31 Today!

Last year I did a 30 by 30 bucket list, so this year I'm switching it up and listing 31 things I've already accomplished. :)

---

#1. Became a Mum (to the best little girl in all the world!)

#2. Got Married.

#3. Shown some sticking power; this blog's coming up five years old now.

#4. Spoke in public - each and every time feels like a triumph over anxiety.

#5. Was Elected - three times!

#6. Blagged nearly £1000 worth of stuff through blogging.

#7. Briefly - very briefly - made it into the top 100 on Tots.

#12. Learned another language.

#13. Was in the newspaper.

#14. And on the radio.
