Next year I would like to…
start a masters (hopefully through a highly subsidised program!)
Top up My savings.
take my dc on an adventure trip to remember forever.

Get through the year without anymore personal traumas.
I inherited 300k in 2025 and don't know what to do with it. I'd like a nicer house/garden but the thought of the stress involved is worrying me.

PhantomAfternoonTea · 31/12/2025 16:09

I want to increase my pension contributions, re-decorate my bedroom and take a pottery class. Hopefully they're all achievable! 🤞

ResusciAnnie · 31/12/2025 16:12

Read the Artist’s Way
Read The Body Keeps The Score
Do local 10 hour walk with friends
Lots of park runs
Lots of walking
Go to local lake for wild swim & sauna (rivers gross me out)
Cook more - less deliveroo

Got loads of fun stuff planned but they’re not goals. Can’t wait! Love a new year.

GameOfJones · 31/12/2025 16:12

I lost a lot of weight in 2025 so that's been a huge achievement for me.

I want to try a new recipe every week and focus on eating more whole foods for 2026.

Magpiecomplex · 31/12/2025 16:15

Lose weight, save money and finish the huge stack of half-read books. Hopefully losing weight will also mean getting a bit healthier.

Playingvideogames · 31/12/2025 16:17

Pass my driving test (at last - nearly there with lessons)
Pass another exam
Improve my health. I have 2 small children so can’t set unachievable hard goals, but where there is the opportunity to make better choices, I want to take them - just eating a bit better, making sure I turn lights out by 10.30pm, that kind of thing.

ChronicallyMum · 31/12/2025 16:18

Fix my mental health and lose weight are the main ones.

MissyB1 · 31/12/2025 16:20

Pretty basic ones for me.
•Try and get on top of my anxiety.
• Read more books.
• Try some new classes at my gym
• Make more effort to see friends
• Have a couple of weekends away without dh or ds!

Livelovelaughfuckoff · 31/12/2025 16:23

2025
Left my job and set up own business.

Finally got diagnosis for ongoing health issues and on pathway for treatment.

Started going for counselling.

Joined a book club

2026
Get on top of health issues (endometriosis and chronic sinusitis is not a winning combination!)

Increase pension and savings

Build my business up (ideally generate an idea for a passive income

Put more effort into social life (contingent on improving health!)

Go away by myself for a short break.

Imicola · 31/12/2025 16:24

Learn a backward somersault.

Improve my upper arm and wrist strength... I'd particularly love to be able to lift my own body weight, e.g. on monkey bars, but that may be too much!

Have a job... ideally a new one and get redundancy payment from my current workplace, but I'd settle with just keeping my current job 😉

SnowDaysAndBadLays · 31/12/2025 16:56

See Harry Styles.

Tfdb · 31/12/2025 16:58

To be healthy, had cancer and some other health complications this year, so looking forward to a healthy year now that’s behind me.
We’re moving to another country in feb, so looking to integrate and just get stuck into life.

50NotFat · 31/12/2025 16:59

I’ve lost weight the last 8 months and need to lose a bit more. Got my 50th coming up soon and want to be slimmer and fitter for that. Renewing my gym membership in the morning (runs out tonight!) and upping my fitness routine after 7 months of injury.

dogsandbudgey · 31/12/2025 17:05

I want to sell a rental property to free up some cash. I haven’t had a great 2025 so hoping that things are a bit smoother this year with less financial problems.

id also like to loose the 3 stone that has been holding my confidence back

decorate my bedroom

maybe get a little holiday later in the year.

to be honest I just want a stress feee happier year than 2025 with my health intact too ❤️

MiddlingMarch · 31/12/2025 17:06

At least get started on an extension to the house.

Run 10k regularly (am comfortably running 5k once a week. Have run half marathon in the past. So not unachievable!)

See friends more often

Finish a book i have had on my 'being read' pile for too long.
