Things to Look Forward to in 2012

Not having to work as much OT so getting my life back at weekends, and therefore being able to spend a lot more 'me' time either with my friends, being pampered or with my kindle when H is fishing.

Going to visit one of my best friends in Hong Kong and going to Vegas for my little sister's 30th birthday.

Celebrating my first wedding anniversary which very nicely falls on the Queens jubilee bank holiday weekend.

The arrival of 3 friends new babies.

Possibly moving house, or at least looking, at the end of the year.

Finally shifting my excess weight and actually keeping it off !

Our honeymoon in Koh Samui

My BF getting engaged

My good friend getting married

Trying for another baby

Lots of trips around the UAE

Family & friends visiting us over here

Moving into a bigger apartment (need more space for Es toys!)

Watching my baby become a little girl (and the terrible twos that come with it!)

Oh and celebrating our first wedding anniversary- that's quite a big one!!

Nothing major planned for this year. Small holiday in Cornwall, plenty of wedding planning and organising, losing weight and getting fit. Oh and there's the small matter of making a proper start on my own business!

The downside is there's a very good chance my brother and his GF will be emigrating to Australia this year. It's a wonderful opportunity for them and I wish them well but I'll miss them so much.

- My brother and his partner are ttc this year so I'm hoping for some good news ?

- My 1st wedding anniversary

- I HAVE to get a job this year (I'm not even going to pretend that the thing I do atm is a real job).

- I start the final year of my degree in October.

- Finishing my bathroom and master bedroom off.

- Turning the spare room (Read: dumping ground) into a proper bedroom so that I don't have to tell guests to bring their own bed!

- Throwing my Sister a surprise Baby Shower.

- My Sister giving birth to my 2nd Niece/1st Nephew - Excited much!!

- Seeing Lion King in Theatre for the 4th time.

- Dropping my working days back down to only 5.
