My Goals for 2010

(i'm hoping if I put them on here I'll be 'guilted' into achieving them!)

1. Crafting
- I would like to really get into the crafting scene this year. Teach myself how to make various things and, fingers crossed, actually make them well enough to sell - either online or at craft fairs (or both!). Including:
- lined zip pouches
- various types of handbags, inc clasp top
- hair accessories
- establish this blog a bit better and hope for regular comments (which I love!)
- make some summer clothes for myself - dress/skirt/vest top etc.

2. Fitness
- Loose 1 stone by Dec 2010
- Run 10 miles non-stop by Dec 2010
( I may adjust these goals as the year progresses. I would be happy to meet these goals, but if I can exceed them then all the better. But for now, I'm happy with them as they are)

3. Travel
- 1 big HOT summer holiday with diving involved! (think this will be Thailand)
- Trip to France with my family (who are dotted around the world normally)
- at least 2 weekend trips away with my boyfriend -  DONE!
- Visit at least 4 new places in Northern Ireland

4. Activities
- Learn to water ski
- Learn to surf
(it helps that my boyfriend can do these things and has all the equipment! I did try both this year, but failed miserably!)

5. General
- Stop biting the skin around my nails (tmi? lol)
- Try 10 new recipies
- Learn to reverse park my car properly (I am DIRE!!!!)
- Keep my home paperwork in order (urgh, pet hate!)
