Ambition, drive, passion, goals & life planning

Money is such a dirty word regarded as vulgar in some circles yet we all need it to survive, while many desire significant quantities of the green stuff. We are conditioned in the UK to not talk about our wages as not only a business decision but also as a social custom.

As one who always wishes to break with social customs I though I would discuss my life goals with you guys.  I suppose we should start with my teenage years whilst my peers were lusting after Busted I was reading Sir Richard Branson's biography and watching dragons den. My interest wasn't just about their lives rather it was a desire to follow in their footsteps. I never wanted to be part of a rock band or model I wanted to make it big in business as an individual.

My background doesn't lend its self to being the traditional business woman rising through the ranks from uni to the CEO of a FTSE 100 company. When (okay I will give you if) I make it to my goals it will be as an individual with a story to tell.

In this short blog I thought I would share with you some of my life goals about careers and a little collage of materialistic things.

Short term
1. The next step up the career ladder - 3 years
2. Academic qualification - 1-2 years
3. Grow this blog - 1 year
4. Business plan for my 1st side project - 1 month

I love my career however at the moment I want to create a side line that will not only boost our life style but is hopefully something that will spark a passion I can develop into a full time job.

One of my little ways of staying motivated through the hard times is little collages of materialistic things I desire but are achievable. Some of them are small enough to be bought as a treat when a goal is accomplished others are more of a pipe dream or long term goal.




Love 

Vicky

The forbidden corner - North Yorkshire

Hi Guys We recently spent a weekend at our friends in North Yorkshire so I thought I would write a little review of The Forbidden Corner . Photocredit Firstly I will start out with a simple statement BOOK EARLY . When we were looking for things to do we talked about the forbidden corner and looked at the availability. At the time of looking all times were available however 5 days before we travelled down (when we booked I know, I know disorganised) the only morning slot available was 10am on the Sunday (i.e opening time). This was great for us as we were staying relatively local and have a young child so getting up at 6am was well normal. Don't think our friends though the same...sorry guys. So we headed off the attraction is accessed through a number of sleepy villages and winding rural roads, we even passed a set of race horse returning from a mornings run. This was great for us as we live relatively rural and Zach loves to watch animals however for all you city dwelle...

Easy gooey cookies: Baking with kids

Soft gooey cookies are a favourite in our house, however not only are they relatively expensive for what they are, the gooeyness just don't last once you bring them home. This simple recipe is a favourite in our house. Usually I encourage Zach to help pre-measure the ingredients into small bowls before mixing them to form the cookie dough. Ingredients 125g of butter  125g of caster sugar (regular table suger will do)  100g of brown sugar  1 beaten egg  1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)  225g of self-raising flour  200g of chocolate chips (a mixture of milk and white works best)  Salt to taste (optional)  1. Measure all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 180 degrees.  2. Cream the butter and both sugars, it is easier for little hands if you partial cream with a electric mixer before allowing little hands to finish the process with their hands.  3. Add egg and vanilla.   4. Sift in the flour....

A sunny day at the beach

When the British Sun decides to make an appearance you have to make the most of it. We headed to South Shields yesterday for a fun filled family day relaxing by the sea. After handing over an astronomical amount of money for a bucket and spade we spent a lovely morning building sand castles, splashing in the sea and wandering along the pier. Before long we headed to the North East institution that is Colmans  for a spot of middle class fish and chips. Sorry this post is so short I really just wanted to share the photos of our day with anyone reading this. Love  Vicky  x
