32 Things I’ve Learnt In 32 Years

It was my birthday this week so I figured I’d do a “what I’ve learnt” post like I see so often around people’s birthdays.

Most of the time though, the bloggers who do these posts are 10 years younger than me! I’m actually not sure if I can think of 32 things I’ve learnt…. I’ve certainly forgotten more than than that these days!

Well, I’ll give it a go anyway…..

Well actually, I don’t think I done too badly! And I wrote that all in a record time I’m sure!

I’ve found that being in your 30’s is actually far better than expected. You know what you want from life by then and are more comfortable in your own skin. I love where I am in life and I look forward to reading this back in 10 years time. I’ll probably laugh at it all by then!
