Do any of you keep lists like this?
I love lists like this, definitely going to create one for next year! I do have my New Years resolutions though. I suppose I have a mini list for the remaining few months of 2012: Pass my driving test, I'm on lesson 5 so I'm really hoping to pass before Christmas and get a job, this has been a goal of mine all year and I finally have an interview so fingers crossed! Good luck with the rest of yours xx
ReplyDeleteGood luck with passing your driving test and getting a job! :) x
DeleteI want to do this! I had so much planned for this year but I haven't quite got there. I think a 6 (or 9 if you like) month reminder is a fab idea, maybe then I'd actually get stuff done xxx
ReplyDeleteYep checking ack to it every so often reminds you what you really want to get out of the year :) x
