What are your resolutions and ambitions for 2017? Tell us to win luxury goodies including macarons & champagne PLUS a copy of The House of New Beginnings by Lucy Diamond

[SorchaMumsnet]

To celebrate the publication of bestselling author Lucy Diamond's latest novel The House of New Beginnings, we're asking you to share your big plans for this coming year.

Number 11, Dukes Square looks just like the other houses on the Brighton seafront: a Regency terrace, a winding staircase, and post piling up in the hall for its three new tenants. It might be part of the city's history, but it's also a place for fresh starts.

Georgie has followed her childhood sweetheart to Brighton but is determined to carve out a career for herself in journalism. Charlotte's in the city for a new start, hoping to keep her head down and somehow get over the heartbreaking loss she's suffered in the past. A terrible revelation sent Rosa running from London to start again as a sous chef. As the three women find each other, it's as if a whole new chapter of their lives has begun.

From the bestselling author of The Secrets of Happiness and Summer at Shell Cottage, this is an uplifting story about love, loss and starting over.

To be in with a chance of winning a hardback edition of The House of New Beginnings, a bottle of champagne PLUS a luxury box of macarons from Brighton's famous Julien Plumart Patisserie (featured in the book), just tell us - what are your resolutions and ambitions for 2017? Three runners-up will also receive copies of the book.

This discussion is sponsored by Macmillan and will close at midday on Thursday 23 February

I've been trying to do things I actively enjoy and cut out commitments I regret accepting or taking on. Making more time for my family over other external distractions. Continuing to exercise and spend time outside. Go to museums & exhibitions more often (now I have fewer distractions), going on courses to expand my outlook.

Mine is to exercise more and eat more healthily so I have started to go to pilates, zumba and boogie bounce and think about what I put in my mouth !

My New Years resolution is portion control to manage my weight a bit better, coupled with upping my general fitness

Be better at saving!

After a difficult 2016 when I had a stroke out of the blue my resolutions are to make the most of every day and to appreciate all my lovely family even more. My ambitions are for my children and hope they get all the success they deserve.

I've been out of an abusive relationship now for almost two years and although he has dragged me through court from Jan-Nov last year I've decided 2017 I'm not letting him control me or have an influence on me anymore !! I'm drinking more wine , eating more chocolate (have lost two stone through stress) and I'm going to make myself happy whatever it takes ! I'm going to do my driving and get a car and hopefully get back to work (contract wasn't renewed after I had baby 😩) surrounding myself with positivity 👌👍🏼😁❤️😍🤞

I would really like to learn to speak French, I am trying really hard!

I am trying to read a book a week :)
