10 Targets for 2009 update

I haven't done anything about these since March so time for a look at them.

1. Read 100 books - no problem with this, having more free time means I am already over 90.

2. Finish all my knitting projects - I haven't got too far with the new cardigan I was knitting, finding cable hard. I have made a sleeveless top though, to my own design, and am working on a jumper in self patterning wool which is looking nice.

3. Finish my tapestry - I did do a bit more of this but haven't got far.

4. Get to church regularly - I am becoming more and more involved in the methodist church, despite it being a bit frustrating at times!

5. Use my sewing machine - oh dear! The material I bought is still sitting in the cupboard, I really must do something with it.

6. Lose some weight - not a lot happened here but I am using my Wii to do keep fit and that is going well even if I haven't lost the weight.

7. Join a group or club - nothing to report here.

8. Read bible more - better but not great.

9. Get out to plays / music events more - I must get to something at the Exchange, sadly Martyn Joseph doesn't come here :(

10. Think seriously about career - well, I have given up my job and am currently unemployed. Now thinking about what exactly I want to do next, taking some time to figure out.

10 Targets for 2009 update

It's the start of March, so time for an update.

1. Read 100 books - 14 read so far, have decided to read a few more serious books during lent instead of just novels all the time.

2. Finish all my knitting projects - not much progress on my new cardigan but its growing very slowly.

3. Finish my tapestry - still not done anything with this.

4. Get to church regularly - am attending the methodist church every week now.

5. Use my sewing machine - have shortened a skirt and bought some material.

6. Lose some weight - not sure I'm ever going to make any progress with this!

7. Join a group or club - not sure there is a club round here for me.

8. Read bible more - doing a bit better.

9. Get out to plays / music events more - nothing this month.

10. Think seriously about career - one big decision made, but not sure what is next.

10 Targets for 2009 update

Almost a month of the year gone (can hardly believe it, time speeds by).

1. Read 100 books - 8 read so far, at the moment am reading the Twilight books, thought I would read the first one to see if they were any good and have to say am enjoying them.

2. Finish all my knitting projects - not doing too well here, have started something new instead of finishing any old projects, am trying to master cable and its going well so far.

3. Finish my tapestry - not got back to this yet.

4. Get to church regularly - doing better at this, it helps being able to walk to church again.

5. Use my sewing machine - have plans for the sewing machine, have been looking at material in Hansons, but not started yet.

6. Lose some weight - haven't made any effort towards this, though I am trying to eat a bit healthier.

7. Join a group or club - no progress with this yet.

8. Read bible more - slightly better but not as good as I should be.

9. Get out to plays / music events more - nothing this month.

10. Think seriously about career - thinking! No decisions as yet, though am keeping an eye on the TES!

10 Targets for 2009

I think I've come up with my 10 now:

1. Read 100 books - tried it this year but only made it to 95.

2. Finish all my knitting projects - I have 3 or 4 half finished at the moment.

3. Finish my tapestry - started it full of enthusiasm and not touched it for months!

4. Get to church regularly - not been too good this year.

5. Use my sewing machine - keep planning to alter a few things so that I can wear them.

6. Lose some weight - could do with shedding a few pounds.

7. Join a group or club - need to get out and meet new people.

8. Read bible more - got a bit slack with this.

9. Get out to plays / music events more - have missed not living close to a music venue and no school trips to theatre anymore.

10. Think seriously about career - am I where I want/need to be? What next?

I'll try and post regular updates.

Happy New Year!

Only a few hours of 2008 left. I hope everyone had a good year and are looking forward to great things in 2009.

I don't really make resolutions - never seems worth it when you break them within a couple days. I thought I would go for 10 targets for the year - not thought of them all yet but I'll add to the list later.
