30 things I want to do in my 30s

In January I celebrated my 30th birthday (eek!) Since then, I’ve slowly but surely been adding to a list of things I’d like to do or accomplish in my 30s! Now I’ve got to 30 things, it makes sense to get it published. Although, I might make an exception if I suddenly think of something REALLY good. Putting this out into the world makes me more likely to actually stick to doing these things too. I’ll be updating it each time I achieve something!

Things I’ve done

1. Go to Download Festival

Achieved June 2022 – I went to Download in 2017 and had such an amazing time. I knew that I wanted to go again to celebrate my 30th so my husband booked tickets as my present! I can’t even describe how fantastic it was to be back at Download Festival again. If only I could afford to go every year. Seeing KISS and Iron Maiden were definitely moments I’ll never forget. Especially seeing Reuben rock out to the latter! I was such a proud mum. I could just be myself there and had so much fun soaking up the atmosphere and seeing so many brilliant bands.
