Please can we get your New Year resolutions

[GeraldineMumsnet]

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 start DD at a dancing school, one where she can boogie, meet new people and have fun, because I love her and she deserves something special (she does love wiggling her bum).

[tatt]

my new years resolution is usually not to make new year's resolutions. Why bother - mostly people drop them when they get difficult, then feel like failures.

If you must make New Year Resolutions make ones like eating chocolate at least once a week - then you'll keep it and be happy.

Must resolve to spend less time on mumsnet.....

[NCRedBreastedBirdy]

Give up smoking (again)
Loose weight (again)
Become more obsessive about housework (that would be a first)
