Following on from our December 2018 resolutions thread this is your chance to set your intentions for 2020.

Well done to everyone who achieved some of their goals in 2019 - remember if you don't fail occasionally you aren't reaching high enough!

I’ve got a few already on my bucket list, as always a weight loss one but there will also be a household, work and financial resolutions. And a mix of one-off actions and sustained over the year actions. Full list to follow once I finish my review of 2019 - I went over my diary for the first 6 months today

Who’s in??

Number 6 is an excellent one and one I am going to add to mine.

So here's the 2020 challenges:

1) to walk the Camino de Santiago....I've already booked the flight out & the first couple of nights accommodation

2) to knit enough squares to hit 2019's target....I certainly have the wool !

3) I'd also like to knit a temperature blanket for 2020

4) would like to restart reading more; think I need to leave the tablet downstairs in the nights

5) going on from (4) try & have one night a week tablet/phone free

I think the only thing that I am going to do is seriously cut down on the amount of plastic used in the house and then thrown away.

I'm in!

1) end the year in a different stone bracket to which I started it :rotfl:
2) walk some serious mileage. I will do Race At Your Pace every month for no less than 100 miles
3) Do everything I can to make my brothers last months/weeks/days as happy and as comfortable as I can
4) eat less. I guess that ties into 1&2 :rotfl:
5) do more things for me and things that make me happy
6) save more money to move house. This does depend entirely on my brother but it shouldn't stop me saving


That's all for now but I can always come back and add more if/when I need to

I’m in too!
Some of these have rather a familiar ring about them... : D

1. Lose weight - I’ve managed to put back on all the weight I lost before my daughter’s wedding in 2018 - I found it so much easier when I had the date of the wedding as a specific target to focus on. I’ve tried giving myself target dates to aim for, but struggle to stay focused without a specific reason.

2. Finances - I will continue to make regular small overpayments in order to reduce my mortgage balance to/by a specific target amount by the end of 2020.

3. Declutter - I now can't actually get into my smallest spare bedroom at all, in fact it’s even worse than it was this time last year! (keeping the door closed helps enable me to ignore it )

4. Creativity/productivity - I want to reduce the amount of time I waste browsing on my iPad/phone in front of the TV and spend the time more productively and creatively, particularly knitting and sewing which I used to do a lot.
