On 10th October 2015 I will be 50. This blog describes the 50 things I am determined to do before then and (hopefully) my successes in achieving them. These are all things I have wanted to do for some time but have never had the commitment, the opportunity, the energy or the balls! Two things that might make this a greater challenge are my attention deficit disorder - which makes it very difficult for me to stick at anything - and my two main phobias; acrophobia and batophobia.

World Record for Most Disorganised Event more like!
Okay - we arrived in plenty of time at 9am, duly wearing our onesies. The queue to drive in was massive and it took us half an hour to crawl the last few hundred yards. Once in we joined the foot queue; this still gave us an hour before the world record attempt but the queue was so long we were concerned. I asked several people working there what was happening, were they changing the times to get everyone in - no one knew. Eventually, an hour, later someone was able to tell us that the world record wouldn't include us. I was furious. We arrived in plenty of time and they simply had not organised the event to deal with large numbers of people. As we walked back to the car, to add insult to injury we could see the people who had got in receiving the news through the fence that they had broken the record. The joke of it was there were more of us outside than there were in - but of course we didn't count. Gutted and annoyed that if this had been organised properly we could all have been counted. Oh well - back to the drawing board - and thanks for nothing Drayton Manor Park.
