Well, the bucket list topic got me thinking... What are your favourite things you've already done, perhaps things you'd have already ticked off a "bucket list" if you'd done one.

Don't have to be anything overly spectacular, could be something as simple as getting married (or divorced :P )

Lets stick to 5 for the time being?

1. Living abroad (lived in Tenerife for 6months)
2. Own a BMW Convertible (always wanted a BMW, always wanted a convertible)
3. Done charity work in Africa (coached football and taught English in Mombasa, Kenya)
4. Completed 42mile charity walk/run 4 times for charity (http://www.keswick2barrow.co.uk/)
5. Kylie Minogue once called me cute (struggling for 5 now haha)
 
My five would have to be

1 got married (soul mate)
2 loop the loop for charity (fun)
3 stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon (WOW)
4 went to Romania with medical relief (sad)
5 got the Zed (love it)

still trying for the hole in one (wont give up)
 
I soloed the big bit at the far end. 160 feet high and some was overhanging.
