    Morning all, today I REALLY must finish my maths coursework, but OH wants to go to Asda, It's a 45 minute walk each way, and we'll be dragging 4 kids. We do need some food, but I'm not keen.

    Glad to see so many people trying out crochet! I'm really enjoying mine, don't know that I'm going to be able to get the flowers to look as good as the original though.

    And it would seem we have no milk..which means no coffee... :coffee: sigh... Asda it is then.

    If I don't speak to you all later(because I WILL be doing my coursework!) Happy New Year to you all

    Hiya, wonder if i can join in. I haven't thought of buying for next xmas yet though.Really don't fancy hitting the sales- done my little bit online, stocking up on boys sporty stuff for summer hols! Just wondering whether you might motivate me into achieving a few things in 2013. I need to finish decorating my daughters bedroom and buy a new carpet and then decorate my living room ready for a new suite which should arrive in february. Oh and sort out my credit card- can't decide whether to use my savings which will practically pay it off and start saving again. Oh and i really liked the sweetie tree- are they easy to do? I'm thinking of either son's birthday in feb or mothers day- i'm not that arty though!

    Salt and pepper: I have done alot of my sales shopping online. It's just easier to do and don't have to worry about going out in the cold.

    For New Year I set myself small but achieveable goals that aren't to difficult. I completed mine of 2012 which was to give up smoking. 2013 will be more to get fit and to save even more money :-).

    I was sure I read this morning that someone mentioned about doing a gardening hamper but I cannot find the post. :o However I was in Home B@rgains and they seemed to be getting some gardening gifty things (patterned kneelers etc) and they also had some enamel mugs in the kitchen section with a gardening theme. Hth.

    Having trouble keeping up as things move at a terrific pace here. :D

    Will have a catch up later in the day.

    I'm dreading the walk and bus ride in the rain to get my fitbit :( The weather here is terrible and I can't help but feel that my lovely holiday hasn't really been enjoyed as still rushing around trying to get things done :( One day, I will actually get to have a full week to myself, without any work getting in the way :rotfl:

    morning all! wanted to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and laughter filled 2013, in case I dont get back on later! and to thank you all for making this such a lovely supportive, kind and friendly thread :)

    my NYR's are

    to try and put one hour every day aside to clear clutter, sort out wardrobes, take stuff to charity shop etc and sort this house out!!

    to try and find a way to deal effectively with my anxiety (stupid stupid anxiety!!)

    to try not to buy anything at all that isnt totally necessary!!
