‘Buy a house’ and ‘publish a book’ may have been a little ambitious.Ī couple of months ago I did manage a trip to Bristol with Bee to tick off one more – place a bet in a casino. Still, I have three years to go, so I will have to make sure the extra ten I’ve yet to add are simpler to achieve than some of the existing items. I was 37 in April, which means I should have done at least 16 or 17 by now. I made the list when I was 35, meaning I had to accomplish them at the rate of eight per year. Slightly more concerning is the rate at which I am ticking them off. I’m not so worried about that though, as I have purposely left space for random things that I knew I would forget about. For a start, I only have 30 things on the list, which doesn’t feel quite comprehensive enough for a list of 40 things. I had a check up on my list of 40 things to do before 40 the other day and had a mild panic.
