Challenges

Everyone sets themselves challenges - things to do before I'm 30, 40, 50, etc

My challenge before I was 40 was to write a book, it's now my challenge to do it before I'm 50. Fortunately I've now got nine years to go at it so plenty of time.

Apparently that's the most common challenge that most people set themselves. Are there any more exciting ones out there?

Re: Challenges

mine was to do a parachute jump... never managed it and may never get chance since injuring my back.... but who knows. My next challenge is to go to the world cup finals in South Africa in 2010 with my 2 boys as my eldest will be 18 and I will be 40 that year so it will be a hol of a lifetime..

I'd like to go to prison, but on the understanding that if I didn't like it I could check out.

Re: Challenges

I don't know. Like you say it's like a holiday camp, and everything is done for you, no bills etc.

I've done everything else I set out to do. Boring eh?
