VioletSky, my dead cert resolution - is to have no resolutions. I'm just perfect anyway!

Try not to fall down... (I can't get up)
Try to comprehend the above post.

Sorry I miss read your Heading I thought it was a resolution to get rid of babies' dummies. I just can't stand seeing mothers take a dirty one out of their pocket give it a lick and jam it into the baby's mouth.
My MIL who had never breastfed was always trying to sneak one into my DD's mouth which she spat out instantly. I was banned to the parlour to do the dastardly deed of breastfeeding. O.K. the men in the family could not see but anyone passing up the street could.
1. A resolution to let things float by and stop worrying as DH does and not feel everything is my responsibility. If he does not like his supper then tough luck. He can make the next one.
2. Not to be everyone's floor cloth.

Go tripping (day trips on my own) Don’t have to please anyone.
Theatre and concert trips, also solo.
Not answering the ‘phone.
Ignore the front doorbell.
Only see people I really want to see.

A lady after my own heart. I was just about to bake a cake yesterday and the 'phone went. I knew who it was and that they wanted to spend an hour chatting, so ignored the call.

I was all excited for a minute. I thought it said ‘Revolution For Dummies’.

I resolve to clean my glasses more often blush

Callistemon21 Sun 01-Jan-23 19:55:21

Increase my stash of knitting yarn while supposedly using it up with the blanket I do maybe an inch of, in between the more absorbing projects

Finish the N set

Callistemon21 Sun 01-Jan-23 19:54:20

Declutter

Be more organised next Christmas.
Go to bed earlier (not very likely)
Learn my mobile phone number (same as last year - it didn't happen)
Drink more water (will try)
Walk more (depends on the weather)

Redrobin51 Sun 01-Jan-23 19:36:28

Read more books.
See more of my friends.
Go out with the dog more as she has such a joy in life and it will rub off on me.x

Urmstongran Sun 01-Jan-23 19:34:14

Spend time only with people I like or love.
Read a lot.
Count my blessings.

VioletSky Sun 01-Jan-23 19:33:13

I can definitely manage at least 4 cups of tea a day

Read at least one book a week.
Drink at least 4 cups of coffee a day

😂
Am with you on that one.
Not a believer in resolutions as nobody ever does them for long but every cuppa with a biccy or slice of cake, yep, can do that one just fine.
I could also do making sure am in bed by10.30 and up by 10 a.m
On a roll now, I could also make sure I dust the house once a year.

VioletSky Sun 01-Jan-23 18:32:32

What's an easy resolution you can definitely keep?

I'm going to:

Get out of bed every day in 2023

Eat more cake

Do more cartwheels

2 out of 3 will definitely be fine
