2014 goals...
1. Build a credit rating in Ireland - No issues in the UK, but starting afresh over there takes a bit of getting used to.
2. Continue saving to buy property over there - Need for an Irish mortgage is linked to the above!
3. Do a Euro road trip in the miNi, taking in a few decent passes.
4. Having taken up bikram yoga last year and lost 1.5 stone, I've fallen off the wagon and regained it all. 2014 goal is to get back on it.
5. Professional development - I've avoided many courses my employer has offered / encouraged me to attend in 2013, as I'd wanted to get settled in Ireland. 2014's the year to pull to finger out and make amends, even if it does mean being away from home a fair bit.
Was actually thinking about this the other day
1. Ongoing, but going well so far
2. As above - looking at Spring 2016, due to the Irish requirement for a 20% deposit / the way the property bubble is climbing over there!
3. Had a 2500 mile Euro trip in the Mini in August, taking in Timmelsjoch & Stelvio - Fantastic fun
4. Failed miserably, and put even more on!
5. Spent a considerable amount of time away from home, but did attain several qualifications which will come in handy in the future
For 2015
1. Continue saving towards property in Ireland
2. Do some work to preserve and restore my 31 year old Citroen LNA
3. Aim for a long haul holiday to Japan / New Zealand in September
4. Be less fat (again!)
5. Spend more time at home with the missus, and see more of my friends
6. Come up with a career plan, instead of stagnating because it's the easy / comfortable option
