@NewYearFitQueen thank you. Appreciate that and the same for you.

I write fiction! I want to decide what I want to have by the end of next year because it takes a lot of motivation.

Hello to setting up own business in 2026 🤞

Andtheworldwentwhite · 31/12/2025 17:29

I lost two relatives and my cat this year. My family have lost a business so quite frankly this is a year of death and sorrow. And I will be pleased to see the back of it.

Sorry to hear that, hard when so many things happen all at once, life sometimes doesn't give you chance to get back up before knocking you over again, wishing you all the best for 2026 x

Wow congrats, how did you achieve that? I'm hoping to lose a good stone, made zero progress with that all past year, but I'm about to get a treadmill for 2026

I like your goals and I wish you good luck

Had my 3 years of bad luck, so am now hopeful for the good things. I've given up some vices for health reasons already so now I am focusing on the luxe side of eating well (nutritionally not weight loss oriented) and trying to get less items but more luxury. So chucking out 3 ratty primark hairbrushes and buying one decent Mason & Pearson, for example.

IncaAztec · 31/12/2025 20:49

Hello to braces for my DD after a 2 year wait
Hello to maintaining my current weight
Hopefully hello to a better paid job
Hello to passing a qualification

Goodbye to a horrible person

GCSEBiostruggles · 31/12/2025 20:49

Sorry @LorettaY - I didn't mean to tag you!

EveryKneeShallBow · 31/12/2025 20:53

Goodbye to kidney failure
Hello to life after transplant
