OH and I write down every new year where we are and what we are doing and where we will be at the end of the year. We seal up the papers in an envelope without showing each other and put them in the Christmas decoration boxes. Next Christmas we will get the boxes out of the loft and read what we wrote 12 months ago. Always good for a giggle (occasionally a shock and a tear).

We use the headings
home - what is happening in our house
work - where we are working what issues we have at work
friends - who we are spending our time with
relationships - family, how often we see them, what family strife there is
money - where we are with savings, debts and issues
personal/ leisure - activities we are enjoying/ TV shows we watch, music we are into

I'll do mine when Wil is next asleep and I have a minute.

i'll say with the same headings wot i hope 4:

home - i hope we r back in my home village

work - i hope im still at the same place its not a brilliant job but it suits me and i hope my oh has got his own shop (cause thats wot he wants)

friends - i have a good friend lisa who im sure i will still be good friends with, just wish she'd crack on with the baby making lol (she really wants a baby but she's too scared to even try)
