I recently had a milestone birthday and my long-term relationship ended. Starting my life over again, I made a list of 100+ things I’ve been meaning to do but never quite made the time. People have asked what I've done and what's on my list. So here it is. Follow me as I complete the things on my Break Up Bucket List. Now updated to 300+ things on my New Life List.

#255: Wear an outrageous costume
Hell must have frozen over: I wore an 'Abba' metallic magenta onesie in public! Now, I'm normally a quiet, reserved person who does everything I can to avoid the limelight or being the centre of attention and in the aftermath of my breakup, or frankly even during the 9 years I was dating my Ex, I would NEVER have felt confident enough to do/wear something like this in private, let alone out in public. And even if I had, my Ex would have shamed me so much with 'not cool' looks and comments to wipe out any bit of fun I might have found dressing up so outlandishly. I've been working up to doing something like this for a little while, building my confidence bit by bit but there was really nothing I could do to truly prepare for being out in public other than just completely throw myself into the spirit and not care that I make an ass out of my myself. So doing this was a real departure for me and something that shows how seriously far I've come in my new life.
