It is my 39th birthday on Saturday; wow that seems so weird. While I am not bothered about getting older, I still think, and feel, as if I am in my twenties. It is a bit of a shock that in one year I will be forty! So, I decided to set myself a challenge to achieve 40 things that have been on my ‘I will get to them’ list before I turn forty! Some of the things will be relatively easy, while others will be a bit more of a challenge. When I was half way through my list I saw that Stevie had started her ’40 before 40′ list, so why not pop over and gives hers a read too. Wish me luck!
