooked prawns, and that I only like them in a prawn salad :)
- Turkey Burgers (Various Occasions). Okay, so I didn't actually make them, the other half did, but they're yummy and healthy, so I say that they count :P Plus I'd never tried Turkey Burgers before :)
- Ham and Cheese Chicken (08.07.2012). Didn't quite go to plan, and the ham wasn't really with the cheese or the chicken, but it still tasted nice :D
- Chicken and Vegetable Soup (15.01.2013)
- Chicken, Potato and Leek Soup (19.01.2013)
- Chunky Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup (02.02.2013)
- Mushroom Risotto (11.02.2013) I was....boring! Just plain boring.
- Chicken and Mushroom Risotto (12.02.2013) Better with the chicken, but I don't think that I'm a fan of Risotto!!)
24. Go to Oxford
25.

27. Find a new hobby
28. Watch 30 films

30. Have an AWESOME 30th!!
What would be on your 30 Before 30 List? Or whatever big age will be your next (hey, no one is here to judge ;))
6 beautiful fairies had something to say:
What a cool idea. I'll be turning 30 in 2014 and if practicality wasn't an issue and I could have anything on my list the top 2 would be go to New York and be a published author.

I'd love to go to New York too, but in reality I'm 99% certain I wouldn't be able to manage that one :)
I'm 27 this year and have decided to make a 30 by 30 list. So far I only have 11! They are get married, London eye, PJ party, afternoon tea, visit Bath, visit Chester, visit Paris, girls Bendiorm break, cook a 3 course meal, eat at a sushi bar and make a pizza from scratch.
I get married this year & am going to Benidorm for my hen. Am also planning on having a PJ when OH is on his stag so I know I'll be doing at least three! xx
I really fancy the London Eye, but the OH is scared of heights, so I don't think that'll be happening any time soon unfortunately!!
Chester is a beautiful place by the way, I was there with my Mum last summer :)
My 30th is in August of this year - I have to say I have put off making a list as I know how disappointed I will be if I don't finish it. I just want to go to New York, although my partner seems less keen. He hates flying so it may be a single return ticket for me! I WILL make it happen xx good luck on the list xx
Great list - I might think about making one of these soon so I have time to prepare :)
I like no.18 - come visit Edinburgh, I can show you around :)
