Better late than never

So, the 2012 post.

Been meaning to do this for a while, but am just so tired lately. I fully expect this to be a half-assed attempt!

2011 was a mixed bag. I spent the year with my wonderful man and some lovely times with family and friends. I changed jobs in work and found something I really enjoy. I'm now a communications professional. Get me. We had a brilliant holiday in Paris and enjoyed spending time with each other, cuddled up at home. 

In crappier times, we were burgled while at home and we lost our dear kitten Clive. Both happened within weeks of each other. Just heartbreaking. I've been lucky in work, getting some temporary promotions, but G got his funding from university stopped. Cue money being tighter than we'd like, G working a shitty job, less time together, early mornings and late nights.

But I know we've been very lucky and have had a brilliant year compared to many.

I'm not one for new years resolutions, but this year I would like to set myself some goals for 2012. I may or may not stick to them, but I at least want to try!

Become Mrs Clews <3

Start saving for a mortgage

Continue eating better, no wheat, no dairy, no potatoes, no caffeine... just for the occasional treat

Learn some more languages. The Bear and I want to learn some more Welsh, German and Japanese

Do well in the courses I'm starting this year
Make more of an effort to speak properly and swear less

Try and exercise more, even if it's only once a week

Write more letters

Blog more!

If anyone sees me slacking on any of these, give me a kick! What are your goals for 2012?
