Happy new year I hope that this year coming sees us all in good health, less stress and content with ourselves

I was at work today and despite not waking until later than I Should have (that will change next year) I applied some moisturiser and eye cream and mascara

So starting as I mean to go on
Looking forward to the gym reopening after the break as its good to exercise but its great for my depression , I've had no medication for 8 weeks now due to exercising

Good morning!

I hope this morning finds us all rather fabulous as the year begins and we have a wonderful 2013!

I went to bed at my usual time and woke up bizzarely at 23.59 and a few seconds before midnight as the fireworks began. My New Year tipple was a hot chocolate and I am very pleased to have not drunk alcohol at all on New Year's Eve. The low level Christmas drinking has finished, it only takes 2 drinks these days to make me feel worse for wear!

Just about to go out with the dog for a bit then decide what to do next

I ended 2012 with a headache and I start 2013 with one too and it's not even drink related as I didn't have any last night. Think it's all down to too much sleep. DD hasn't been waking, dog hasn't been a pest, neither has Killer Cat and I am waking about 7.30am. My body just can't handle it :eek:

Have felt really "off" for last couple of days so haven't actually started any of my objectives yet still it's a marathon not a sprint

Off for a walk today in a forest. Looking forward to some fresh air and potentially lots and lots of mud :eek:

JackieRHE welcome to the thread

Maman hope you feel better soon xx

Have a lovely day everyone, hope none of you are nursing a hangover.

Happy new year everyone, hope it's already off to a good start for you all.

Bitsy, I hope you feel better soon and your nice walk today helps to clear whatever is making you feel off

I'm hoping to get out for a nice brisk walk myself later, just trying to convince OH to come too if he won't I'll happily go alone or take the dogs.

I've just come back from a lovely walk with the dog and the sun was out in a bright blue sky!

Makes a change and especially after yesterday's drenching!

Happy New Year Everyone

Is it going to be a good one??? Of course it is because

"We shall make it so":rotfl:

I'm just about to put a piece of beef in my slow cooker and prep lots of nice vegetables for a good dinner tonight. The healthy eating starts here, it starts now.

Then a bath and a bit of fabbing, although I'm a bit limited - I can't do anything to camouflage my black eye. It's a real shiner.

Lovely to see so many newbies on here. Like Maman said - you're among friends.

Hope you're feeling better soon Maman - was wondering where you'd got too.

Good to see no hangovers. As I was driving I stuck to non alcoholic juice - white grape and elderflower, light and refreshing.

I do enjoy the odd glass of something but like many of you I find I cannot drink very much. I'm a cheap date. :rotfl: I think my Rock & Roll lifestyle is over too.(Maybe:D)

We'll just have to wait and see.......

I asked my 26 year old son last night what he would like to happen this year. He said and I quote "to stop existing and start living". He's right - and I feel a little guilty. He has been worried about me and the effects of his Dad's illness on me, about the lack of money and all the other things I have battled with.

Well - the money worries have eased, we have our nice rented house to look forward to and our new house purchase later in the year. Time to move forward.

So today I'm off to visit OH and then pack a few more boxes ready for the big day.

Ladies - my very best wishes and kind thoughts to you all.

Onwards and upwards.

:T:THere's to us Ladies - Making it Happen:T:

Morning all - no hangover here either - went to bed by 11pm with a book!
Happy new year to everyone and I hope it brings you all that you wish for. :beer:
Started off as I mean to go on with a dog walk (no rain hurrah!) and then a 5.5km run - have started to add a bit on to each run now to build up the distance slowly. Only 2 months to go before I have to do the 10k in public (with supporters :eek:) so better stick to it.

I'm off to see a friend today - just a little walk with her kids and a cup of tea - she's quite a negative person, always moaning about something and a real hypochondriac so a couple of hours will suffice. She was very good when my marraige ended and always checked up on me (even though I didn't need it!) so I keep in touch and try to be as supportive as I can, although the moaning can get a bit much sometimes.
Then its back home and off to walk my dog and the "hip-op dog" again. Will have a sit down at some point today hopefully!
I'm also going to make myself do at least 90 mins of schoolwork - there's been rumours of an Ofsted inspection so better make sure I'm completely on top of it all.

Right, I'm off for a shower and to make myself presentable.
Hope everyone has a good day. xx

Good Morning and Happy New Year :j

A lovely sunny start to the year here which makes a pleasant change from rain . Although I did have a wee tipple to welcome in the New Year I have started today with a very healthy breakfast and I have healthy meals planned for the rest of the week.

Fabbing wise I am keeping up my skin care regime and I am beginning to see the benefits I have also noticed how much happier and relaxed I feel when my house is kept tidy so I am going to aim to keep more on top of it.

Today I think I am going to stay in and around my home and just relax into the New Year
