Todays goal is to
PRIORITISE YOUR GOALS
This is not necessarily the first one that would be completed. What you need to think about is which goal when you achieve it will have the most impact on your life.
No them in order from 1 to however many you have....so my list is:
1. Get my earning potential up to £35,000
2. Become chartered
3. Get thin
I haven't been writing my goals down on here but one of my goals is become debt free.....but it is more important for me at the moment to build my business up to get my earning potential up so that I can become debt free. I realised that staying in a job that paid well but depressed the life out of me was making me spend money and therefore had an impact on my end goal so I changed my goal priority.
So with that in mind I am off to work on no 2 and do my first online class!!!! Its got webcam so I really should get dressed!:rotfl:

Morning,
My laptop is no longer charging, it's taken two days to get my desktop PC online and the huge post I was writing early this morning was deleted when I had to refresh Firefox. :mad: So I did days 2, 3 and 4 in my head before I went to sleep. This one looks quite tough though, I'm really not sure what order some of them should go in since some of them follow on from each other. I might have to condense the list and cut out the teacher training bit, as since one of the goals was to be a teacher, I think it can be assumed I'll have to do the training. :rotfl:
So, here we go:
1) Stay debt free.
2) Get a job at a Red Balloon Learner Centre.
3) Graduate with at least a 2:2 (though I need a degree to do #2).
4) Have children and raise them well.
5) Get married (admittedly, I'd rather do that before the kids if possible though) .
6) Own my own house.
7) Improve my fitness.
8) Improve my cooking.
9) Keep my car well maintained so it doesn't break down as often (this wasn't on the original list and I daren't put it at the bottom or the car might be offended and decide to break in revenge).
10) Go traveling.
I've put the list back up to 10 again, as I forgot to include the car on day 1 and also traveling is something James really wants to do before the marriage and children bit so it's a bit of a means to an end in that sense, though I do enjoy seeing new places and I've always wanted to go to Australia.
Wow, that was easier than I thought!

Morning all... I'm more than a little bit happy today - I am properly moving in with Mr S!Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0

And erm, priorities.. probably the personal happy/ confident/ content bit first as that would make a huge impact on how I approach everything else. The home life and work-related bits are in the middle (with debt-free-ness stuck in there somewhere), and the other bits and pieces like fitness and playing music probably at the end of the list. That's really hard though as they're all quite dependent on each other!Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0

Thank youYes I guess it is!
Just have to sort out and move the rest of my stuff now.. one of Mr S's first questions was "erm, how many more pairs of shoes are there to come?" :rotfl:Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -

Lots of love,
