NY resolutions

Thanks for the reminder Helgawills Used it a lot when the GC came daily but I’d forgotten about it.

Gwenisgreat1 Your DH may have very little saliva so will have a dry mouth. Also his swallowing reflex may be starting to go down hill. Just serve soup and scrambled egg and ice cream he should be fine. don't offer what you are eating, assume he cannot manage it. A glass for sherry as an aperitif before the main meal for you both might go down a treat.

An extra walk with the dog every day, starting today and it’s bloody freezing ??

I don’t make NYRs but I am resolved this year, once I’ve had my vaccination, to have as much fun as I can, to see friends and family as much as I (and they) want and, where possible, not to do things I don’t want to do.

No more than I make daily resolutions. Which I do most mornings!

I want to craft something every day. I will sit and sew this afternoon.

Master my mobile phone.
I know I don't use it properly because unfortunately I don't own a teenager any more.

That sounds a great way to get exercise during the winter months helgawills. I'm tempted to get one

No. I can never keep to them so I don't make them.

I like making them, try to set myself goals and achievements that way my life isn’t so boring and empty. Last year decided to go veggie and still with it, also to lose weight and lost a stone although target was higher. So this year I m aiming for another stone and to do yoga/Pilates at least four times a week as my joints are just so stiff, I started this last week hopefully I’ll get there..happy new year all ?

Not really. Nothing important in my life that I need to resolve. Maybe I'd like to try to make time to revisit an old hobby - painting. I've still got a couple of canvas boards and some paints around somewhere. But no big deal.

This year I have made 2, I don’t usually bother.
1. Learn to use my new glue gun.
2. Only wear a bra when I need to.

None of the usual stuff. But I have made a plan in my head to try to stave off the usual January blues.
I am going to TRY to learn to play the ukelele. My son has loaned me one. Lots of instructions on youTube.
I am going to paint a picture of a bird of some sort. I miss my painting and am determined to get back to it.
I WILL tidy the porch. I've been meaning to for ages.
If I achieve just one of these I'll be pleased.

Absolutely love making them! It’s like having a new school notebook with a clean page. Always on the list is two or three alcohol free days per week or fifteen alcohol free days per month. This one always fails but my intentions are good.

Next is fifteen spend free days per month....the way round this is to put everything in the Amazon basket and only order once a week!

Ones I do usually stick to are half an hour of walking every day, half an hour of reading every day and half an hour of language learning every day!

I do love a list though!

I don’t usually, for all the reasons already stated by others above. However, this year I have resolved to get out and about more...!

LOL

Never, completely pointless

No, I don't make any NYR nowadays.
I made one very good one that I was able to keep, many years ago. That was to not take more (FOC) plastic carrier bags from shops than I could re-use, either for shopping or as bin-bags.
That stood me in good stead when it was advised/charging started/enforced.

Apart from making a walk a daily event, rather than when I feel like it, no, I won't be making any. Last year, our joint resolution was to travel more while we could, that went well didn't it!

Made a resolution last year with my husband, to use our wii sports resort regularly. Great way to have fun together and improve skills. Gets quite competitive. Daughter and partner joined in this Christmas. All had fun together. There's bowling, frisbee, archery, golf, cycling, kayaking, all sorts. Single player options are available.

I stopped making any years ago. Last was probably when I vowed to stop leaving weekend homework until Sunday evening - that didn’t last long either.

I avoid any reading matter concerning veganuary, diet-January, gym-January, etc. Thoughts of eating less and exercising a bit more are reserved for longer days when the crocuses at least are out, and spring really is on the way.

The last one I made was sometime in the 1980s and I've kept it. What was it? I resolved never to make another new year resolution!

I'm going to aim to walk more and be more careful with my diet but not til winter has gone! The beginning of March will do. ?

My elderly GP, years ago, didn't agree with dieting through the winter months, which was a great excuse to hide behind.

Quite right Gwen. He is a big boy and you are not his mother. ??

I must resolve to walk more too....forgot about that one. ?
