New year Old Style resolutions...

Ches

Just one for me. Keep to budget. Covers most things for me I think.

Rainy-Days

To get up in the loft, sort it out, do several (if needed) car boots and Ebay sales.

On a ratio of 2 to save and 1 to spend would be ideal, but it might not always be achievable. If I can save at least £150.00 a month that would be better and achievable.

Continue to meal plan.

I wouldn't mind learning a new craft through the local college which I turn to some cash such as cake decorating, flower arranging etc

3. Stop trawling through MSE every 10 minutes when I'm working at something else and each time I walk past the computer.

I loved the similar thread from this time last year as it gave me no end of inspiration so I shall be watching this thread with a notebook at my side again this year - thanks for all the ideas again, and the renewed inspiration to do better this year!

Less wine; women and song.
Maybe for starters i'll just sing less.

My aims for 2012 are to
1. continue to use this site to save money
2. Save through the year for 2012 Xmas
3. Grow more on the Lottie
4. Sell on Ebay alot more
5. Declutter as much as possible
6. Sort out the junk in the loft and garage
7. Keep on top of the housework - routine, routine, routine

Love some of the ideas you have

Wow, what a great thread. Some good ideas, must jot them down. I absolutely love New Years Resolutions. JackieO - I'll join in with you, we spend a shocking amount each week on groceries so I intend to meal plan, use what we have already and use the slow cooker more. Loved VJsmum's comment - "Be a bit kinder to myself and not feel that i have to do everything" - I bet that strikes a chord with a lot of us!

I never normally have a new years resolution, as I would never stick to it... and feel like I failed!

However, with the new year there is going to be a new baby in our home... and I hope that even with a new baby, I will stick to my OS ways and not start to slip (which I did some during the pregnancy due to illness) and to bring up Baby Roo as Old Style as I can

I'd like to:

• Have a more productive allotment
• Hatch 6 - 10 eggs to increase my chicken flock
• Be wonderfully frugal
• Be positive, and have a better outlook on life

1- keep decluttering constantly so I can keep things as organised and minimalistic as possible
2- keep ebaying to raise extra funds
3- get back into habit of taking lunch to work to save pennies
4- more OS cleaning products
