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

My 2017 new years resolution is to get my art business up & running again a year after having baby number 4, we are both taking baby steps into the future.

I'm not one to make New Years resolutions as such but I did promise to myself to be less uptight with the kids, yes they make a mess, yes they scream a lot, the house is a mess most days but they're only little for such a short period of time.

I also wanted to setup my own little business and that I have done now, second month running making a bit of my own money to help with the budget, feels good! x

2017 is going to be spent renovating our new house. New kitchen, 2 bathrooms, new flooring and lots of painting! And in between all of that I really want to try and go to as many live events as possible, theatre, gigs, festivals, etc. Will keep me busy!

Ton be more positive and say yes more !

I would like to look after my health and well being not only for myself but for my children's sake. And now my youngest is about to start school in 2017 I would really like to turn my hobbies into my own business. I've been self employed part time for 8 years now I need and want to turn that into a full time career. Exciting but scary.

My ambition is to learn to drive....i turn 30+1 this year!!! Its something ive always wanted to do but confidence and anxiety has let me down. This year im coming up bigger and better!!!

I'm going to make more homemade healthy meals for my family and make my own sauces instead of buying ready made

To be more positive in 2017. And to be more helpful to others.

My resolutions are to see more places ...exploring is my favourite thing to do!! Started the year in Scotland, been on a weekend break to Hampshire and now planning all sorts for the rest of the year!!

My husband was made redundant last November so we are using the money to slowly build up his art business.

My goal is to be the woman with jobs done not jobs still to do months later!

I just want to pack more excitement and adventure into my life now that I have more free time and before I get too old to enjoy myself

To lose weight, obvs!

My resolution is to walk much more instead of always taking the car, which I tend to do even for the shortest journeys. Good for my pocket, health and trying to do my bit for the environment!

I am learning Italian, and also resolved to keep working on my children's books and to try and get one published.

Last year i lost 2 stone 3 pounds so this year i aim to get fitter. I am going to walk a lot more and aim to do at least 10,000 steps a day. Also i have started to cook everything from scratch so not hidden calories

I would love to take my family away next year or year after to disneyland so i have started a holiday saving jar and put all loose change in as well as 2 pound a day which i would normally use to buy snacks or magazines with. its going well so far.

Thanks all for sharing your hopes and dreams for 2017 and best of luck with accomplishing them
