    Exciting stuff! Jealous.

    I have no idea what my year will be like. Never make plans. Just go with the flow and all that. I'll be in college till May. Might stay in Killarney and work for the summer, as I have plenty off summer job offers here and can make lotsa moolah. HOWEVER, I don't really want to. I kinda want to go somewhere sunny. Might go to Thailand for a few months or something. Get out a loan! Ha. Don't know. And then back to college. Woo.

    Wow you really do have a lot going on!

    My advice would be - concentrate on college. You won't get the mortgage, wedding, car, or anything else without a good job - and you won't get a good job without an excellent degree - and in the current climate, even the best degree won't guarantee you anything!

    I really do wish you the best of luck with all of that - but do bear in mind, banks are really strict about mortgages these days, and unless you walk into a very permanent very well-paid job straight from college, the chances of you actually getting one this year are pretty slim really. Although of course I know nothing about at all about your own personal circumstances! But the good thing is, you sound pretty young, loads of time for all that!

    I suppose I'm in a pretty similar situation to you really, I finished college last year and got engaged about two years ago. We're putting the wedding and house and all that on hold for a few years though to concentrate on our careers and travel etc, I suppose we're lucky to be in a position, like yourselves, where we've no reason to be in any rush to get permanently settled just yet!

    My plans for 2010 - pass my first set of professional exams, and fit in a couple of little holidays ... just realised today I haven't actually left the country in well over a year - depressing :( Also my friend and I are moving into our fab new apartment this weekend, so we're going to spend any extra cash on making it all prettiful :D

    I think it's going to be a fun year :)

    Well the first weeks of 2010 have been *crap*! I hate my job and arriving home from a long slippy drive every evening to darkness sucks, so I'm really looking forward to the year picking up and getting stuff done!

    I'm starting my own business at the mo, hating my job is giving me a constant kick up the ass to get moving on it so looking forward to that. I have a lot of ideas for it so just need to start doing some of them, already have 2 orders though, yay!

    It's my birthday in a few weeks so hopefully that'll be fun, then I'm going to Amsterdam in March/April, Vegas in June for my boyfriend's birthday, hoping to go to Toronto in October and maybe if I'm super lucky Achill somewhere in there too.

    That's it really, other than the business thing I've nothing set in stone to do this year, but I would like to be working for myself by Christmas.

    Oh and I want to continue growing my hair, I'm aiming for elbow length for Vegas :D

    Plans for 2010. Stop letting everything just sail past me.

    No major plans really. Ime, plans never really work out. As long as I am somewhat happy, that's fine with me tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    I want to grow my nails. A bigger challenge than it sounds, honestly.

    After that, it can all fall as it may.

    My main plans for 2010 are to finish my masters and run another marathon. Anything on top of that is a huge bonus.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭SeekUp


    I feel like I've posted this somewhere before . . . oh well.

    Wedding at the end of the summer, followed by a cross-border move sometime before the end of the year . . . which means a new job.

    Until then, it's a lot of planning and researching, lots of resident status changes and green card paperwork, lots of red tape. But ah well, by the time the Christmas decorations go up next year, we should be settled again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,280 ✭✭✭Glico Man


    My plans involve finishing my Hons. Degree in May, finding a job (whether here or abroad), getting my provisional driving license renewed (its been 3 years now) and then getting my full license, help my sister and brother in law build their house, meet new people, get fit, find myself a lurvy lady to spend my evenings with.....thats about it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran

    My plans for 2010 are to have fun. I have loads on up as far as May. I have something to look forward to each month. Be it a gig or a night away. Or a night planned with my friends.

    Last year I was so focused on money and not spending it I ended up just being miserable so this year I am thinking f*ck it. I am young and Im going to have fun.

    Also have a road trip planned for a few weeks in the summer festival hopping in europe.

    Also Im running more so I am going to try take on the Dubling City Marathon as one of my New Years Resolutions. Yikes!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    I have a few little things planned like Trabolgan in April and Oxegen in July but I am thinking about going to Fance for ten days or something. I love travelling and want to get as much done as I can before I start studying again in September.

Have the week off after that wedding which I'll spend in Rosslare. I have Greenday on the 23rd June. I am going to Lanzarote for 1 week in october. And janey mackers I'll be saving for christmas as that stage!

    Get a job. Every thing is on hold until that happens! Can't make any plans really. Depressing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭jellie


    I don't have any major plans yet, have a short holiday booked around Easter but other than that nothing yet. Have a couple of ideas, considering either going travelling (on my own!!!) or moving to a new city. My life is dull & boring at the moment, feel like I need to start LIVING it before I waste it :)

    Probably going to Stockholm in late March and Buenos Aires mid-summer.

    We are currently looking at a house. It's about 90 years old and needs some work. If we do buy it, it would be summer before we moved in at the earliest.

    When my little guy is in school full time starting in September I plan to go back to work full-time, assuming there are actually any jobs :eek:.

    That last one will be a huge change for me, but I think I'm ready. It's the looking part which is a bit scary.
