    1. a house
    2. no debts
    3. fixed teeth!
    4. A Masters degree
    5. no clutter
    6. To be organised.
    7. To deal with my post and work filing.
    8. To have a husband
    9. To have kids
    10. To travel.

    Its been really good lately, got my 101 list,Memorygirl's challenge and my debt is going down. Boiler is going to be fixed YAY hot water.
    Shame work is pants but you cant have everything.

    You know what i really want I would love to spend my summer doing what I want, as opposed to a long list of jobs I have been putting off all term.

    oh and a space bar that works properly would be good its driving me nuts!!

    the guy is a very well known motivational speaker, but he wants to remain anonymous for the moment, and the goal is the same for 'us' as he sets for MG, but she's doing it in 50 days, whereas he normally does this longer - our target is 150 days. Apprantly he's doing the same with some people in the US at the mo. So out outcome is to increase our earnings and personal development.

    Ah now I get it, I could understand that it was for her but couldn't see the draw for others. Sounds very interesting

    he's speaking directly to MG and she's doing the challenges, then passing them onto us.

    Yes, the blog is great, very positive activities. Haven't managed to read much of the thread yet though!

    Am struggling too much to do it all though, which is a pity. Will pass it along to my mum, I think the boost would help her massively.
