Goal : 'Visit the pyramids'  
36 Visit the pyramids  
  The Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still surviving. There has been much speculation as to the purpose of the pyramids. It is generally thought they were tombs of great Pharaohs, but research has suggested that they might have been used as observatories and that they were perfectly aligned to the star constellations of that time. Whatever the purpose, there is no denying their construction was an amazing feat of engineering considering the limited construction and surveying tools available.
Visit the pyramids and see these amazing structures for yourself. Walk down the low, dimly lit corridors, experience the sights and smells and imagine what life was like 4500 years ago when these mysterious buildings were constructed.

37 Know your neighbours  
  Go outside and look down your road. How many of your neighbours can you say you know? In most cases, if you met them on the street, you may smile and nod in recognition. This suggestion is to get to know your neighbours better than that. Why not go round and introduce yourself? It doesn't matter if you have just moved in, or have lived there for 20 years, invite them in for a cup of coffee and some of your homemade biscuits. Maybe they have children like yours - there is usually a common bond to be shared and it is nice to feel you have someone right next door that you can depend on.

Goal : 'Learn something new'  
38 Learn something new  
  You're never too old to learn something new. Going through the process of learning a new skill from scratch may seem a daunting task, but if you enjoy what you're doing and you come away with a new string to your bow, then it's all been worthwhile.
The list of new things to learn is endless. You could perhaps go to an evening class and study a subject of interest. You could learn a new language, first aid, or how to play an instrument. You could also take up a new sport or hobby. Learn something new and exercise your mind.

39 Ask a stranger for a date  
  This is a challenge mainly for all you single people who never seem to meet anybody and haven't the nerve to ask someone out on a date. Perhaps there is someone at work who you find yourself daydreaming about, or maybe there is someone on your regular train journey whose eyes keep meeting yours. This suggestion is to do something about it, what's the worst that could happen? They are more likely to be flattered than offended, and who knows, they could be your future husband or wife.
You attached people don't have to miss out on the fun, try a bit of role play. Arrange to arrive at a bar separately one night and pretend not to know each other, then try and turn on the charm. At least you're guaranteed success, or are you?

Goal : 'Have a fun bet'  
40 Have a fun bet  
  The Grand National is a fine example of fun betting. To have a flutter and watch the horse you have chosen run the race gives you excitement, not necessarily of winning money, but the thrill of the race itself. Likewise, having a small bet on your team to win a football match adds an extra element of excitement to the game. Everyone should also experience the satisfaction of winning a bet and taking money off a bookmaker at least once. Remember, only bet what you can afford to lose, there's a huge difference between betting for fun and betting with all your money.
