I find September is when I make and activate my new year resolutions. It feels more appropriate at the beginning of the academic year, not sure why.

I'm going to try and be greener. Ditch the plastic bags and get reusable ones, recycle more, including glass which I usually just stick in a black sack blush

mincepie, I've got enough to prepare already, without adding to the list...grin

Last year I resolved to make more time for myself and the year before. I am going to give it one more try this year and hope it will be third time lucky.

As I have spent 6 months of each year for the last nine years living in Spain, I have never mastered the language.

So..........my New Year's resolution is to go for an Intensive two week course at the end of March 2013, living with a family and going to 30 lessons each week!!!

At least then, together with my basic knowledge now....I should be more able to say that I did try to speak Spanish properly whilst benefitting from Spanish hospitality and their patience with my "lack of language"!!

Only three weeks left until the end of the year, never too early to prepare!!

When I decided to give up smoking I deliberately set the date to stop as 1 December on the basis that by the time everyone else was giving up their New Year Resolutions in early February, I would be so well into my plan that I would just keep going. Which I have.

I never will make any either. I have never kept any anyway so what's the point of setting myself up to fail in the first place.

It's far too early to be thinking about those.....

After 50 years of never acting on them I don't bother now.

It's always the monday diet isn't it. blush

Go to gym/swim at least 3 times a week.

Good idea with the blog.

I haven't really thought about new year resolutions... But I guess I might go running more. Or take up some other kind of exercise.

Lose a bit more weight <hides chocolate bar> grin

Never have, never will grin

...What's yours?

I'm going to start a blog and attempt to update at least once a week... Not sure whether I'll last the entire year!
