New year's resolutions - did you or didn't you!

Well I said I would keep a record of all my wins - :rotfl: ooops - last entry in my note pad......13th March!

I said I would not avoid EFFORT comps - :rotfl: - emmmm I still hide when I see the word 'effort' and immediately red cross it!

Oh well maybe New Year 2014 I will start again!....

Anyone else admit to their defeats? :eek:
:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I haven't had a problem with not recording wins, as until today there haven't been any.
    I also run for the hills when I see the word "effort" in a comp. My only resolution was to keep comping regularly, but I've now decided I'd much rather be outdoors doing nice things. Comping can get going with a vengeance again when the weather turns, and not before.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I am the opposite just now! :eek: I am probably comping more at the moment as I find it too hot outside! :cool: I come in to comp and stay cool! :)

    I had to look back to the old thread to see what I said. My resolution was to do the mag daillies for at least two months. I am still doing them, but now being more picky about what I enter daily. So yes, I did stick to it.

    I managed recording mine until mid Feb when I had a couple which I couldn't put a value on as you couldn't buy them

  • I think I vowed to do more effort comps...but actually I've been comping a lot less this year than last year. Least of all the ones that require effort :D

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    I think I've stuck to mine. Only entering for things I actually 'need' (want).
