*Daily Chat Thread 15th Sep 2010* Day 3 of the challenge!

dazzler123

This excersize has made me realise that some of the things I wrote yesterday aren’t really “goals”; more like aspirations on what I want my everyday life to be like. But the clear cut goals are as follows:

• Being debt free – July 2012

• Completing my degree – July 2016

• Become a published author – hopefully have first full book written and sent off to publishers by Xmas 2012

• Be living in my “forever” home – 2017

• Be married – 2012

• Had first child - 2013

• Go a full year without forgetting an important birthday/event – Dec 2011

It becomes so daunting when I put deadlines on it, but this is a good thing. It’s making me feel, for the first time, that I need to be accountable for all of the above things. Wishing they will happen or daydreaming about them isn’t going to make it happen.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s challenge!

What a terrible day - cold and wet and windy. Never mind it's supposed to be sunny at the end of the week. Seems a long week though.

How nice to be head-hunted Lou.
Is it today that Pooky gets her results?

Ignoring challenge - my dates would be too depressing and most of the goals pipe dreams. I can dream though!

I can't even remember what my goals were from my post on Monday:o:rotfl:

Yesterday it was confirmed that I am eligible for the car lease scheme through work so will be getting shiny new Ford type vehicle(tax, insurance, roadside recovery and repairs/maintenance included) and I HAVE TO order a new one every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever is sooner:D

Wasn't one of your goals to have a full licence Lucifa....:rotfl:

There are a few people missing with deadlines BUFFY!!! (although she is at school so I will let her off). Bookie give yourself something to do otherwise you will just procrastinate.....that attitude is defeatist! I have no idea how to spell that one. and can't be bothered to look it up!

What challenge did I miss yesterday?

Butti - I think you are right that the two of you need to want a child.

I've got my car in the garage - dropped it off just after 8 to have the cam belt done (:() and they rang at 2 to say there are problems so still working on it It is also having the MOT so this will be an expensive day. I was hoping to have picked it up by now as I have a work call 4-5 and then an evening meeting at 18.00 so will struggle a bit I think.

Yesterday was writing them in present tense Luc. I'm confused about the driving license one - what kind do you have?!

katsu

Luc - is your current license an automatic one then or a provisional?

My licence is provisional (well it will be once I update the photo so its valid). Hubbles will be drivingthe lease car. When I get a licence we will get a second one:D
