My Bucket List for 2019

Happy New Year! Rather than sitting and writing a list of resolutions for the year ahead, I decided to do things my own way by switching resolutions for a wish list or sorts. With the new year comes a whole new bucket list filled with wishes, goals and hopes for the year ahead. So without further waffle or wittering, here is my bucket list for 2019:

1. Replace the bay windows in the living room.
2. Replace the windows in J’s room.
3. Complete the front of the house by replacing the windows in the office.
4. To find and book a summer holiday for the family.
5. To replace J’s outdated toy storage with more spacious furnishings.
6. To find and to buy a brand new pair of brown boots for the winter.
7. To find and to buy a brand new pair of black boots for work and for the winter months.
8. To return to Yoga or some alternative form of fitness.
9. To book E into weekly swimming lessons and to build her confidence in the water.
10. To measure up and to order three sets of blinds for the new windows once they are complete.
11. To replace E’s outdated stereo with an Amazon Echo Dot.
12. To find and purchase some furniture for the decking.
13. To drink less fizzy soda based drinks and to replace these with juice.
14. To spend time as a family enjoying days out and about.
15. To book and to enjoy a weekend away with the husband.
16. To recharge and to rekindle my love for reading.
17. To take the children for a day out to Blackpool Pleasure Beach (and quite possibly the Sandcastle)
18. To replace my rather worn night wear with a range of comfortable pyjamas for both summer and winter.
19. To relax a little more and to enjoy regular massages (both of the swedish and hot stone variety) with the wonderful Amber.
20. To lose at least half a stone.
21. To book at least one (if not two) gigs/ concerts and to have an evening out.
22. To replace my battered old piano stool with a longer bench.
23. To make a focused effort to teach E how to play the piano.
24. To find an after school/ extra curricular activity for J to attend and to enjoy.
25. To try to get to bed earlier, hopefully resulting in less late nights and weary mornings.
26. To clear out and to arrange the garage.
27. To find and to take part in a new blog-linky series.
28. To replace the sofa cushions.
29. To add further furniture to the office for stationary storage.
30. To stop over-thinking things and to reduce the general anxiety, stress and pressure of day-to-day issues through a less regimented and more spontaneous lifestyle.

So there you have it, that’s my thirty-point bucket list for 2019. Whether or not I’ll achieve all of the above is yet to be seen!
