    Nah I'm cursed with weddings, that's banned from my list. Plus I can't control it! I won't even buy those books to make wedding stationary as it's bad ju-ju!

    Start a list Cinny! I did my 'goals for 2009' list a couple of weeks ago, but that isnt so much things to achieve as aims for how I want my life to progress.

    But as far as I'm aware you're not cursed to destroy your happiness, so I think it can go on your list!

    I have lists, but not goal lists it's more like.

    'Don't forget: *enter items here*' but not list lists. I'll have to get my filofax out and start one. I'll do 10 things for 2009, and 30 things before i'm 30

    My Outcomes For 2009:
    • Pay off debt
    • Have £10,000 in savings by Christmas 2009
    • Go on holiday outside Europe
    • Devote 10 hours per week minimum to creative projects
    • Join a gym once debt free and go at least twice a week!
    This list isn't scary as it's not so much challenging myself as guiding me in the right direction. My 30 by 30 list is a bit more daunting!

    Now stop that, you're happy aren't you? I always used to say I was born under a cloud as I seemed to be unlucky with everything. And I know everyone says they're unlucky, but it was at the point where other people were starting to say it! Had a couple of good years though - isn't there something about Saturn's Return? It moves in 7 year cycles or something and so does your life? Or something. :confused:

    You're only 17 aren't you? If I'm doing 30 by 30 you can jolly well do 100 :p ! The original, KT, 's doing 100 I think.
