I’m made a pigs ear of it all so far

Oh I like this. 01 Feb it is.

I had a shitty Q4 last year and vowed it wouldn’t flow into 2026. Well so far it’s stayed mega stressful!

I might have to wait till 01 March as my Feb is looking like a shit fest.

My new year always starts on the 1st of March, January is not the month to start anything, it’s cold, dark and wet. Im still in hibernation mode.

I agree with this.

Yes, horrible January - steroids, antibiotics, two lots of blood tests and a chest x-ray. It's been a crap start to the year. Oh and black eye from getting hit in the face by a recycling bin that blew down the road in the high winds on Monday. So feel like a gremlin and now also look like a gremlin. Luckily I am cat sitting tomorrow in a really gorgeous house so will get lots of floofy cuddles and can float around the kitchen pretending that it's mine so that's something! Sending 'Fantastic February' vibes to everyone. Also it had better be fantastic, it's my bloody birthday!!!

omg @Arlanymor !!

sorry you’ve been ill - hit by a flying bin though girl, omg - at least it’ll be a funny story once the eye goes down 💐🥰

housesitting with a big kitchen and a cat sounds lovely - wanna share how old you’ll be?

Way too much pressure to start the NY on 1st Jan.

1st Feb much more civilised, you gotta ease into it.

Absolutely.

Feels like I've been unwell since Christmas Eve. Flu, then a chest infection, then a diagnosis of asthma and steroids!

All the resolutions wen't out of the window.

Agree with everyone, Sunday it is

sorry you’ve been ill this whole time 💐 - I feel like this is a hard January for some reason, the air just feels thick almost 😒

I like a March 1st start, I'm useless in winter, need the spring to get me going on new starts!

I want to be sexy by the time spring gets here 🥺

namechangeformeeee · 28/01/2026 21:04

Yes me please! I’ve made a complete hash of all resolutions so need to start again

raspberrieswithchocolate · 28/01/2026 21:04

I was just thinking about half an hour ago that it's nearly the 1st of February and I've made a complete hash of my new year's resolutions so far, so I was planning to start afresh on Sunday.

MissyB1 · 28/01/2026 21:01

I’ve had a really stressful January, had to work really long hours whilst having some work done on the house. House should be more or less finished by next week, and I will have a lot more free time. So yes it starts in February for me!

That sounds like a great idea OP.
January has been pretty rubbish so far.
