I am sure you all have a bucket list of sorts. Mine is rather long and includes things like travel, gadgets and stuff for our home. My list also contains a few crazy things like bungee jumping and getting a tattoo. When Nedbank asked me to share the top items on my Nedbank Bucket List, I had to think hard about where my priorities lie.

So what are the items at the top of my Bucket List? International travel would usually be my first choice; there are however a few household items, as well as renovation projects that take priority.
Home
The first two items on my list are both home orientated. Firstly the flooring in our living room, dining room and kitchen, is in desperate need of replacing. If any of you have done renovations lately, you will know exactly how costly flooring can be!
Second on the list is a new oven/range. We inherited an old Eurogas range when we moved into our new home a few years ago. Sadly I had to leave my stunning new Smeg range behind when we sold our previous home. That, however, is an unfortunate story for another time. I know that these items do not come cheap but I love cooking, and the old oven is falling apart.

Naturally, travel does feature on my medium-term bucket list because it is something I love doing! There are a few places on my radar at the moment. Closer to home would be Zanzibar, which I have heard is beautiful. Other destinations on my list include New Zealand, as well as somewhere exotic like China or Japan.

The other things I would love to do in the very near future are bungee jumping and a hot air balloon trip. I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so these types of activities have always appealed to me.
Lastly and possibly the craziest of the lot is a tattoo. My hubby and I have been talking about this for the longest time, and I think 2019 might be the year. So watch this space.
A lovely list I know but most of these things cost a considerable amount of money. If you are like us and have kids at school, you will understand that disposable income is a distant memory.
I will let you in on a little secret. Quite a few of our travel trips were financed with a credit card. I am not saying get into heaps of debt, leaving no money for food at the end of the month. Credit, however, can be your friend. It is all about how well you manage your money and how quickly you make your repayments.
A well-managed credit or cheque card is the ideal way of funding the extraordinary, as well as the more necessary purchases you desire. By using your bank cards responsibly, you can finance items and experiences through various convenient digital payment channels. The bonus is the additional rewards you can earn in the process.

Hi, Fiona. I just bought a house which I haven’t done any work to it except to build a wall around the yard and tried fitting in the shower door which is not properly fitted due to the fact that the bathroom wall is not straight and this saddens me since I’m a paying a lot of money every month but the house is not really in a satisfactory condition.
It is a new development house but the walls are starting to crack and the contractor told me that it is acceptable cracks.
So, for me my Nedbank Bucket list experience is to have a well fixed house that is tiled on the floor and wall in all rooms and which is fitted with kitchen, bathroom and bedroom wall units.
My other desire is to have the house repainted inside and outside. Thank you
