New Year Promises

I don’t want to make any resolutions, resolutions are the things you drunkenly think off on New years eve and give up by the end of January. I am therefore going to make some promises.

1) To live each day to the fullest.
    2012 showed us that things can go wrong very quickly, with Elizabeth getting cancer and the loss of Kerry from Multiple Mummy it really does make you value each and every day.

2) To raise money for all the charities who have helped us so they can help other people.
    The list of charities that have helped us over the past few months is impressive and I will be making an effort to do what I can for each and every one of them. I am using Give as you Live to raise money for Starlight Foundation, I always donate to Ronald McDonalds House whenever I am in Mcdonalds and I donate to Children in Need every year. I am also growing my hair for the little princesses trust and I donate all our review toys to Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital but I still have Macmillan Cancer care and Clic Sargent to think about. I will start running again so will do the Great Manchester 10k again and I am sure there will be other things I can do too.

3) To get fitter
    Obviously the running will help me with this but I will also rejoin Slimming World. In between the girls I managed to lose quite a bit with Slimming World and it was an eating plan that I could happily stick too. Unfortunately our wedding, two young children and other commitments threw me off and I never got back on. I will also be listening to my Thinking Slimmer mp3 as this helped me when I started running last year. A combination of these three things and hopefully 2013 will be a success.

4) To fill up my piggy bank.
     This actually means two things for me, I will start transferring a regular amount into my savings account to help out when we need it most and that I will also fill up my metaphoric piggy bank with the kids. They need my love, attention and time more than they need anything else.
