MrsWeasley Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Right, so all my friends have been talking about new years resolutions, and I never bother making them 'cause I either forget what they are by the end of the first week, or I just break them. So I wanna know, what are your new years resolutions? If you make them anyway! Mrs Weasley Oh, and happy new year! Hope everyone has a great 2009. And for those who didn't have such a great 2008, I hope 2009 brings you lots of luck, love and happiness! Mrs W x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm really going to try and HANDWRITE a letter to my Mum, at least once a month. I know we rext and chat on Messenger, but honestly, I'm forgetting how to handwrite these days! My Dad wrote a letter to me every single sunday from 1982 until he died in 2006, and I still have them all (The last 6 years are typewritten) but there's something nicer and more personal about seeing his handwriting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to spend less time working at the weekends and spend more time with my two daughters who are (8 and 10 yrs). I know how easy it is to give lots of time to school and less time to my family and this year I want to try and reverse this and spend more qaulity time with the girls and my husband. Hope 2009 is a good day for everyone and that even when things are tough we find support from one another and those people who are important to us.

MrsWeasley Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Wow Beth, I really hope you do every single one of those!

Guest Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 My new years resolution is to find time to do something new thats just for me - I've already given up smoking and I've lost nearly 5 stone this year so I'm hoping to do something more creative. Possibilities include bellydancing which I tried a few months ago and loved and doing a cookery course in indian/chinese food - with the credit crunch I cant afford takeaways and my previous efforts have been awful!!!

Karrie Didnt try at all, it was caused by the stress of my partner of 15 years walking out on me in July! Having said that, I'm feeling better than I have for years and I can actually RUN now when I play football with the kids.

Steve Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Cait, that's a great new years resolution. For me, how about getting an FSF newsletter out every month in 2009.

Shiny Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have decided this year is the 'Get Fit' year. I am not unfit, but I am about to start training for the Race for Life in July!! It wasn't until I started running last week that I realised how bloody hard it is!! Am hoping to lose some weight in the process!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Peggy is slightly improved, the last I heard, thanks for asking Cait. Her husband emailed me yesterday to let me know - don't want to say too much as I don't want to jinx anything - not that I'm superstitious you understand!

HappyMaz Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Peggy is slightly improved, the last I heard, thanks for asking Cait. Great to hear this - especially in what is usually Peggy's thread! I'm still thinking of what my resolution should be. Perhaps to spend more time on the Forum. I don't think I post nearly often enough! Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 at the risk of boring everyone.............................make a resolution to check your boobs on the first day of each and every month.I shall!!It doesn't have to be a major hassle, just get to know what YOUR boobs feel like, so you can spot any changes quickly. And, if you can, please give blood.................I have now had to retire from doing so, and have persuaded a couple of my family members to give in my place.If you CAN do it, look up the blood transfusion site http://www.blood.co.uk/ and find out where the nearest place is to you.They are desperately short of blood right now! I was fortunate not to need blood during my recent lengthy operation, but may need plateletes at some time during my chemotherapy, so, i hope there will be the donations there if i need them. Oh yes, I aim to finish my FD I aim to start my BA (hons) and I aim to get my EYPS and my maths equivilancy too I aim to have the most fantastic time at the Marillion convention in March and I aim to look incredible at my daughter's wedding in October ( her partner proposed on christmas day.....ahhhh) this time next year, i shall look back, with a big grin at all that I acheived!

HappyMaz Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 this time next year, i shall look back, with a big grin at all that I acheived!

I've done 4 and I'm afraid they were computered so I could be lazy and change the name and send more or less the same letter to an elderly aunt in Gloucester. Anyone else kept to their resolutions this year so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
