July 26, 2011Hmm…I wonder if I could do the same thing by my birthday. I guess I only have a couple more weeks to think about it so had better decide! :D

August 14, 2011Wow, great goals. That’s a lot to accomplish but it’s great to be aiming for something. I might just need to write a few of my own.

September 22, 2011Thanks for the link back. I got the idea from Kelly’s blog (http://amyo.id.au/kelly/52-things/52-things-in-52-weeks) so I can’t really take credit. She is humming along, as are you. x

September 29, 2011Haha, and so are you MultipleMum – you’re doing a great job! And thanks for the link!
Happyhousewifey: there’s some excellent goals on here, I think I might use some for inspiration next year (my friend and I have already agreed we’re definitely doing the challenge again next year). I particularly love the budget on the christmas presents, drive-in and the tomato relish. Food for thought for next year – thanks!

October 07, 2011Thanks for the feedback Kelly! My 40 goals go until next May, but I’ve already decided I’m going to set a list of goals for 2012 as well, and I’ve already started writing them. (A bit silly since I haven’t even finished this lot! LOL) :) Look forward to seeing what your new ones are for the new year!

January 05, 2012Hi Hayley, I love your goals – what a list! I look forward to watching you achieve them. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and commenting. Unfortunately, as I tried to publish your coment, blogger deleted it – don’t ask me why. I would love for you to comment again if you would like, or if not, I just wanted you to know that I didn’t not display your comment on purpose!!!

February 29, 2012Awesome idea, love it. I have a list of “40 by 40″ which is 40 things I want to do in te next five years… But I should probably do this one too, for the little things that otherwise pass us by! xC
