What do you realistically hope to happen to you in the next year?
I would like a new job, and a new flat and be relatively debt free.

I'm going to say
the same things I've been saying for years. Lose more weight, get a fab job, save some money.
I can almost guarantee that none of these things will happen without a substantial kick up the arse.
In other news, my haircut is lovely.

I read that as Fat Job, and wondered what that was.
Then I looked to my right and realised it's probably team leader in a call center.

I have pretty much the same hopes as you, Chompy
Get rid of the Credit card debt, pay off the car loan. New job would be nice (fingers crossed for the one I'm after at the moment- big payrise!). Maybe I'll actually make the acoustic guitar I've been planning for too long.

Do they have to be realistic?
I'd like to move house, ideally with fewer belongings than we currently have in this house.
I'd like to be able to live, modestly or otherwise, earning my money from music.
Also, some sex occasionally would be nice.

Plans are rolling along nicely at the moment,
Got a pretty much guaranteed bonus and payrise at the end of October, which should cover getting the car finished, pay off my credit card and enough for a holiday. Loving the pub I'm in, so I really only hope for things to carry on, and maybe for ladypig to get her move to the sales department so we can get free flights to cool places and stuff.

no, she is on a three year contract on one of my research projects.
I can't put a hold on the project. therefore I need a replacement for the period she is on ML. Even if I did put a hold on the project, the Uni is obliged to pay 3 years salary (the money from the grant) plus 6 months ML (from their own pocket) whichever way it works. So despite the fact not putting a hold actually saves them money on an inflationary basis, I still have to write a massive justification regarding why I want to do it, and then be grilled by a committee as to why it's "best for the university"
I don't think "it doesn't make a cock of difference, why are you wasting my fucking time" is an acceptable response, sadly.
