I've been "writing" ( I use the term writing in it's loosest possible sense of course!) this blog for over 2 years now so I'm able to look back on my new year resolutions for 2007 & 2008 and go me I've acheived a couple of the things that I wanted to do in each of those years. Noteably I've failed on the travel plans - due to lack of money and giant school fees, but hey, what can you do!
Most pleasingly (and despite slippage!) I'm a whole 12lbs lighter and a dress size smaller than I was this time last year. And I managed to keep my little new business on the road despite a couple of non-payment by clients disasters and I at this point I owe no one anything. On the horse front I acheived my NVQ1 in horse care, competed for the first time in 20 years or so (OK not to any standard but a rosette is a rosette) and only fell off once! My gym attendance was sporadic but I walked for 40 minutes every day.
So rather than resolve I'm going to make some wishes for 2009. I wish that in 2009 life will be;
- more sociable. Some more parties and some more laughs would be lovely.
- turn up a NBF ( New Best Friend - or at least one who doesn't live miles and miles away!)
- prosperous ( probably a slightly demented wish in a recession but I can wish!)
- fit and healthy!
- feature me being a steady size 12 (not a vascilating 12-14!)
- involve travel! (although I concede that will depend upon the prosperous bit)
And I wish for all my kind and forbearing readers everything you would wish for yourselves!
Happy 2009!

NG but you are still a whole dress size smaller than me!! I meant to ask -was your riding holiday with Far and Ride? As we are contemplating a spot of trail riding in Croatia with them?
Thank you for your resolution list, Lippy. I see that you have all the same ones as me, now I don't have to list mine. I hope you have a very Happy New Year and oodles of fun celebrating.

Hey Lippy - re the riding holidays we went through http://www.rideworldwide.co.uk who were really good - but I've heard very good things re Far & Ride, and Croatia would amazing!
Sounds like 2008 was somewhat successful, wishing you all the best for 2009 and hoping your resolutions and wishes come true.
