Read this article this morning online and cannot begin to say how brave I think this young lady with terminal cancer is. She has made a bucket list of all the things she wants to do before she dies.

It got me wondering how many of us, although we are lucky enough not to have a terminal illness, have a list of things to do before we die. This site is quite inspirational.http://www.bucketlist.net/
as it includes not only what we would like but also what we would like for others.

Football. Bad manners.
I haven't thought my bucket list through properly as yet. It mainly contains a backlog of reports I have to write; making sure I've got enough money to pay for my funera;, being organised for my executor - oh, and housework! :lol:

How awful for this young lady, I just heard that Take That have agreed to meet her and Cadbury's Chocolate factory have said they will grant her wishes too, so young, so tragic and my heart goes out to Alice and her family.

Rubbish doctors who dont listen. Unclean hospitals
When I got told about my kidney issues and expected time frames I made a bucket list. I'm working through it. So far been to a few countries and given up work to finish my education I never did. I'm fortunate that I don't only have a few months but still the same some things should not be put off.

That girls blog was tearjerking just wish I could contribute in some way :|

I'm with you on the finances and funeral plans, but housework I will happily leave to my heirs ;)

Yay for bucket lists!
Am determined to go to see the Edinburgh Tattoo which I have been planning for the last two years and should be off on August 18th, Tattoo on 19th, and coming home 21st. So a 3 night stay in quite a good hotel plus First Class train travel is my Birthday (22nd) present to me. :lol: Being 76 and disabled I will have to muster my best foot forward to achieve this but it's something I have wanted to see for absolutley yonks.

Love to go to the Palladium - just 'cos it's the Palladium!
And want to go on a cruise which I may well do over this next Xmas time.

- - Still thinking.... :p
