2019 Plans

[-:Undertaker:-]

What are your 2019 plans thus far?

So far, my current aims are...


- When my contract ends in late August, secure another teaching position in Madrid/Barcelona.


And that's pretty much it. But who knows what'll happen.


How about you? Could be jobs, holidays, love, friends... anything!

I would definitely like to spend some time in Italy, get into a theatre group, finally learn to play my guitar and get a finance qualification. So I've got a few things to keep me goin

[Samantha]

Pass my probation at work which will be next month.

Save money/save money I've won so it can go towards the holidays that are booked.

Look at selling some of my old stuff.

I don't really have many plans, I just definitely need to save stuff and hopefully be able to save enough so in the next couple of years I could move out with my boyfriend perhaps. He's learning to drive as well so I want to try help him out with that if I can too.

mostly relating to my health so carrying on with losing weight, go outside more/be more active. i'd say travel more but i can't really do that until i've graduated cos i don't work when i'm at uni (although i'm FINALLY going to prague next month after wanting to for years omg)

wait what did you win

did you pass probation

pay raise is half done, got my raise last month and budgeted to get another in September
going away for 2 weekends in May and 1 in August and potentially 1 in September, would like to go away for a week somewhere too but see what happens with that one

I'll add the following..

I also want to get a house bought this year, just need to find a house that I like now, hopefully get that done over the next few months, been a long time in the works...

I would also like to be more adventurous with food as I've always been very basic with what I eat and tend to eat the same thing every day, cooked a lot of stuff I wouldn't have dreamed of lately and went to restaurants that I wouldn't dream of (like Korean) and going to a Japanese place tomorrow.

prob get into a serious relationship at some point, but that can wait until the end of they ear, house etc sorted first

I won a nice amount (for me anyway), I won't specifically say how much publicly on the off chance some family members randomly find this thread somehow!

Also yeah I passed my probation! Literally this was the conversation:

One of the managers: Sign that for me (it was for my discount card)
Me: Does that mean I've passed my probation?
Managers: Yes
Me: I must've done something right then
Managers: Nah we're just desperate ;) (literally can't go a day without someone making a joke, it's lovely to be in such a positive environment)

I'm beginning to enjoy the job so much more now I've settled in. So glad I left my old job (it's great because people there now are starting to realise that when I was saying certain stuff (and they just took it on the chin/didn't believe me), I was actually right and they all say it's getting worse lmao.

Yeah I work at ASDA, used to work at Home Bargains before then. I think the job suits me very well, I like being able to move about and be busy all the time. I won it on a bingo site.

what kind of things do you enjoy in life?

like would you enjoy a job in Marketing, Customer Support, etc? something you can make a career out of without having any degree to get into it, have you seen what apprenticeships etc are about? usually a good way to get in the door with no experience.

shit pay but it should only be 6-12 months.

ps what does your bf do

im definitely not an office job person and hahaha no! yeah i want kids but i want to get to a comfortable point in my life first before i have them

[scottish]

fair enough, yeah do it properly get married and house sorted first!!

have you looked at any apprenticeships/junior jobs to see what's about that you could get into without any experience/degree in that field?

[Zak]

i think just feeling like im in an absolute dead end even though im not even 20

Your adventure is only just beginning! Lots of people have no idea what they want to do at that age, I certainly didn't. Things come up. Positive thinking :)

[Sian]

Start my AAT exams so I can move into management accounting and get mega rich, eventually.

and just finally enjoy myself this summer (might end up in a relationship for the first time in 5 years as well, from the looks of how things are going).

Look at you guys doing all well and being sensible, so awesome :)

[DevilRadio]

Well, I lost my job earlier in the month (which I loved) so that was a surprise. So, my plans now? Going to Bermuda at the end of May, hopefully witness someone I care about "beat" Lung cancer, hopefully seeing Paul McCartney and hopefully more surprises!

[scottish]

how is everyones year going then


for me:


get another raise or 2

I got one in March and will get another one next month

go on holiday in summer if I can be bothered

RIP I never really done this? I went to Dublin but it wasn't really a holiday, may go away November time depending on Red.. I am booked to go to Mallorca next year though then I can visit GoldenMerc; but that's not 2019 so it doesn't count

I also want to get a house bought this year, just need to find a house that I like now, hopefully get that done over the next few months, been a long time in the works...

I finished this last month and bought my first house at long last, yay

I would also like to be more adventurous with food as I've always been very basic with what I eat and tend to eat the same thing every day, cooked a lot of stuff I wouldn't have dreamed of lately and went to restaurants that I wouldn't dream of (like Korean) and going to a Japanese place tomorrow.

I'm kinda doing that, I make a lot more varied stuff and plan on signing up for HelloFresh/Gousto or something similar next month when I get some time to have a look

prob get into a serious relationship at some point, but that can wait until the end of they ear, house etc sorted first

I'll get round to this eventually, I really can't be bothered with relationships just now and lose interest in speaking to anyone fairly quickly, I assume it's just because I've been to busy buying house, busy at work, busy with running/races, etc.
