    1. To be more focussed at work - I can do better and have been told that plenty. Am not likely to get promoted or anything without putting in the effort!

    2. To be more organised in every aspect - finances, birthdays, anniversaries, appointments etc.

    This year I will pay off a CC, preferably car finance as well.

    I will go to uni 9 - 5 (or at least study those hours) and not have the mad last minute panic study sessions I am having now because I will have already gone over the subject matter several times!

    I will walk more (when the weather improves)!

    steer clear of my overdraught facility, clear my tax credit debt asap, organise my house and finish my degree (expected to happen November '09), all perfectly achievable :j

  • 1) To become more orgainised.
    2) To regularly update my diary (hopefully to keep me on track!)
    3) To save as much as possible alongside dmp.
    4) To generally be much better with money in all areas.

    My aims are
    apply for my letters, to be done in January
    clear 3 debts next year
    lose weight so we can start trying for a baby (argh scary one that)
    spend as much time as possible with my dad as it may be the last time that we can
  • My resolutions are:

    1. To clear 2 creditors (I currently have 4 so to get rid of half of them would be fab!!)

    2. To save up enough money to go on holiday - we have a relative who lives in Dubai so would only need flights and spending money

    3. To get engaged while in Dubai (more of a wish than a new years resolution I suppose :P)

    4. To use my giant bottle of 1p / 2p and 5p coins to buy a new dining table in time for next Christmas

    Loving reading everyone elses resolutions, keep them coming!! x

    Some great resolutions here, hope we can all manage to achieve them.

    Mine are:
    • Be a good Mummy to my New baby (when it ever shows up!!) and a good Mrs to OH.
    • Put a big dent in my debts by not wasting money and being more sensible in the choices I make..
    • Be more organised.

    run 3.30 in the london marathon
    meet someone wonderful who I want to spend the rest of my life with (okay there's not much I can do about that one in terms of making it happen, but I'm hoping it does :D)

    I'd like to do a marathon. I'm sure i could finish before 3.30
    But i'd have to start before 6am

    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
