  • Final event: Kate's Ceilidh Mark II
  • The list takes priority over all, including significant life plans
  • Brainstorming: for preference, over coffee

Three Years to 30

Aged 27, or nearly 27, we sat drinking coffee and milkshakes, eating cake, and talking about how 30 was actually quite soon. We wanted to achieve more. And exciting stuff. Not careers or babies.

From this, as though it were the most original idea in the world, we decided to make a list. Three years til we're 30; 30 things to achieve.

Let's go.
