My anti-bucket list of 100 things I don't want to do...

And you ask, why would I write a list of things I don't want to do. Because one way or another, it makes me think of things that I would love to do. There's always a balance of equals and opposites and ruling out the horrors that don't interest me or frighten me witless, will help me think about what I really want to do. When someone asked me this week "If you could ask one question, have one thing, what would it be?" I was dumbfounded. My life feels great but it's often too local, too day-to-day. Other people dictate what happens in my life and there's not enough 'it's out there' thinking. Most of us live our lives that way until we encounter someone who lives their life the other way.
I like people who challenge my thinking. People often say they don't know where the last week, month, year has gone and you know why they say that...? It's because they have forgotten to create those milestones and special memories along the way that make every second count.
So what's first on my list of things that I don't want to do... that would have to be bungee jumping! The thought scares me silly and I really don't trust elastic that much. Remember when for no apparent reason your knicker elastic went slack.. mmm see, what I mean!
So here's the start of my top 100 wish list of things I want to do...
