Sixes and Sevens

Here's my lists from my tagging.

Seven things to do before I die:
1. Have a family – this could be listed from 1 thru to 7!
2. Get a Cat & a Dog – need a backyard first
3. Travel to China – loved going to Vietnam a couple of years ago, would love to see to China.
4. Set up and run my own business
5. Have a garden and grow herbs
6. Live by the sea
7. Learn to drive

Seven things I cannot do:
1. Drive – embarrassing I know, had driving lessons when I was 16, but lost my confidence after a near crash.
2. Ski
3. Sew
4. Climb a tall ladder – unbelievable fear of heights
5. Make pavlova … yet!
6. Great stretch blow dry

4. I’ve got to knock off early today … [at work when I have yet another appointment]
5. I’m exhausted – fertility drugs, early morning blood tests and ultra sounds
