  • I turned 21 on the 20th of April so can I do a belated one and do it for turning 22? :D

    1. Have most if not all of the wedding planned out (will be in Oct 2010 so would be just under 6 months away then)
    2. Have made a good start on our baby savings
    3. Have the spare room decorated.
    4. Have plans sorted for the new kitchen, redoing the garden and creating gym.
    5. Manage to actually keep up with my blog/website
    6. Get some systems/routines in place for housework.
    7. Expand my knowledge of cooking (from limited....to basic :rotfl:)
    8. Got into the habit of using the library more

    *Will come up with more later *
    I'll admit that I am a massive spreadsheet geek:rotfl:
    OH proposed on the 1st December
    New car, new house and a wedding to plan!!!:D
