    Thank you Lucky, I have been so worried about causing more damage I have done nothing in two years *shudders at the thought*, so I am really pleased to be DOING again!

    3. At least 1 new recipe every 4 weeks – done
    4. Use make-up at least once a week – done
    5. Finish sweater – currently on hold, but will start again soon
    6. Finish tapestry (main background colour) – done!!
    7. Finish Map of Durham – done!
    8. Read all the Terry Pratchetts (Discworld ones) – done!
    9. Use up all the odds and sods of lotions and potions! – done!

    Happy with this, basically for the year I have 7 books and one sampler square to get done :D, debt? hmmm fairly static so THAT needs to take centre stage I think, health? Physio going well - I can now get my right arm almost straight out! so a vast improvement even on this time last week.

    So I have 4 weeks to get those bits finished, do more physio and do some debt bust ... wish me luck lol

    Well I finally finished my 2014 plan! (with the amendment for the knitting :o)

    1. Read 214 books – done
    2. Knit 16 squares - done
    3. At least 1 new recipe every 4 weeks – done
    4. Use make-up at least once a week – done
    5. Finish sweater – currently on hold, but will start again soon
    6. Finish tapestry (main background colour) – done!!
    7. Finish Map of Durham – done!
    8. Read all the Terry Pratchetts (Discworld ones) – done!
    9. Use up all the odds and sods of lotions and potions! – done!


    1. Read 214 books – done
    2. Knit 4 squares (doable I reckon) – done
    3. Use make up twice a week (now it is getting cooler Mondays and Fridays would be good for this) - done
    4. Work on the sweater (even if I only get another couple of rows done I will be happy) - done
    5. Finish 2nd colour on the tapestry - done


    The purple was the original the blue is the slight amendment when I realised my disability was holding me back knitting wise *sigh*

    Plans for 2015 are as follows :-

    1. Save at least £215 in my ISA
    2. Save at least £215 in general savings
    3. Pay off at least £1k
    4. Read 215 books
    5. Read first 10 Kathy Reichs books
    6. Finish 2 colours on tapestry (at least!)
    7. Stitch the Winnie the Pooh year
    8. Knit 12 squares
    9. Knit at least another 10 rows on the sweater
    10. Learn Welsh
    11. Lose 12 pounds in weight
    12. Wear make-up 52 times
    13. Do 4 recipes from cookbooks not used before
    14. Do 13 new recipes
    15. Make some mead


    My main plan this year is to bust my debt and get some savings behind me! and the rest - well they are just fun ones :rotfl:

    I love the numbers in your goals, they're very definite, and the achievements will be very personal, I admire that immensely. Good for you!

    Looking forward to hearing what you think of Kathy Reichs, I've only read one, and that was ages ago.

    Thanks Karma - I have read the Kathy Reichs before - but not for a while! Each year I try and re-read a series - I will confess that after about 9 or 10 I found the books too graphic and stopped reading them :(

    Oh! I can imagine that on the trot like that, they might get a bit much. I'll bear that in mind, cos I liked her as a writer.
