new year round corner - peoples plans for 08?

Postby xrsi on Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:59 pm

with new year just round the corner i was wandering what people have got planned as must do things for next year?

Mine has slightly changed in last couple of weeks and as such has made me realise that there were a few things that i really need/want to do and couldn't while i was in the relationship i was in.

Here goes mine: (in no particular order)

Enjoy being single, make the most of the year and also of life and not mope around like many people do after a long relationship
Change my job
Do my trailer license
Have the fiesta gearbox mounts finished so i can finish the fiesta off to a spec i am happy
Actually take it to some shows
Save up some money to move out or so that i can go abroad in 09 for a couple of months
Stop spending money on the fiesta!

I find that the subliminal messages are the most poignant and most likely to be realised :)

I'd say he tried before but the RSPCA wouldn't allow so many sheep be man handled by James so it was taken away from him! :wink: :lol:
