Another year, another resolution or two

This year I have decided it's going to be my year. Despite all the rotten stuff like the huge bill I have to pay to HMRC (which isn't my fault but they say I still have to pay), to the neighbours from hell, the astronomical increase in petrol for the car as well as all the other increases we are about to get due to the rise in VAT, I shall overcome them all even with my very modest and pathetic pension.
As I have to shed quite a lot of weight, I will be able to save some money by reducing my portion sizes which are larger than they should be because I hate waste and tend to use up everything instead of making an extra meal and freezing it.
I will also save by not buying any clothes because I will have to lose weight to get into the ones that I have but not worn for a very long time.
Because of the arthritis and sciatica I will make sure that I go out for a good walk every day to keep me supple and stop me vegetating.
Nothing and no one is going to get the better of me this year because I will make sure that I am a force to be reckoned with and not somebody to be crushed or pushed around just because I have had a few more birthdays than everyone else (with another one on Monday!).
Finally, I will make my own Christmas puddings and Christmas cake next Christmas because the small ones I bought this year are quite disgusting even though they come from one of the 'best' retailers :)
A very happy New Year to you all and may your wishes all come true in 2011.
