I belong to a great site called Simple Savings (www.simplesavings.com.au/)

There is a thread about “What do you want to achieve by the end of 2010?”

Here is my list:

1. Lose 5 kilo
Over the last 5 weeks I have developed a really good exercise routine. I say it’s really good because I am actually doing something instead of getting changed into my workout gear and then sitting down with a cuppa and a biscuit

2. Pay $2000 off CC
Today I paid off $5.00

3. Go for weekend away with DP
I have just achieved this one. Feels so good to be able to cross one off the list already.

4. Go back to South Australia for Cheesefest (October 17th)
Flights are booked and tickets have been brought. Will write a blog all about the wonders of CHEESEFEST.

5. Go to South Australia for sister 18th (November 5th)
Flights are booked. Need to plan a few things for her special day. Will keep you informed.

6. Finish my Cert 3 in childcare
I have had this goal for the last 4 years!!!! LAZY

7. Save $1000 for movers and bond (November)
We are moving AGAIN!!!!

8. $100 in emergency fund (little but got to start)
So far have $56.15 saved.

Holiday Road

Whenever i go on trip no matter how big or small the song i sing is "Holiday road" from the movie National lampoon vacation.

I was singing my song when about 40 minutes into our drive toward Myall lakes. J said "We need petrol". So we pull off the Highway and drive towards the next town (4k away). We make it to the town with the little petrol light flashing. Only problem is there is no petrol station. So we drive through 3 more little towns and NOTHING. We turned the corner and "TA -DA" a petrol station...unfortunately it was the one in the above picture.

My singing stopped and so did the car.

Road side assistance turns up and said "I always get called out to this spot"...hmm wonder why?

Petrol in car and singing starts again....."Jack be nimble, Jack be quick"

Fresh Start

Well i have deleted all my old post. They were all over the place and many didn't make sense.

Which sums this year (2010) for me. Its been all over the place!!!So,where to begin.....My name is Nikki and i am 29. I moved to Sydney last November with my lovely boyfriend.

Why do i want a blog?

Well i wish my answer was "Because my life is so interesting" sadly i just want a blog because i LOVE to ramble. I love to gush about stuff and when something takes my interest i want to talk about it to as many people as possible. I want a place to set and record goals, ideas and just ramble on about stuff.

Time to get rambling on my first real post.....
