Blagghhh!!! Back to work blues!!
Ok, it’s back to work for most of us, the festivities are over and time to get organised and motivated! I have decided to make a couple of New Year resolutions,
1) To walk a lot more in 2008. Me and the labrador will increase our daily walk to round a bigger block, instead of the small one
2) Pay off the credit card! eeekk
3) Take packed lunch into work everyday, saving about £3.00 a day, £15 a week or £60 a month, £720 a year!!
4) Save enough for some essential repairs in our house.
5) Make more’ me time’, try and relax more. Eg: take long lush baths and listen to some chill out cd’s
6) Stay positve and focused
7) Plan and organise this years summer holiday, via the moneysaving travel board.( last year ’sloopy chops’ travel agent found us a great holiday in Spain for £400 for 10 days, half board on the sea front, including flights for three of us)
Do more work on my blog book :)
I have just been reading a couple of articles about banishing away those Winter/January blues, this one is good .dailyrecord.co.uk/ and don’t forget to plug in and switch those full spectrum light bulbs, so that it boosts your serotonin during the winter, when we don’t get enough natural sunlight
