Oh good luck strong, I recommend Allan Carr, I think its called Easy Way. I was a serial smoker for years until someone lent me the book. I stopped smoking as I read the last chapter and have never looked back. Remember to think of it as gaining money and health and not giving something up, it does make it easier.

I think my resolution is going to be around my name change, I am trying very hard already but its not easyGrin

I was going to cut down on coffee too but with no cigs and less coffee I think I'd turn into a right grump lol so 1 thing at a time :)

I have to get fit. Its 6 years since last DS was born and I still have the post pregnancy tummy! And DS3 can now run faster than me (dangerous), so drastic measures are needed. That and DH has lost so much weight cycling this year he is now thinner than me!

And to be less grumpy, and swear less - DS2 is constantly boasting to his friends his Mum has taught him the word 'tosser' Blush and thats one of my milder ones.

Ha ha Agnes, that made me chuckle x

Mine is to get rid of this weight that I gained after stopping smoking and having kids! To do that I need to stop stress eating!

The other is to get a statement for my ds5!

Happy new year everyone xx

To try and walk away from fighting every single fight with every single organisation that lets down my son..... It has taken over my life over the last two years. But I have sat here ill with flu and a chest infection over the last two weeks, feeling utterly miserable as final decisions from crappy oversight bodies and ombudsmen rolled in (inevitably dispatched before xmas) and I have realised that these people don't give a toss.....they have no intention of taking on the failings of these multi-million pound public bodies.

I need some semblance of a normal life back. That is my NY resolution.

AND there is nothing with saying tosser!!

Well I spent the first half of last year in a fog about my son and the second half coming to terms. I am hoping 2013 is going to bring a firm diagnosis and once I have this, I will put my mind to making life a bit better for all of us. One of the lessons I learned last year was not to put mt faith in people, sadly. So my other resolution is tony forget that this year. Oh and get back to running! And declutter my house!!

Solid resolutions

  1. DS to finish RRT and visual tracking therapy.
  2. Me to get some kind of social life as the last few years have seen me become increasingly isolated, even if it's just a cup of tea with a friend once a fortnight.


Goals
  1. To find work
  2. To relocate.

Whether my goals are even possible I don't know, but I'd like to at least invistigate the possibilities.
