30 things to do before I'm 30

I had my 29th birthday a couple of weeks ago and it made me think. 30 is traditionally the age when women start to panic about not having a man, or not having children, or not having done this or that, so I've decided to make a list of things I want to do before my 30th birthday, on March 18 2009.

I'll cross them off when I've done them, and if they're interesting enough I'll tell you about them ;-)
