mine is normally never to make a resolution, but this year I changed my mind.
I hope to be at least a size 16 by this time next year. A 14 would be even better bu I think is unattainable in a year 'cos, let's face it, I have lived with myself for 29 years now and I know my will power is non existant!!!
I'm going to continue spending less at supermarkets on food. we're doing well with our mid-year-resolution of "eat all you buy", I want to continue it.
We wont be buying anything new with regards to clothing or electronics UNLESS it is VERY heavily discounted. so all new clothes will be second hand or on at least 40% off sale.*
All electronics will be second hand (our second hand, 20 year old dryer has served us well but I think it's nearing death... not bad for a total cost of £27. we've had 4 years of heavy use out of it).
the only things we will buy new are sewing machine needles and thread (all fabrics must be second hand), essential car parts, school uniform, underwear and sophie shoes. me and jim shouldn't really need new shoes again until this time next year 'cos we both have some (yeah, says the shoe addict with no resolve!).
*I'm putting this disclaimer bit because there's an H+M order I just made for myself, but the dress I wanted is now half price and is now about £12, I have a £5 off code, AND a 25% off your whole order code, so for £11.50 I got the dress, a vest top tunic AND paid postage... the dress is to replace a similar item I owned for 10 years that finally gave up its fight for life too, and the vest top is because I always wear vest tops under jumpers but am down to two of the buggers.
finally I want to change the things I can, accept the things I can and grow the wisdom to know the difference lol.
oh how I love my tea, tea in the afternoon. I can't do without it, and I think I'll have another cup very
ve-he-he-he-heryyyyyyy soooooooooooon!!!!
