Mine are

  1. to focus more on being healthy and taking care of myself.
  2. start the research for my book
  3. be more organised ( can anyone recommend an organiser app or something?)

What are yours? Or anything you'd like to change next year?

Buttons yes to that for me too!

Five yes to swimming, it's the only exercise I can do, and naughty I've just moved house so that's high on my list also!

Drink more water

Spend less time reading crap on my phone and read more books/do a puzzle/learn how to knit aka use my brain!

ComeTheFuck0nBridget · 31/12/2017 10:17

Same as every year: get to my goal weight

At least this year though, for the first time ever, I'm actually already half way there Grin

Start (properly) writing a book (I've done some brain dump writing but need to start properly structuring and building characters).
Be a better wife and mum.
Eat more healthily.
Declutter.
Exercise more.
Maybe learn to knit or sew.

  1. improve healthy eating for the whole family. We have ordered a veg box and done an order of healthy ingredients from Ocado. Life-style change, not diet style.
  2. less social media, especially when with children.
  3. plan family time. I’m a SAHP and have often been lead by DH at w/e, but feel we may be more (pro-)active if I take a bit more control, now DC are a bit bigger.
minipie · 31/12/2017 10:29

Get off mumsnet!

Get on with our long planned, long delayed house renovation

The two might be related Blush

Doing yoga at home (YouTube Adriana Yoga videos). I find it really difficult doing yoga on my own, so it's a bit of a mission to do it regularly

crisscrosscranky · 31/12/2017 10:34

I am going to try and live a simpler life- trips to the park rather than soft play, walk the dog rather than going shopping for things I don't need...

@gingerclementine I started the 'tidy up 27 things' rule about 6 months ago and it's changed my life ish - my house is almost always visitor ready now!

MinkowskisButterfly · 31/12/2017 10:38

To get on top of my house and the clutter that is every where.

Get stuck into my study/prep for next academic year (I am doing a degree but have had to defer after last academic year due to family issues).

Oh and lose some of this excess weight I am carrying.

MillieMoodle · 31/12/2017 10:43

Just generally, to get my shit together!
I hope to manage that by resolving to:

  • Declutter the house and empty all my stuff that's still at my parents' house even though I moved out over 10 years ago.
  • start exercising regularly, at least twice a week, every week. Currently do nothing.
  • eat more healthily and cut out the crap. Hoping this one and the exercise one will help me lose weight.
  • lose 2 stone.
  • spend less time on my phone, especially at the weekend, and get out and do more with the kids.
FauxFox · 31/12/2017 10:45

I am going to read 12 books this year - I used to read loads but my phone has taken me over!

I am also going to start using the calendar/diary function on my phone to be more organised.

Last year I resolved to give blood as I never had and I have been every 4 months (3 times this year) and will continue to do this - if you are searching for a very worthwhile and achievable resolution i’d highly recommend it Grin

IHaveACuntingPlan · 31/12/2017 10:45

Be more proactive with work so I get more of it and then be less skint

Force myself to get out more and do more things related to my hobby and meet more people

Be a bit less lazy
