    My NYRs are:

    1) Stop eating sugar and foods that contain added sugar.
    2) Start business.
    3) Save £20'000.
    4) Eradicate the phrases "Can't be bothered, Im too tired and I can't do that" from my vocabulary.

    Figures from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) show that 48% of people are more likely to go on a diet or book a holiday than try to sort out their finances in January. :eek:

    1. get fitter
    2. stop wasting money
    3. sort life out
    4. sort debt put
    5. convince OH that he doesn't want to live alone all his life

    Saw debrag's resolution and thought I had a split personality I didn't know about - but obviously I want to convince my OH, not hers they they don't want to live alone (although if debrag want's to give me her OH's phone number I'll have a go at him as well :rotfl: ).

    So I'm stealing debrag's list for myself, and I'll add 'lose a stone' to number 1.

    Did you really mean to phrase it like that..? :eek:

    I sense I should probably stop digging before I need a JCB - you're a very wicked person ZTD!!! :naughty:

    Although maybe I should add 'be naughtier' to my list of resolutions?:think:
