and so the tradition continues, a list of all the little things I fancy doing over the next 12 months before my 38th birthday, some realistic, some are just a dream! I have been doing this for four years now after seeing the inspiring Hula's lists and I quite like writing lists, especially of all the nice whimsical things I want to do or just things to look forward to.

A very intriguing list Emma - especially the last item!!! You have inspired me to go and do a list of my own as my birthday is a couple of weeks away. The Beach Hut looks like heaven on earth - one day.....

Have a very happy birthday!

Inspired by your list last year, I wrote a list of 40 things I wanted to do when I was 40, no. 1 of which was have a baby... and Alice was born in July! So I am a big fan of your list idea! The only thing was that her arrival meant that a lot of the other things on the list will just have to be done when I am 41...(including write a blog!) Have a very happy Birthday and what a truly fabulous list! Enjoy it!
