I used to make resolutions, but no more. I never kept them!

To eat more cheese I can manage that but not today.
Can I swap tea for coffee please?
I never run out of biscuits even the workmen like the Kitkats.
I think I have muddled through all my life.
Try to be less exasperated with DH and the family. I think that is enough for me to aim for.

Thanks you have just made me realise I have some Stilton in the fridge somewhere

Cut back on the crochet. I am obsessed.

I'd happily eat more cheese any time of the year grin

I ate a load of Stilton last night. I love Stilton!

Oooh, I say "getting there" loads at the moment - because I am!

My actual one is to always have fresh flowers in the hall. It's the same every year and I mostly achieve it.

All possible for me Maw except maybe the discarding of old socks... I've got a drawer full of them that 'might be useful one day'!

Sort out the muddle in the house
Get a weekly cleaner despite saying I don’t need one, I do
Mr B says he is willing to do the cooking if I get a cleaner so will need to teach him a bit more than the basics
Be a nicer person

The best way to go, stop making any resolutions, as nobody ever sticks to them.

Eat less cheese for me
Play more golf - get handicap down
Be nicer to spouse and everyone
Drink less alcohol especially from Laithwaites
Discard old socks - definitely
Discard lots of old clothes- Sally Ann bin in the car park
Stop going to Waitrose when already had an Ocado shop- probably unrealistic that one

Excellent advice - thank you, Maw. I shall start on " eat more cheese " immediately. Achievable goals are important.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 01-Jan-23 11:34:23

I can do that 👏👏👏

Let's be realistic! grin
