13 Things I Want To Do In 2019

A new year means we have a blank canvas for planning things! I thought I'd share 13 things I want to do in 2019!

1 - GO TO A CONCERT

My boyfriend very kindly got us tickets to see Boyzone in their final tour for my Christmas. He has even booked us into a hotel in glasgow while we're there (brownie points x1000). The concert is on January 26th so I don't need to wait too long - I've even had him answering Boyzone trivia questions haha!

2 - CELEBRATE VALENTINES DAY

I can't remember the last time I felt happy on Valentines Day. Hopefully this year will be a lot different and I really want to do something special with Chris. Having said that, having a takeaway and a cuddle on the couch is special enough! It just would be nice to feel happy on V Day, Usually I spend the day drowning my sorrows with a bottle of Disaronno.

3 - LEARN TO DRIVE

I'm not putting any pressure on myself, but I would like to learn to drive and if I could just take the plunge to book that first lesson then I reckon i'd take to it like a fish in water.

4 - GO TO A GIN DISTILLERY

There's a Gin distillery in my local area and loads of people have been ranting about it. I'd love to go and sample everything... obvs.

5 - GO STARGAZING

I love looking up at the stars on a summers night, so this year I want to go to the park with a blanket, lie down on the grass and look at the stars. Sounds ridiculous, but it just sounds so beautiful.

6 -TRY SOMETHING NEW

Whether that be getting into herbal teas or becoming a nudist (LOL!!)) I just want to broaden my horizons and try something new. Life is all about experimenting afterall!

7 - START SAVING FOR MY PENSION

I have no idea where to start or what I'm doing but I reckon by the time I'm 65 there will be no such thing as pensions, so now is a good time to start, even if it is just small change!

8 - HAVE A BBQ

Aye it's Scotland. I know it's unlikely we'll get a heat wave anytime soon, but I would love to host a wee BBQ in the summer time with all my faves. Drinking outside is so much more fun than in front of the TV crying at a David Attenborough programme...

9 - GET MY HAIR DID

I rarely get my hair done and I always play it safe with my hair. I'm definitely not a 'LETS GO BLUE!' kinda lass, but it would be nice to experiment with it a little.

10 - GO ON HOLIDAY

My littlest sister Mandy is turning 30 this June. Whenever one of us has turned 30 we've done something special. I went to New York, Katy & Sarah Jane went to Florida so it's Mandys turn. I think she fancies Canada but who knows where we'll end up!

11 - GO TO A BONFIRE

I must be feeling all naturistic or something but I would love to toast marshmallows by a bonfire! Hopefully someone somewhere will be having one that I can attend without getting a restraining order!

12 - 'NOTEBOOK' MY BOYFRIEND

Do you remember 10 years ago there was this obsession with watching the Notebook and making our boyfriends watch it, knowing fully that they will cry (and hopefully take on some tips to treat us the way Noah treats Ally..)? Chris revealed last week that he has never seen it, so whilst I might be 32 years old, I'm going to 'notebook' him - AKA stare at Ryan Gosling for 2 hours. It never gets old!

13 - GO TO EDINBURGH'S CHRISTMAS MARKETS

I go every year but I never get the chance to stay overnight and experience it at night time. For 2019, I definitely plan on going for an overnight stay.

So there's everything I can think of that I want to do in 2019! What do you have planned?
