New Year, new post, new me - possibly

It's certainly cold, and I'm absolutely feeling much better now - almost back to normal, though slightly achey from too much time on the sofa!
I'd like to do something fairly dull, and do a list of the great things I'm going to achieve, or give up this year. Instead I'm feeling more likely to shout at myself, as I did at Lovely M when he asked me what my resolutions are.

However the things I'd like to see happen this year are many, and here is a little sampler;

1. Spend some time in the middle of nowhere in a log cabin - not sure why, just feel need for wilderness, not birdwatching though.
2. Go out more with Lovely M - need a babysitter for this one, friends, offers?
3. See little Ol learn to read, he impressed me by reading look on the road today, next step Enid Blyton.
4. See J get more confident and learn to look at people (especially strange old ladies in Bexhill) when they talk to her, and lose the paralysis of shyness.
5. Lose some weight (oh, how predictable) - or alternatively just buy some amazing clothes that make me look thinner.
6. Pay off some money/debts (again, how predictable - but would be fantastic to start next year in a clearer position)
7. Slug proof the inside of the house, note to others; if you have a slug ridden garden and bring in a tree from outside, the slugs will come too.
8. Take more photos, and write more meaningful things rather than lists of silly things I, my family and friends have done.
9. Go to more house parties - even with children, don't need to be big, just fun.
10. Actually indulge creative side more with visits up to town, and galleries etc, once every couple of months to the local art gallery is not enough; and an hour and a half train ride for some rejuvenation is priceless (sound like advert for Barclaycard/trains now).

That's it, the list - how about you...any marvellous inspirational ideas for 2009, or just everyday ones that make life a little better?
