Anyone else want to share there ones?
This year as a family we want to:
1. Get our budget under control and get rid of debt - hello frugal 2008
2. Eat healthier, more organic etc.
3. Take further steps to "greenness" - I have a worm farm and vege garden on my to do list. Eating more organic will also fall in here.
Also invidually I want to:
1. Lose 10-15kg. Time to bring sexy back once and for all!
2. Take steps to achieving my ultimate career goal.
What do others aim to do?

Wellll, most of mine have been mentioned.
Lose weight (aiming for 10-15kg total - be happy to lose anything at this stage!)
And, alongside that, get fit!
Spend more quality time with DH and the kids
Get my post-grad cert assignments ready ahead of time instead of finishing them at 2am the day I need to post them!!
Sort out my paperwork and junkroom (started as a study/rumpus but rapidly became a dumping ground!)
And Kels - I never had any sexy but if I find some I will be posting pics!!
Hehe, wonder how far we'll all get on this.

I'm extremely proud to say that my resolutions don't consist of losing weight (after just having lost 15kg since August) well... at least not as much as last year's resolution! I'm over half way to my goal. That feels good, right on new years.
Kels, I'll hold you to that regular exercise if you're really serious about it! We are only about a 30 min walk from each other, if that!!!
I started a resolutions thread a week or so ago.
