My Second ’30 Before 30′ Update

So, here we are. Next month I turn 30. NEXT MONTH. I can’t believe this..and I also can’t believe how little I’ve ticked off from my 30 Before 30. Want to see how bad I’m doing? Just read on..

ONE | GET OUT OF MY OVERDRAFT
I’ve got out of one of my overdrafts..does that count?

TWO | LET GO OF GRUDGES
Easy. Time heals everything, it turns out.

THREE | TAKE PART IN THE RICKSHAW RUN
I obviously haven’t done this (it would be all over social media and I wouldn’t shut up about it if I had) but my boyfriend is open to the idea at some point so let’s see?

FOUR | CREATE A STAPLE WARDROBE
Getting there!

FIVE | GET A NEW TATTOO
SIX | TRAVEL. LIKE, PROPERLY.

SEVEN | GET UP TO DATE WITH SUPERNATURAL
Lol. I haven’t even started.

EIGHT | FINISH (WRITING) MY BOOK
NINE | COMPLETE THE 30 DAY SQUAT CHALLENGE
I almost did it! On my last attempt, I got up to day 18 or 19! I swear..

TEN | GET A NEW PIERCING
ELEVEN | REDECORATE MY ROOM
TWELVE | LET GO OF SILLY BOYS
THIRTEEN | STOP USING DATING WEBSITES AND APPS
I have a boyfriend now, don’tcha know?!

FOURTEEN | GET A SMEAR TEST
FIFTEEN | KISS A ROCKSTAR
My boyfriend is/was in a band (as, somehow, were all of my boyfriends) and we’re pretty happy so I don’t think I’ll be in any position to be kissing anyone else anytime soon..

SIXTEEN | CROWD SURF
SEVENTEEN | GO BACK TO THERAPY
EIGHTEEN | SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
It’s funny how being away from home makes you appreciate your family and make time for them more.

NINETEEN | PASS MY BLOGGING GOALS
TWENTY | OPEN A HELP TO BUY ACCOUNT
Done! Well, a Lifetime ISA in place of a Help 2 Buy account. Read about my experiences here.

TWENTY-ONE | FINISH READING HOUSE OF LEAVES
TWENTY-TWO | GET MY DREAM JOB
TWENTY-THREE | HAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND
Thank you, Chip!

TWENTY-FOUR | START (AND FINISH?) A SCRAPBOOK
TWENTY-FIVE | RUN 5K
Lol. I don’t even know where my trainers are right now…

TWENTY-SIX | COOK MY OWN ROAST DINNER
TWENTY-SEVEN | TRAVEL AFAR SOLO (AGAIN?)
TWENTY-EIGHT | SEE A WEST END SHOW
TWENTY-NINE | SPEND A NIGHT AT CRAZY BEAR HOTEL
THIRTY | GO TO ANOTHER GIG WITH MY SISTER

Ten out of thirty. A third! That’s not too bad, right? Most of these points are easy, like finish reading House Of Leaves (I just need to remember to pick it up when I’m next home. Do you know how big and heavy that book is?!) and booking another smear test. The bigger points like travel aren’t going to be as easy but rest assured, I am planning for some travels for next year!

How do you think I’m doing? Let me know!
