Bucket List

A friend called yesterday to try to cheer me up, and told me about her bucket list. Not because she is going to die, but just she wants to make her mark on this life, and do some things before she does pop her clogs.

She told me to make one, but at the moment I just don't have any ambitions or wants in life. :confused::sigh:

What are your top bucket list 'want to do's' ?
Maybe some of you will inspire me and I can pinch your idea's.
 
I would love to get a degree and renew my vows as a slim wife.

I want to do a parachute Jump. The day i make 13 1/2 stone it WILL be booked. I to would like to renew my vows to my wonderful supportive hubby who has supported me 100%. Hes been to every appointment, every monthly meeting and is now going to do a talk at salford on how surgery effects loves ones. x
 
Magsy, you will have to let me know when that is - would like to pop in - can anyone attend there who have had Mr Ammori? even if they didnt have op at SRH?
 
Great thread ! I started my Bucket List the week before surgery and it's getting quite big now. Just a few of the things on it are:
Fly over the Nile in a hot air balloon.
Learn to ride a horse.
Take up Kyaking.
Visit my friend in America.
Travel in New Zealand and Australia.
Complete a Fun Run.
Wear a size 14.
Live by the seaside.
See the Northern Lights.
Walk up Snowdon again.
Start going out places with my hubby regularly.
Go to New York.
To really feel confident - I am so feeling this already :eek:)

I keep adding things- large and small all the time and have already started to tick some of the boxes. Life's to short so have decided to get on with it !
 
I'm loving this thread but feel sad that I can't think of anything!

Starr's trip on the Harley sounds tempting though xxx
 
I'd love to re-new my vows and wear a big puffy white dress.

I would love to climb a real mountain, not my normal emotional ones!

I also want to learn to dance, never felt brave enough to dance before. Now I have nothing stopping me apart from nautral rhythm!!

This has worked like a kind of curse. I have loved reading all your wishes, but it has left me crying, over all the ones that involve renewing vows and spending time with kids. I wish you all the best with that, and truly cherish your loved ones... One of my biggest regrets is not having children, although they would be grown up now.

And you are not sad Maryann, that is why I started this thread! BUT on a more positive note, I have pinched some idea's, although many are far to glamorous and exotic! And energetic for that point (Haylz this is your list!!) Your lists have rekindled some things I had forgotten I want to do, so my list has started.

Hot air balloon / microlight (always wanted a microlight)

Climb a mountain (not mountain climbing though!)

Learn to dance (lindy hop for some reason, but I am with Cicca no rythem)

Run up my local hill Carn Brea, the last hill in England (The carpark is situated about 2/3rd way up, so this is not as energetic as it sounds)

Run out of steam - no that isn't one, I have lost my mojo - I also need some little more easily doable wishes... Anyone?!

Egypt and New York are out, as they were hubbies wishes, and we never got to them. I would love Australia and NZ but couldn't ever afford to go. Again I would like to drive from San Francisco to L.A down route 101. Did it in 1984 when I was 20 with my mum, couldn't afford to again.
 
Money is a big problem for most of us and fuflling our dreams isn't it? I'm so broke, after working hard all my life, but am thinking of how I can save for my expensive ambitions. it'll take me years to get the money together, and it'll be at least 18 years before I can 'do' New Zealand and Oz because of money and because I have to go to work- but I'm planning on the long haul.
Before my op I wouldn't have even hoped to be alive in 18 years !
It's natural to feel regret at the minute Trish, as you're going through such a traumatic time. But you will start to feel more positive and look to the future when you start to heal. I hope that will be very soon love.
