2015 Goals
I guess it is not a good sign that in my book I wrote 'Goals 20104'
Anyway a bit of a mixture:
Reduce mortgage capital by over £10k - this is the minimum but not sure how much it was be in over-payments as the interest rate is potentially changing
Commence legalization of the Crete house - going to take years and cost a ton but if I start it then I will be closer to finishing it
Lose a further 20kg with my new healthier liftstyle - I am not saying I have lost 8kg so far as that belongs to 2014 and the slightly lighter me is now real me. So the current weight is my new base.
Devise a new income plan - Some additional income, maybe for now, or maybe for something to do during retirement/early retirement. ( I am a massive MMM fan so retirement means doing what you like not doing nothing)
Make sure to cycle at least weekly and preferably more. - This may lead to cycle to work unless working at a different location or needing the car to carry stuff. Not sure yet.
Enjoy my house - Continuing with simplifying and de-cluttering until what is left is all we need. This is really simple but its making so much difference to me.
Speak a little Greek to my neighbours - I can understand quite a lot now but I really need to work on speaking back. My neighbours are adorable and would love to chat more.
Import and sell a batch of Olive Oil - one of my lovely neighbours is having some trouble selling their oil, which is their main livelihood, Or I guess they all are but only one has told me. I would like to buy some from him and ship it home to sell to friends.
Dancing - I love dancing and its good for me. Lets get it onto the calendar
Visit Newcastle - My son is in his second year at Uni and I have been up to visit him and see the place
Plan a cruise - Maybe not in the year as I have a lot of other holiday things planned but maybe set the wheels in motion
Cats fully trained - Can cats be trained? Well anyway I want them to understand the cat flap, how to sneak through windows, what is and what isn't a litter try and the sofa is not the place to sharpen your claws.
Car - We are sharing a car. Its okay but not convenient at all. Sort this in the year.
Clear my overdraft - I tend to forget I have an overdraft because it is free but I would be happier without it so every time I get any money (i.e. pay day or expenses day) I plan to reduce it by £100.
Sleep well - I was sleeping well previously after my NLP anchoring thing. I need to get back to that.
Have a better hair cut - I am thinking have a visit to a fancy salon to get some advice and an initial cut. I cant believe its not possible for my hair to look better than it does right now!
Poker in Vegas - Fahed has two really good wins at poker over Christmas. So I struck whilst the kettle was hot (is that a saying) and said 'why don't we put all your winnings in a pot and when we have enough we can go to Vegas. You can play poker and I can do whatever else they have'. I have never been to Vegas and I think this would be fun. The pot might take a while to get full enough though.
All new underwear - Okay this is a funny one but I am thinking measured for bras. And whilst I am at it then some fancy pants too!
Kayaking - Just have a go. Looks fun and maybe I would like it.
Super club - I really fancy the idea of something like a pop up restaurant at our house or somewhere where you are, for one evening, a restaurant. I obviously delegate the cooking to Fahed but all the same, its a goal for me.
I am inspired now to look back at last years goals and see how I did.

My life
My wonderful husband has died. He was in hospital for some weeks but this was very unexpected. I won’t be reading or writing for the foresee...
-
The increasing cost of shopping and fuel is well documented everywhere. I don't usually find increasing food prices to impact on us too ...

I don't know whether I am not having a good year or whether blogging is focusing my mind on everything bad that happens. Mine eldest son...
Kayaking is completely fun and you see so much more so close to the water. I just learned last summer and hope to do it every year now. We just rent kayaks as it makes more financial sense where we are since we do not own a truck. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely trying it now. Sounds great. I think we can rent then when we go to the other house but I will now be checking!
DeleteA new income stream is always on my list and yet I haven't thought of one yet. Probably because all of my ideas take too much time and I only seem to have time for one job at a time.
ReplyDeleteIts not that I am desperate but nice to build up something to do when I dont want to go to work anymore
