New Year's Resolutions!

Papacrow did a marvellous job of brainstorming with everyone and helping them to formulate resolutions for this year. After some discussion we kept the same format as last year - and here they are!


Papacrow is going to

Give Up - late nights, wasted expenditure (surprised by this one, he's very thrifty!)
Start Doing - using the internet to sell books, make a comic
Keep Doing - writing, exercising, cooking

Mamacrow is going to

Give up - shouting (yes, again..), dismissive not listening (have been slipping into this I fear)
Start Doing -  breadmaking, read a new (to me) book every month, yoga
Keep Doing - swimming, karate, blogging, maintaining friendships

Saurus is going to

Give up - bossy rude behaviour, scratching at the dinner table
Start Doing - writing stories, a proper fitness regime
Keep Doing - tennis, cricket

Roo is going to

Give up - annoying people for fun, aggression after screens
Start Doing - proper stop animation projects, typing, archery, Palladium RPG (GMing)
Keep doing - writing stories, mucking around at a sensible level

Wig is going to

Give up - frumping, having a messy bed (full of lego most of the time, ouch!)
Start doing - rock climbing, a soft toy making business (interesting...)
Keep doing - tennis, reading

Fluff is going to

Give up - climbing on chairs, being very reactive
Start doing - reading, blogging, cooking (he does help out but evidently wants to do much more)
Keep doing - swimming, karate

Petal is going to

Give up - biting nails, winding up Dot
Start doing - reading, making own dresses and bags (interesting!)
Keep doing - ballet, swimming

Dot is going to

Give up - screaming, whacking people

Honey - LOVE IT!

ps We also have them written out in a chart and up on the wall, otherwise - as we've learnt from bitter experience - we forget all about them!

Perfect. It's so helpful to have affirmations in the environment to remind you where you're going and what you're trying to accomplish!

Ooh, thinking of you. So soon, so soon!
