In a flurry of forward planning we're thinking ahead to January and would like to know your New Year resolutions (as long as they don't include spending less time on MN ). Thank you in advance.

to have less sex

oh no hold on that's not right

JacksFirstChristmasMama · 03/12/2008 16:35

I'm keeping some from the last few years.

To take better care of myself. That includes taking naps and arranging for "me-time".
To say no when I really mean no.
To spend more time with people I really like and not waste my time with the ones I don't care for that much.

New ones:
To be kinder to DH.
To focus more on my work when I'm there (as I only work half-time that should be achievable but I have a 9 1/2 month old baby and so, often, when I'm at work, my mind isn't all there)
To eat better (shop for healthier food and cook more)
To keep in touch more with my girlfriends.
To let go of stored-up resentments.

bandgeek · 03/12/2008 14:00

To tone up, especially my jelly belly
Walk more
Stop spending money on crap
Build up my self esteem and generally start liking myself a bit better

VinegarTinselTits · 03/12/2008 13:25

To stop eating doughnuts
