Geeky goals and ambitions

[skymark]

Thought I would start a thread where we can all share and support each other in our short term goals and long term ambitions.

Do you want to lose some pounds?
Trying to reach a goal in your piggy bank?
Want to earn enough for a holiday or for your Christmas fund?
Want to start an exercise regime?

And how about long term...

Looking to move house?
Buy a new car?
Open your own salon?
Finally give up the day job and persue your dream?
Want to dance naked around trafalgar square? (For legal reasons im not encouraging this )

Personally I have a few short term goals...

1) I have a target in mind that I want to clear in profit by the end Sept
2) I must set aside one hour a day for either reading or meditating
3) I must start exercising as things are getting droopy (skinny and untoned is not a good look, think sheet thrown over a coat hanger )

I will let you all know my progress...

What about everyone else?

Aw this is a nice thread !

Well my short term goal is to decide what direction i want to take my career,tbh it's like a game of tennis in my head at the min. Initially i wanted to train and get my masters in l+p. Now i'm not sure a confidence buils class and some 121 on shellac an dashing diva,poppits and some trouble shoot on l+p would be more beneficial ........

Long term i want people to talk and say,she's the best round here ( I wholy beleive this is doable)

:hug:

Great thread

Short term :
1. Finish my course!
2. Get my garden done properly
3. Face my morbid fear of dentists and get some proper dental work done
( so you know, my last dentist thought my fear would be better overcme if she took out any teeth that could be repaired. After 9 years of not seeing a dentist, she extracted 11 of my teeth needlessly and set me back a LONG way, now my only hope of having a smile again is proably private cosmetic dentistry which I can no way afford )

Long term :
1. Do a sculpting course
2. Consider taking up corsetry again on a small level
3. Open my own nail business either from home or mobile

Long term:
(1) Finish the design off of the fancy Java code that I've been working on since March last year, and make it the best of its ilk.
(2) Get enough money coming in from the side of the business that I've been focusing on the last 10 months so as to not need to take on any additional contract work to make ends meet.
(3) Have enough time to be able to follow my more artistic leanings - music composition and recording, body painting, modelling, etc...
(4) Get the house sorted so that it's optimal for Sonia - a through floor lift to get upstairs, a ceiling track hoist in the bedroom, an accessible kitchen, etc.

Hi Becky

Goodness that just awful. Personally I would be taking legal action.

Otherwise totally brave to be considering getting them seen to again. We'll be sending love and good thoughts on your first visit back.

 

[skymark]

Well a week into the month and I am 10% at my target. My target is high granted, but im quite behind.

Thinking positive, lots of month left to make it there. We all know what its like, some weeks nothing, some weeks it rolls in.

Yep, sue her for at least the cost of the restorative cosmetic dentistry work! That's awful what she did to you; I'm sure there's no way you would have consented for her to do that if she'd actually bothered to ask you!

Hi Lisa, thanks for that ... well my twins start nursery next week and as my 3rd eldest is born in september, he misses the school year so will also be staying in nursery until nxt year, so thats 3 under 4 (11 months between the three)! so finaly after 3 years, I will have half a day to myself, so i think im over the worst of it lol !!

This will give me a few free hours to get to the gym to try and fulfil my fitness goal!! fingers crossed

I am still paying for my beauty course, not too much left so shouldn't be too much longer, and of course today i got my interview to book the nail course....(only paying 100 towards it though, i managed to get funding this time and they paying 200, so that was a GREAT help)!! so once all thats out the way, I can then possibly start a little piggy bank...... and put some aside for a nice hol.... or at least for the passports for 4 children anyway, you need a mortgage for that alone lol ! then maybe next year we can all have a lovely, well deserved holiday !

As for dentist, my mother, also has a huge phobia of them too so I know how daunting it can be, as she is partially sighted and has agrophobia too lol! so its very tough getting her there! fingers crossed you face your fears.... am sure you dont want dentures quite yet lol.... although mum does! aything to stop her going to the dentist! lol xxx

Great thread. Very thought provoking.

Short Time:
• Eat healthy – I really don’t eat healthy. I tried at the beginning of summer but I got quite busy working mobile and convenience food won. I’m getting more used to working the day job being mobile in the evening, so I need to get used to eating healthy on top of that.
• Loose a bit(lot) of weight – hopefully this will come from eating healthy.
• Buy a new mobile couch and manicure table.
• Be prepared for Christmas – I’m so impressed by people that say they’ve already done their shopping and people that get their shopping done before December. I think I’d like to be one of those people. :green:

Long Term:
• Leave the day job
• Add more treatments – Waxing first then I’m not sure what.
• Decide if I want to be mobile or salon based – I always thought I’d want to rent a room or a small salon but I’ve been doing a lot of mobile work and my regulars love it. Most of them are in the same part of the city so might not be too big of a move for them if I managed to get somewhere close by which is the area I’d want anyway.

Thanks Geeks I am going to look into her reasons for extracting and go from there - if she can "justify it, then I don't know where to go but my dentist after her looked at my x-rays and was totally baffled what the issue actually was aside from a bit of filling and a root canal!

Becky - you will LOVEEEEE a Merc convertible!! I have a 300SL in the most sexy red ever and I adore her! Havent passed my test yet mind but she was an incetive gift off my hubby last year. Now we have moved to the country, I am terrified I will have to trade her for a 4x4

[persianista]

It really has made me smile reading some of these. Years ago I would have posted;
1. merc sports
2. big house
3. salons of my own

I acheived these things, and I love the thought that those of you that posted these will acheive them too. I remember clearly how good they felt. x

I wouldnt worry too much about whether she can justify it. Im sure she will find a way to try and do so. Like you said you have had another doctor be completely baffled and to be honest I am too, 11 extractions unless your teeth were rotten and falling out or you walked into a door and smashed em all seems ludicrous.

This is one time when those annoying no win - no fee lawyers can come in handy, as it wont cost you anything to try. Cosmetic dentistry aint cheap - why should you pay if she was in the wrong.

Its good to read from people who have achieved their goals. I have always been one for writing down lists of things I wanted to do, achieve or places I wanted to go. Sometimes I do sit and think wow, I did do a lot of those things, then I make a new list.

It will be interesting to read how peeps get on and achieve some of the things they have written
