This Year I Resolve....

I was thinking about what New year's resolutions to go for this year.. and I got a bit stuck. I managed NONE of last year's.. It was tempting to do nothing.. but actually I think what I want to do this year is (drum roll........)

FINISH THINGS

I'm one of those people who likes new things, and it means that I can leave all kinds of things a bit ragged when I get bored of them. Its a real deal and affects everything from what gets binned from my fridge to what gets binned from my diary. So this year I resolve to finish things..

In the light of that I am going to finish the 100 books.. (i'm up to 71 I think!)

And Ali.. no more having to moan for the wasted fruit!!!

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.
