taharielHappy New Year! Thank fuck that's over with!
I first did this meme last year and I have enjoyed having goals, though the crappiness of 2010 did somewhat derail me from achieving all of them. However, I think it's worth doing again this year, so here are my goals for 2011.

1. Get a new job that I can afford to live on.
2. Sort out the cracks in the walls where the building has settled.
3. Do the washing up at least every other day.
