done most of them apart from finishing my BSc

only thing i have as a goal at the moment is to get a man shed and i might just decorate the house but i think that's a bit to much of a goal/task.

an ambition is to tour Europe for about 6 months.

My first job was working in a garden centre. I want to retire and then do it again. Or own one.

Done and dusted. It hasn't been an easy road, but now I can do what I want, when I want.

To see as much of the world as possible. I've got a list of places/things I want to visit and explore pinned to my wardrobe and I try to tick one off each year. Some are close to home to keep costs down. 2006 was diving in the Red Sea, 2007 was Paris, 2008 was the Eagles nest in Austria, 2009 was ruined by a last minute trip to Afghan, 2010 was Oia in Santorini (on all the tv ads ) 2011 was just to climb the highest peak in England and this year I ticked off the Grand Canyon. Not sure which one to go for next year.

Well, now that I'm newly single my long terms plans have changed just a bit.

For me, I want to:

Get fit and rejoin some kind of martial arts club. Probably MMA this time.

Buy a property.

Get on some advanced motorbike training.

Overall just learn to be happy in myself by making myself better. And of course all that. Career stuff.

Above all I want to be a good example to my kids in life lessons.

Move from this god forsaken house, it always gets s detour. In the mean time, as this will take some time, I want us to be self sufficient from my allotment by this time next year, teach the kids a few things there too.

When the time is right we will leave the country to set up home. Every day we are one step nearer but then*take five steps back. Long term plans are like this, but I know no matter what it takes our plans together will succeed.

To be pain free, I think that it would reasonable not to go sleep in pain and wake up in pain would be awesome.
