That Was The Year That Was

Another year has passed us by in the blink of an eye, for me it's been a year of change with the arrival of Leah, the 2 weeks in Hospital and 7 months (up to now) of physio. Looking back on last years resolutions I acheived 1, a couple of nice tries and a couple of not a chance.
  • Save for the future - I stopped using my credit card(s)
  • Learn something new - Nope
  • Get fit - I managed to lose 20lbs after my "knee issue"
  • Give up smoking* - OK this was a cheat
  • Re-gain contact with family members - Haven't managed to do this due to my ever growing family.
New Years Resolutions for 2007
  • Get Fitter - not only do I need to work on my previously infected knee to get match fit again, I aim to lose a further 20lbs fat and gain 10lbs muscle
  • Sort the house, garage and garden - SWMBO wants the house decorating, the fence fixing, the decking done in the garden and the garage sorting.
  • Lose Mr Angry - I admit I get a little angry and agressive some of the time (driving, queueing, walking, talking, watching Derby County lose etc), I call these my "Daphne" moments and plan to "Chill" in 2008. In fact the only time I am competely at ease is at work. Where I should be the most stressed.
  • Spend time with my family
Spending 7 months at home did my head in, I think I can also admit it also did SWMBOs head in.
it was great being at home with Leah (for me) but frustrating that I lost my independance (Driving, walking etc).

Anyway, Happy New Year to one and all and here's to a great 2008.

That Was The Year That Was

2006 has been a memorable year for me. In the space of less than 12 months, I have moved house, changed job role (again), got engaged (thanks SWMBO), got pregnant (well SWMBO did).

2007 is clearly going to be a very busy year with our new arrival in May, with this in mind, I have decided on the following New Years resolutions and putting them down on (blog) paper starting 1st January (funnily enough).
  • Save for the future
  • Learn something new
  • Get fit
  • Give up smoking*
  • Re-gain contact with family members
29 December - I have already managed to give up smoking.

By the way, Happy Birthday SWMBOSWMBO & Sis

*OK OK I never started smoking, but I'm aiming high.
