How I did it
How to control my nerves
It took me
3 years
It made me

How I did it: Sorry, this is more of an "entry" than a "how I did it" but there's still info here!I feel like this goal is no longer really a goal I need to have. I remember times when my nerves got the better of me, but I don't seem to have that issue now, and I can't remember anything in between. I'm as cool as a cucumber regarding just about anything now. Still have one or two *confidence* issues, but I believe the two can and do operate independent… Read how I did it…

How to break a Bone
It took me
1 day
It made me
feel dumb

How I did it: I never actually did it, but a close relative did. I noticed this goal on the front page one day and wanted to post to discourage the act of causing such serious injury to oneself by telling my relatives story.The only way I could do this was by adding the goal to my list.

pay off my debt
Untitled

The only debt I have is to my mum, but it’s quantifiable. In getting set up for my new job she’s spent a lot of money on a vehicle, training, equipment etc. and now I’m earning it’s time to pay her back. My job isn’t that well paying and I have a whole lot of expenses so unless I up my hours I’ll be lucky to be able to pay back much each month. Also I don’t know my tax code yet, people have told me to expect a leathering for my first month. Come payday I’ll work out my expenses and see what I have left.

... in fact, she’s helped me out so much since I left school I really should make the gesture to pay back ALL my big loans from her… so here goes…

Calculated debt: £6000 approx.
Amount paid: £0
Debt remaining: £6000

I think I’ll have to give up on this one. Now I have a job and I’m working nights more than I’m working days, so, as it stands, I’m going to sleep at 7am hah.
