New Year resolutions. What, if any, are yours? Please tell...

[GeraldineMumsnet]

Are your thoughts turning to 2012 yet? What sort of New Year resolutions will you be making? To be healthier, glammier, thriftier, greener, nicer, wiser? None of the above?

Thank you in advance for any posts.

To stop fannying about on the internet (again)

Eat less rubbish (recurring)
Spend less on rubbish - we really have all the stuff we can fit in the blooming house, so why I continue to buy stuff i do not know
Be more productive at work - less coffee and chat, less working late
Have finished decorating the bedroom by 2013
Have paid someone to sort out the bathroom by 2013

oh, and to get to bed properly early at least twice weekly.

This time next year I resolve to be more stylish than I am now and have more self-esteem. This will definitely involve shopping; it may involve counselling. I (and DH) will also start TTC DC2.
I agree with everyone else with the internet fannying - especially on phone in front of DC1!

I AM giving up smoking (for the 25th year in a row )

I need to do something different this year. I've got 1 year until I'm 30 so maybe a 30 things to do before I'm 30 list

Or something cheesy like that!

Well I made resolutions last year for the first time ever, I wrote them down and everything, the biggest one was don't fall in love. Broke that by the middle of January

Soooooooo this year I will make my resolution not to become a millionaire....

Lose 1st
Be more adventurous with my make up as I have so many eyeshadows etc that aren't being used and collecting dust...

I have taken up a friend on her dare - does that count as a resolution?

She dared me that I couldn't spend any money on clothes for myself in 2012! There are 4 main exceptions:

1. I can buy essentials, but only on a replace basis. Essentials are basically underwear!
2. I can make up the cost if I get a voucher for a shop.
3. I can shop in Charity Shops.
4. I can shop when abroad.

I am actually looking forward to doing it! Saving money and learning to discipline myself to save money.

Other resolutions include baking more and visiting more Charity shops! :o

I have a few things I would like to achieve in 2012

I would like to be more present, and with that I would like to reduce / come off my MH medication.

I would like to engage more with my family life - this is related to the above, It will be easier to do without my head being full of drugs.

anything else will be a bonus

am really looking forward to it.

I want to make more of an effort with my family and be a bit more considerate. I also want to be more assertive.

I would do the obligatory lose weight one but DC2 isn't due til the end of March.

Spend less time on my iPhone and iPad and read books instead

Am going to food shop on-line so many friends do now and I hate shopping.

Toulouse wait as ever........

Sorry Dubai, Moscow

Come out of hibernation!

Mine is to be more organised and reliable. Realised this year that unreliable people are really bloody annoying when only 6 out of 14 people turned up at my birthday. And our house is permanently a tip and it makes us both mad and sad.

I see both as 2 sides of the same coin. And I really want to make them happen.

Also, to have more sex. ;)

Less tv for the kids.

Become a vegetarian
Lose 10kg or 10% of my body weight by my birthday (August)
Pay off a huge slab of my credit card
Buy an 3G iPad 2
Buy MOTH a new BBQ for Fathers Day
Start looking at Secondary Schools for DS for 2014

Lose weight (obviously)
Be more intentional about curriculum (we homeschool)
Get a food dehydrator
Stop buying bread
Try dairy kefir
Blog more regularly
Get 25% equity in house before may (so that we can let it out when we need to!)

yellow I salute you. I wish more people would make this resolution. DS birthday morning I knew we had between 3 and 14 out of the 20 invited coming.
So frustrating!

To get my new house finished and move in before the new baby comes.
Please lord let this happen! Please?!
Also stop wasting money on things we don't need and save more so I don't have to go back to work after the arrival of said baby.
There. Easy!

It's quite a good resolution, I think Gracie, and not unachievable by any stretch of the imagination. I am guilty myself of pulling out of stuff at the last minute, stating knackeredness or stress, but now I'm going to try to turn up, even if I just stay for half an hour.

It really upset/annoyed me to be sitting tensely at my birthday party, not knowing if people were coming or not. I was so happy to see the people I did see, but I just couldn't relaxed. Would be horrified to think that others felt the same if I didn't come - and they probably would. It's all tied in with self-esteem I think, I'm fully convinced that if I don't come, people won't be bothered. But they probably are, so from now on, I will stick to my promises.

My New Years Resolution is 2560 x 1440

Be more organised around the flat, at least until we manage to sell it.

Sell the flat.

Buy a house with a garden, a biiiiig kitchen and a gift-wrapping room.

Start writing again and actually finish something so that I have a chance of selling something. Otherwise, come September, I might have to get a proper job.

Writing this might actually get me doing it.
