Last year for me went really quickly and looking back I almost feel as though I didn't really accomplish too much. It ended somehow with me having little in the bank account and not much to show for it. I didn't really go on holiday (a weekend in Amsterdam doesn't count!) I didn't fix up our flat and I don't feel I did too much exciting at all! So heres a few of my new years resolutions for 2013! 1. Fix up our flat We have lived in our current flat since August 2010 and since moving in I've hardly done anything. Of course, we bought a new bed and a new TV for the front room and other small bits and bobs but sometimes when people come round I feel a ...  Read the complete review

Whilst I am aware that problems just don't go away over night just because we have entered a new year, I do consider it a fresh start in getting my life sorted for the better. I am very blessed to have a loving family and a roof over my head but some aspects of my personal life/home life that I hope will change in 2013. These are my hopes/goals. ~My Body~ I have always been big built but I didn't realise how heavy I had become until the middle of last year. I was encouraged to join Slimming World and have so far lost nearly 2 stone in 6 months. I have messed about quite a bit with it though. I would love to reach my target weight/size this year and ...  Read the complete review

With the other inspirational resolutions for 2013 written by fellow dooyoo members; here I add mine out of motivation from reading the other reviews and in reinforcing the changes I'd like to make in my life. I am always one to "bah" the idea of resolutions with the dismissing swish of a hand -- perhaps that is one contribution to me not having clear-cut goals. In my faith the concept of not wasting time or being lazy is a fairly important one - especially with regards to what we actually occupy our time with; and so it's about time I take time-management and goal-making and achieving more seriously. It's easy for me to write out the goals, but not so easy ..  Read the complete review

We are 3 days into 2013 and I have set myself two main goals to accomplish by the end of the year. I generally don't really see the point of New Year's Resolutions because I think it's good to be already in the habit of achieving goals that you set for yourself and new year shouldn't really be motivation for it. This year I thought I'd give it a try and see how my goals pan out. 1. Get my driving license I have been on and off with trying to get my driving license for the past year or two and I just always ended up taking a break. I think it's mainly due to always having other things get in the way is my problem. I think also the cost of it is just ...  Read the complete review

I don't usually bother with New Year's Resolutions, but this year I have decided it's time for some changes. Nothing hugely exciting, but I've challenged myself in a few areas and I figured that putting it down on paper will make me commit to the task in hand. HEALTH AND WELLBEING I've never been one for dieting, and although I could probably do with losing a few pounds, I am mostly happy with my weight. I am, however, not so pleased about my fitness levels, as I can get out of breath so easily on walks or even doing housework. My husband and I have pledged to go walking more often, given that we live a stone's throw from the coast, and I'm going ...  Read the complete review
