Bucket lists are an odd thing. They are meant to be all the things you want to achieve and do before you essentially kick the bucket. I've had a bucket list as long as I can remember but looking back at it the other day I thought it needed a little pick-me-up. I think as I've grown up my list has needed to grow up too. Items such as 086 - Order Room Service probably need to go as where I once deemed it a luxury, its not something I would be annoyed about not ever doing now.
Below is my current list, which the original can be found here, with what I want to remove struck through and at the bottom are my latest 10 additions to the list.

I think I need to go through and make a priorities bucket list out of the above for the things that I want to prioritise on the list above some of the others as the list itself is probably a teeny-tiny bit unachievable, unless I won the lottery. What would you have on your bucket list? What would your top 5 be? I'd love to know... also is there anything you think I'm missing?
Make sure to follow me on Bloglovin', Insta, Twitter and Pinterest to keep up to date with how I'm getting on. I'm giving blood on Friday for the first time ever, which is on the list, and really nervous as I hate needles but first I have to leave for the train to see Coldplay!
