Three years to get debt free

50 goals is an awful lot - is there a reason you want to have that particular number?

It is just the amount of spaces, and I like to have them filled. They are mostly supposed to be high reaching targets, but I guess I could have some day to day ones likes eat healthily, cook more etc..

Is there any particular books you want to read, or a target of eg 20 books to year end maybe? Or films you want to see? Visit a new to you nt place and wander the gardens. Learn a card game to play on your own or with dd, there's multiple versions of patience for example. Aim to do wordle or full rainbow or another free word game each day till the end of the year (I'm assuming it runs to year end but maybe its just ongoing?)

Thank you,
Some good ideas in here. Books is a good one as I do enjoy reading.
I play a lot of games and cards with DD so learning a new one could also be good.
Walks jn nature I have had before but could be more specific and pick places to visit to tick off.
I used to make some desserts quite often, but stopped. I could get back into that.
I do declutter fairly often as well, but could set that as a target too.

Home and working through the washing. We got in later than expected after uber offer a pick up a 30 minute walk from the terminal. I had no idea they did this and because I didn't know and walked to where the other taxis are, the uber driver cancelled me. I had tried to find the location but it 2am, being awake for 20 hours, and wandering round with cases, I wasn't in any place to try and then navigate a map for a further 30 minute walk. They did not mention any of this when they were advertising the easy airport booking service.
Anyway,
I was up at 5am as I couldn't sleep and saw this whilst unpacking a case out the kitchen window. I was stunned at how beautiful it was. There is a double if you look closely.
The living room is almost done so I got to move all the the things from the kitchen into the living room and find homes for it in the newly created storage. I went shopping and bought baskets to keep everything neat. Between that and unpacking, I was pretty much tied up most of the day. I did get one wash almost dry before the heavens opened and it was back soaking again.
We have also picked up the hamster today too. DD was desperate to check he is ok. He is fine, and running round now we have disturbed him bringing him home.
I have euros left and will change them tomorrow. DD has some left as well. I also found euros today whilst I was clearing something out. They are coins but could have easily come with us and been spent.
Getting really tired now after so little sleep.
Goodnight.
