For me it will be....( hopefully)

1) Although my debts are manageable i would like to continue making my over the minimum payments to everything i owe to bring it down, A loan finishes in January so i want to use those payments towards something else rather than it just disappear

2) Seems 3 is the magic number for weight loss and thats what i want too. ive put on 4 stone in 2 years recently found out i have underactive thyroids, low metabolism and polycystic overaries which probably added to it.

3) Included in the above is my daughter is carrying a little extra weight, shes only 13 and still growing but want to make sure she doesnt suffer so me and her will do more things together regarding getting in shape.

4) After 10 years of being too scared to go to the dentist i recently had toothache, so like a big girl i went on friday In january i have to go every friday for some treatment and im bricking it, she tried to do an x ray and i have a terrible gag reflex so she couldnt do it so i need to be a big brave girl and get on with it.

5) Stop smoking, i lost both my parents this year with 5 months between them although smoking wasnt the cause of their deaths they both had copd/coad and at 65 and 66 it was far too young to lose them.

6) Finally and probably my biggest one. I have been in a relationship for 2 yrs with a battling alcoholic, Its a long story but basically he has moved out into a hostel waiting to go into rehab, but times are hard and my love and support is fading fast because of the upset it causes. I need to have a long long hard think about my future and whether he can ever get better and beat that nasty tramp juice he drinks or if my life will be destined to come second to it all the time. He gets sober for a couple of weeks and then down it goes again. I am sympathetic but im only 37 and i have a life ahead of me i need to start living.

1) Pay off my Virgin CC as quickly as possible. I would like it gone by the end of March if possible.
2) Then pay off the rest of debts.
3) Start saving once my debts are paid off.
4) Enjoy our holiday in June. The kids will have a great time and we all need a break.
5) Spend alot less on Ebay. I might even close down my account!


Good luck to everyone ~ I hope you reach all your goals in the coming year.

2. Lose weight (4 stone for me)
3. Finish the whole house, making it perfect for me and my boys
4. try and quit smoking

I never make resolutions as I never stick to them so no changes for me.

Hoho, the response to this one doesn't take long to think about;

Carry on the money saving habits it acquired in Septemer, October and November this year::A

And

Ignore the naughty overspend I have slipped back into making this month!!!:mad:

Certainly I have spent within my means this Christmas, but have still gone over budget:(

Oh yeah, and lose one and a half stone (only 5ft nothing so this will be like evryone's three stone. oh and it is all on my middle:mad:)

All I want to do in 2012 is

1. Continue they way I have been going since I had my LBM in July

I really hope the last four or five months have not just been a 'flash in the pan' type thing for me. I really want and need to keep it up.
