So its that time of year when you start looking at yourself and planning

Well, this year I managed to get a good job which led to me getting my dream job which involved me moving out of the parental home and relocating to the other side of the country. I also managed to lose a few stone in weight and I got to go abroad on holiday for the first time in years.

Next year I want to settle into my new job, make a pile of new friends in my new city and lose a couple more stone in weight. If another holiday could materialise at some point that would be rather good too. I'm 30 next year so I'm hoping it will be a good one; hoping to make my 30s better than my 20s

I'd really like a gap year.

In my fifties, always worked and just once in my life would like some time to myself to plan a future that doesn't include pleasing bosses, family, friends and everyone else!

Its not practical of course. I can but dream.

One day....

I think only two things on my list can be acheived this year but better than nothing. Change Drs surgery and get a better rate for my ISA are the ones that can be done.

Other than that, I want to get my health problems diagnosed, thus treated, thus can get a little or a lot of my life back. Been waiting 5 years for a proper diagnosis so I won't hold my breath- been back at the Hospital over 2 years now and feel no further along, especially as I am now being refused tests.

I had to drop alot of my volunteer work due to health so i'd like to take up more of that again but need the above to do so.

I would love a holiday, but no money and no health to go away!

I would also like to continue with my weight loss.

Just thought i'd chick my two penneth in.

After the horrendous year I have had this year I have decided that this coming year I am going to be selfish and do things that I want to do, not things that work want me to do, such as completing my MA. I do only have my dissertation to do, but my heart is not in it, so I am going to but that on the back burner until I am ready. If I was going to get a payrise or promotion, or both for doing it I would be scribbling away, but I have no incentive - apart from getting it done.

Soooooo, today I have decided to learn something for me and have enrolled on a 10 week introduction to Reflexology at night school, I am really excited by it, especially as I know I can start a Diploma in it in June at night school if I wanted to. It's so far removed from my career, but it is something I have been interested in - so why not

Other things I want to do is maintain my swimming, going tomorrow which im looking forward to, and in general just doing things for me and what I want to do. Not putting others first putting me first!

Then in the summer my nephew is going to Australia for an extended period of time, I am considering going out for a trip, only thinking at the mo, he might not want his auntie cramping his style - lol.

Im sure I can think of other things I want to do, but this is it for now.

Well I have already achieved one item on my list

Had contacted my bank and threatened to leave with both my ISA and current account, and they have offered me a goodwill gesture of another 1% interest for 12 months (bringing me up to 1.20%) or switch in the new tax year to the alternative ISA account which pays 1.75%.

I've gone for the first option and then in tax year April 2013 I will switch over to the new product, or whatever they have at that time. As with everything else going on, accepting the first offer means I have a year before I need to do anything else.

I really want to decorate my flat in 2012; we've been living here for nearly 3 years and it isn't finished, there are still marks on the walls from moving in day! It's about time it looked like a grown-ups home rather than the temporary thrown together look with the standard new-build-(now grubby) magnolia walls that's currently going on!

I also want to become more organised... but I've been wanting (and failing) to be more organised my entire life so that's unlikely to happen!

I will probably, unfortunately have a very big personal change happening in my life in 2012. I aim to cope with it in the best way possible, realise that although it will be very sad it will also be for the best as I have been unhappy for a long time. It will mean a lot of changes, but I will come out of the other side of it a happier person.
