Looking forward past December and my mind is currently contemplating next April. In April I will turn 40 and I want to celebrate in style. Travelling is something I plan to do more of as the children get older. I am adventurous and want to do more than just the usual holiday destinations. I want to do different things and experience different cultures, eat different food and see the sites therefore I am setting goals. I have gotten the travelling bug later than many. When I left University rather than travel I wanted to be a mum and now that millennium baby is almost 16 I feel the travelling bug and I want to take the children with me. I have created myself a little list of six things that I plan to achieve during my forties:
Turning 40 – what I aim to achieve in the next ten years.
- Take a Hot Air balloon ride. I have wanted to go in a hot air balloon for as long as I can remember. Sipping champagne as as I float over fields sounds so beautiful.
- visit Mexico – my dream destination!
- Go on a city break with girl friends. I have never done this, apart from London. I would love to drop the carwith airport parking and head off for a weekend of sighseeing, drinking and shopping.
- Own a Mulberry bag, materialistic I know! Finding one in a charity shop would make my year, so far I have found a Radly purse but it shows you can strike gold!
- Jump out of a plane, I am not good with heights but know that I would love the rush of adrenalin from doing it.
- Lose two stone. Since leaving teaching I have put on weight as I sit about more working on my laptop.
- Learn photography. I would like to know how to use my camera much better. I often have photo envy from fellow bloggers!
As I do each of these six things I will find something else to add to the list. I think it is always good to have goals. However that still hasn’t helped me to decide how to see in my fourth decade. Maybe a weekend away with friends in a cottage with a hot-tub and a chef. Well a girl can dream right!

Wow – I only have goals for the next few months – I never plan 10 years in advance! Definitely something to think about though.
