I can’t wait to live in my dream home. My husband shares a lot of the same ideas about what are “must-haves” – eg large walk-in closests, a spa bath in the Master ensuite, a huge chef’s kitchen, a winter garden/conservatory, butler’s pantry, mudroom, etc. We need lots of space for when our overseas relatives come and visit, too!
We also love the same style of house, which is brilliant.
We plan on living in our little cottage and paying it off quickly. After we’ve lived here 10 years (we’ve been here 2 years now) we will build our dream house. It seems a long way away, but we are young and it is somethign wonderful to look forward to.

How I did it: Well, just kept going. I never considered failure or dropping out as an option.Don't get me wrong; I thought about quitting at the end of every year - "Maybe I'll just take a year off and work..." Yeah, right! I would never have returned.Anyway, I finished it, made some good friends, met the man who will be my husband in two weeks (!!!) and I have my grad ceremony in about two months. Hurrah! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just sat down and did it! Every day, even when I didn't feel like it. I typed on average 2000 words a day, which is surprisingly easy when you get used to it. As I wrote I would read it aloud to my boyfriend, who was annoyingly picky about things I had missed out or forgotten, or hadn't explained properly. I'm grateful now, but at the time I got a bit snippy with him, I admit! Now I've joined a writer's forum, and that has been so very … Read how I did it…
I especially want to cut down on dairy and cut down on meat. I love the mediterranean diet and heard it is good for you in a zillion ways so I would like to go for that more.
I want to get some makeup that suits me now that I’m a bit older. I know my colours now and I want to buy nice things finally… Not just the really cheap stuff on special :)
