This year: Buying a new bike , buying a house with my gf , renovating said house , never using bike coz of all the work on the house.

Next year: Plans to finally pass rather than repeatedly fail exams and actually use the bike!

this year - moving down south to be with partner. giving up job. getting 15 year old daughter into horsey college a year early and son settling into high school. oh yeah and accidentally getting up the duff

next year - recovering from birth, getting used to no sleep and walking about covered in baby sick. getting back on bike. having fun with new extended happy family

This year :-

Managed to bang in a couple of really enjoyable holidays, Paris & Switzerland.
Learnt that my CBR made me ride like a tw@ with a point to prove and that its not clever, so, got meself to a more controlled state but still enjoyable on an SV.
Bar a few arguments, learnt that Kayla is definately the one for me forever (ahhhh ).
Really started hitting high demands at work and am reaping the benefits of it now

Next Year :-

Aim higher with job, look to get exams passed and either consolidate myself in a better position with my work or move onwards and upwards to somwhere else.
Move out of home cos I'm just a liability to my parents, they are struggling to live as it is without having to tend for me so best that I give them a break and move in with my mate and his missus with my missus, though a couples houseshare doesn't sound like paradise, it will do for a while
Then get my hoped for new toy ready for the summer to go back to Switzerland on and have another fantastic holiday

Work - I merged my business with another because I couldn't carry on doing everything myself. So far so good

Bike - chopped in the D650 for a D675. If I'm brutally honest it might have been a mistake. Sure, it's a fine capable bike, that comes with the turf. Only, it's far more capable than I will ever be and I'm not at all sure it's the right bike for me. I've loved every minute on it though, it's terrific fun - the triple howl is so-o-o-o-o addictive - especially at 12K rpm

Next year - looking forward to irritating everyone with our caravan!!! Change of bike possible, I'm thinking Sprint.

You know it makes sense.

What stands out this year for you, what you have done, achived ect?

Hasn't really been overly eventful apart from realising that I am actually more capeable than I thought at my job. Ive managed to take on more responsibility and do pretty well which has been reflected in about 3/4 payrises over the course of a year.

And what are you looking forward to next year or looking to achive?

Continuing to put together enough money for a deposit on a place to live with matt. Going to see the Northern Lights & changing jobs to get a more diverse range of experience before applying to do the clinical psychology doctorate course in september 2009.

This year - nowt much has happened apart from starting a research degree at work. Discovered I don't really get on with my Z1000 so...

Next year - buy a hornet and get some miles on it.
