Blinkin' Heck, it's 2012!

For the first time in my life, I’m starting the New Year and not dreading going back to work!

I work for myself (finally) and I’m so happy to be going back to work tomorrow.

We have so many exciting things planned with the theatre school and we have some amazing students coming to us, it’s just fab.

Have you made your New Years’ Resolutions?

Here are mine

1. Exercise more

I know most people make this one every year. Last January I fell in the snow and broke my wrist and being stuck at home with MTV and books for company, I slowly started to gain weight. Weight which I’ve struggled to get off… due to me doing very little exercise!

Mr Sally has a Wii Fit and he’s going to set it up for me. I intend to do at least 30mins every day.

2. Don’t spread myself too thinly

I’ve got this brilliant habit of agreeing to everything. I have this attitude that anything is possible, however, if you’re trying to make everything happen at once it doesn’t work and you end up letting people down. My new rule is to think before I agree to something and not to take on too much work.

3. Have some weekly ‘Me’ time

I know that sounds completely self-indulgent, however, since I started running a business it’s all I do.

I don’t have days off and if I do, I end up on my laptop working. Don’t get me wrong, I do it because I love it, but sometimes you need a break.

I am trying to make myself have one day a week where I don’t switch on my laptop and check emails (eek) and do something like sit and read for an afternoon etc.

4. Learn to bake and cook

It’s a standard joke in my family that I’m a rubbish cook and don’t really try.

Mr Sally usually does the cooking and I do the washing up.

But, I feel like I should make more effort and so, I’m teaching myself to bake and cook. I started on NYE and really enjoyed it.

We’ll see how I get on. I fully intend to enjoy every second of this year.

Happy New Year to you ALL x
