Once again, before we all knew it, it was the end of the year. Story of my life.
Happy New Year! I've seen a lot of people make their New Year's Resolutions on Facebook and Twitter so I thought back to the little goals I set myself back in 2013. I don't really make resolutions, but I like to make a list of things I'd like to achieve by the end of the year and see how many I can cross off.
So I went back to my diary (oh yes, I keep one of these still) and was pleasantly surprised at how well I had done. I'd bought a new camera, been on holiday, visited London and Meadowhall (I'd never been, ok? I realise I'm literally the only person in the UK who has never been to Meadowhall) and had managed to generally have a good year. So I thought I'd share some of my goals for 2015 with you and maybe you can share some of yours with me.
- This year I want to get back in shape. Working full time has left me feeling frumpy and I've gained a whole dress size, so I would like to eat better, drink more water and exercise more, and who knows, maybe even lose a dress size or two.
- I'd also like to read more books. I think I only read a grand total of 8 or 9 last year, mostly because I had only just finished university and I felt like it was a little too soon to open a book again. Or ever. But I've found the joys of getting lost in a books again, so I want to make an effort to do it more often this year.
- Travel. I've already booked a long weekend in Budapest at the end of January but there are so many more places I want to see, both in England and abroad.
- Save more money. Stop spending on unneeded things in general really. My one true hobby.
- Blog more. I really enjoy blogging but I hardly do it. I guess I've had a valid excuse since my laptop broke back in November but I'm now the proud owner of a shiny new laptop and should really dedicate a little more time to this.
Have you made any resolutions or set yourselves any goals for the year? Or do you have tips about how to stick to your resolutions?

Congrats on your reaching your goals, and best of luck for this years ones. I too want to loose a dress size or two... okay, I want to loose 4. I want to travel A LOT more too, I am super jealous that you are going to Budapest at the end of January!
