**Daily Chat Thread**13th Sep 2010 - with a seven day challenge!

Okay

I just want to do something - and I wondered if you lot wanted to join in. This will take seven days. I will give you something to do every day - its not specific - its personal - to you.:D

It is still about them pesky frogs.

Todays task is:
DECIDE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!

Not hard huh!

Think about what you want to achieve in life...where do you want to be. Don't do anything with these ideas - just spend the day thinking about what you want to achieve in life, how you best want to be remembered.

I don't want to hear any negative thinking....about why you can't achieve things I just want you to think of what you want to do if there were no obstacles in your way.

On that note I am off for a bath for a think....

    Good morning Sammy :)

    At the moment i'm concentrating on having a nice warm friendly home, that is clean tidy and clutter free, I want to beable to not feel embarrased when my friends or anyone for that matter comes here. And to beable to clean without havig to lug tools and boxes around :)

    Every room here is cluttered and half decorated :( dh seems to want to start something then looses interest, the living room was decorated 3 years ago and still hasn't been finished. Now the kitchen is half done too :( Plus the bathroom still has to be finished too :(.

    looks like i'm going to have to bite the bullet and get on a ladder and start painting myself.

    my challenge this morning is to see how much i can clear by 9pm, then i need to have a shower and go and meet mum.

    Morning Sammy, thanks for this

    I want to be the best teacher that I can be and want to pass on my knowledge to trainees so.......
    • I want to be a teacher of Initial teacher training
    • I want to pay off my mortgage in under 3 years
    • I want my children to feel financially safe and secure and be successful in life
    • I want a long and happy retirement with my darling Husband where we can go travelling on the adequate retirement pot we have grown
    and I want to see Morrissey again

    Is that the kind of thing you mean?:)
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    That is the kind of thing I mean Lou....you don't necessarily need to write them down today....I want you to think about it all day..let your imagination run riot.

    Try to think of at least ten things....

  • What can I say, thinking about what I want in life is something I excel at. My family always said it's a pity there's not a degree available in daydreaming. :rotfl: Unfortunately, I won't have time to list them until later on this evening anyway. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an elephant to finish off. :D

    Thanks for the challange Sammy. I'll have a think.....but for starters;
    • A job in social housing development
    • A supportive relationship (think I already have this)
    • A part-time job with a housing angle
    That's about it for now.

    My man was so supportive when we went out in Glasgow on Saturday that when I went off the kerb at an angle he didn't let go and we both ended up sprawled in the road. My hero :rotfl:

  • Morning everyone,

    Sammy thank you for the thought provoking challenge!

    I want to do the following@

    - Graduate by 2013, it's doable as long as I don't take any 'gap years'.
    - Be df by 2013, be fantastic if both of them coincided together.
    - Have a house that I'm proud of, i.e not cluttered. That reminds me I really need to take the fridge ot the skip. It's been sat in the corner of the living room for ages now!
    - Do one room up of my apartment up at a time.
    - Be more organised with my next Open Uni ecomomics course.
    - Set aside half an hour every evening for me and me alone!
    - Have a little cottage by the sea. (A girl can dream!)

    I hope that's what you're looking for sammy?

    Lots of love,

    LMC x
