A lot of these are things which I might do anyway, but I think that by having a list there might be more chance of me actually doing the stuff I want to do! I should mention that these aren't resolutions, they're just things I'd quite like to have a go at (although I acknowledge that some [especially 7] may not happen)
How about you, what would you like to do in the next year? Is there anything you'd like to do which isn't strictly a resolution but is a thing? (and no, I can't phrase that more eloquently!)

Good grief - you are going to be a Domestic Goddess before you are 23. I think you should review this policy because it is going to make the rest of us feel very inadequate.
ha ha! Number 7 was the one I thought 'no way'!
Good idea though... nice to have a list to focus on. Have you done this before?
Hmmmm, I'd like to learn what some of the buttons on my camera actually do ...
Just found your great blog - looking forward to a good old read through xx
