New Year is just around the corner, which for many means new beginnings, new experiences and new goals! Whether you’re continuing goals from this year, creating new ones, setting big goals or small ones HP wants to hear all about them and how you’ll be achieving them.

Here’s what HP Instant Ink have to say: “New Year brings a fresh start, whether you have a health and fitness goal, want to save money or plan more activities as a family, why not start with HP Instant Ink.

Will you be printing out your family’s meal planners and fitness charts, or perhaps your DC will have a star chart printed out on the wall to tick off their New Year Bucket List? Perhaps you have personal goals to do more of the things you love or even try new hobbies? What about those areas of your house that are in need of a declutter? Or maybe you’re setting new goals as a family or with you and your partner?

If you need any inspiration on how to achieve your goals, we have created a New Year's Resolution Pinterest Board in collaboration with HP and some of our Mumsnet Influencers. Please click here to have a look

My goal is to be kinder to myself. Make more time for myself. Treat myself more often. Stop being so hard on myself. To stop striving for perfection and realise that my I am great just the way I am :)

New years resolutions are to:

1. double my income.

To be achieved by training to build on my skills then setting up my own small business so that I can work hours which don’t require childcare

1. Get the family more active.

We’re going to each come up with ideas for activities and write them on the calendar, so that we actually plan them into our lives and do them

1. Try to be more positive about my self image.

To appreciate 3 things about myself every day, and say them out loud to myself. I’ve started with body positivity to fight my dysmorphia

To recycle more, and have joined a local win on waste group to help achieve this

My goal is to be more organised. Ive made a planner for birthday and christmas presents so i can keep track of what ive got who and what ive spent.

Im also doing meal planning and budgetting. Im determined to save money this year

It's been several years dedication in the making, but the finnishing line is near....... This years goal, pay off the mortgage.

After years of putting on weight this is the year that I am going to reach my target weight and to get fitter. I have joined Slimming World so I have the eating plan and support and now I am going to join our local gym. PS I am also dragging my partner along for the ride

My goal is to better at keeping the housework under control. I'm following The Organised Mum Method to help me

Be more healthy definitely, less chocolate more gym sessions and eating vegan twice a week. Also not going to eat red meat for a month and see if my body improves :)

my goal is to be more organised, i have bought a wall planner and a diary x

My goal is to save more money, by not buying stuff I don’t really need.

I want to have more social activities to be doing this year, and getting my fitness into place by going to the gym regularly.

I need to get on top of my credit card debts and pay them off this year.

My goal is to get the whole family out of the house and off the sofa. We are doing more. Even just things like going down the coast for a walk or going to the pictures etc. We are all enjoying it so far dx

I don't do New Year's Resolutions. I'm trying to learn to accept myself as I am. Constant goal setting is exhausting and there's too much pressure and unwanted advice making us all feel inferior. Sick of social media telling me what I should be doing. will listen more to my 'inner parent' and use instincts more.

I’m trying to exercise more by walking everyday and eating healthier

A few ideas for resolutions that we've had as a family for the new year are:

• to spend more quality time as a family - could be having a chat over the dinner table, having a day out together, or just watching the same film together.
• to get out in the fresh air and go walking at least twice a week.
• to catch up on all the tv shows and box sets we've got stored up
• to eat more healthily, and rely less on processed food or stuff from the freezer.

and

• to keep on top of homework as soon as it's given out

to keep up my fitness and also to drink more water

I'm going to travel more and stress less - already booked a break away and am changing my jobs to reduce my hours!

I'm going to start printing out the pictures of fun times and putting them in albums - just like the old days, LOL! #Making Memories

My resolution is to go to bed much earlier. I’m hoping that I will spend less time on screens, read more books and eat less snacks by doing this, as well as feeling more refreshed of course. I am naturally an ‘owl ‘ person so it might be tricky to retrain my body clock after all this time, but I’m hopeful.

lose weight and get fitter, we eating more chicken base meals and so more protein and veg as oopose to steak and chips /spag bol type meals

I've started journalling, the first time I've ever done this; it's going to keep my goals of family activities, holidays, home improvements and more for the year, all in one place. I've also allocated pages to write a brief note about how each day has been, this is to improve my mental health.

So looking forward to my journal journey, 18 days in and it's going well and my journal is filling up nicely.

I am going to lose weight. I have lost 1/2 stone so far

Im trying to just generally be more organised this year! Ive got printed meal plans and shopping lists for this month, and have sorted out all my paperwork on my desk! So far so good x

We really want to expand our family with baby number two. However i really want to lose weight first to ensure if fit throughout the pregnancy. I've started by giving up alcohol, eating a lot less meat and joining a gym. I'm 7lbs down already so fingers crossed we'll have happy news soon.
