2013 Targets and Challenges!

Happy New Year everyone! Lets hope it's a good one!


So this year instead of making resolutions I am going to set myself some challenges:

1.  To read 4 books per month and review them on my blog
2.  To swim twice a week and enter the Marie Curie Swimathon in April
3.  To complete a 100 day spending ban starting 15th January 
4.  To pay my credit card off by the end of April
5.  To organise a family get together once a month
6.  To attend an evening class to learn something new

I will keep you all updated with how I get on!  

Did you make any resolutions? Leave me a link to your post!

      Thank you! I seem to have had a very positive response to the book reviews, hopefully I can recommend some good books over the next 12 months.
