    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

    Very nice :)

    This time thing has got me really thinking about goals and priorities. I'm totally stuck after 2012 and it worries me even though it's ages away!

    It doesn't look like the Italian course is going ahead :( they need 6 students and there's only two. I don't know whether to do it at a different centre and pay for it, or to do Spanish instead.

    Elfen (and anyone else interested in writing) this months Writers Magazine has a supplement with dozens of competition details for the coming year in it. It looks really useful.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Has anyone ever been to Berlin? Thinking of going on a long weekend (Fri - Mon) at some point next spring and just wondered if anyone had any good/bad tales. Looks like it'll cost me about £150 for flight and hotel...need info on transfers/metro/bus from the airport if anyone knows...Really want to go and visit the Checkpoint Charlie museum and the zoo!

    Elfen,

    Checkpoint Charlie museum brilliant - really facinating. See the Brandenburg Tor. A section of the wall. The Reichstag. Go to Alexandra Platz area if you want to see a bit of what the east was like.

    I was in Berlin for 4 months and I didn't get to see it all. Loved it.

    Up from the station and under the line is a pub called the Tiergarten Quella - it was lovely and did great food (if it is still there) - I was there in 1994!

    Wrap up warm it is in the middle of a land mass.

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

    They don't have to be huge goals - remember, they are ones which are achievable. It can be something like

    I will read 3 books by the end of October by an author I have never read anything of in the past.

    I will try 1 new vegetable by the end of September
