52 new things, in 52 weeks

I'm going to let you in on a secret. I can sometimes be a little bit lazy. Some weekends can go by and I won't have achieved much, if anything at all. I may have had a good day in front of Netflix, or cleaned the bathroom but I won't have tried anything new. Now, I know I have the bucket list I've restarted, but many of the items on that list are big, expensive tasks. I also want to try things that are a bit more achievable, and on a budget. Therefore along with the bucklet list I have decided to challenge myself to trying 52 new things over the next 52 weeks. Some are big, but some are small, some will cost but others will be free or cheap. Some things on the list I really want to try, others I am unsure of but I won't know until I give them a go!

I have put the list together with help from Stuart, as well as some input from George and John when they were stuck inside a car with me for an hour, so couldn't escape. Thanks guys! 

So here is the plan, one new thing a week, for 52 weeks. So one new blog post a week showing what I have done. My weeks are going to run from Sunday - Saturday and will begin on Sunday 6th September.
