1. eat healthily
2. take lunch to uni and stop paying good money for something sandwiched between 2 slices of cardboard
3. try harder to reach my five a day
4. use a meal plan more, to avoid eating out/on the run
5. i know we get home and have to eat in a rush before going out every monday and tuesday, so i will plan to accommodate this
6. eat breakfast everyday
7. reduce my use of plastic carrier bags. say no the cashiers, and mean it!
8. make time for myself, during which i can enjoy OS pleasures - cooking, reading, and crafts

Wasn't around last year so this is a new thread to me. I do make new years resolutions though so I suppose that counts as the same thing.

1. Be more organised -this always starts off well. Paper work gets filed weekly, doing my family tree and that started off neat and tidy using my files and one notebook ..............now I have fallen back to bits of paper everywhere.

2. Have regular housework routine to keep on top of things - failed miserably with this..........hurt my back twice so couldn't do much, then recently tore a ligament in my ankle.

3. Do something I've never done before - Joined a card making group and made all my own greetings cards........can be expensive so used what I had round the house, material, cardboard.........anything that would stick..........loved it and will carry on doing it.:T

4. Recycle /re-use everything possible - This went well with the help of the 'invasion of the wheelie bins' , I used odd pieces of material I had for curtains/cushion covers...........bought at boot fairs and charity shops to save some cash.:T


That was about it really. Mum being ill in a care home stopped me going on holiday as I had to spend money on a b & b when visiting her numerous times during the year.

I intend to make a few more 'promises' to myself again this year for 2008.

Being more organised (including housework)...............(got to work eventually surely)
Learn a new skill..................ideas would be welcome (done water colour classes, taught myself computer stuff, started family tree, card making.........running out of ideas now)
Continue recycling/re-using, buying as cheap as I can

Thats about as many as I can think of at the minute............maybe I'll pick up some ideas from you all
