docsquid Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I can't see one, so thought I'd start one. What have you resolved for 2010? My resolution is to do my best to reduce the food miles for our household to as little as possible by growing our own and using local producers and sellers where possible.

Cinnamon Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 To eat from the garden as much as we can & to use my freezer more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Ditto to the veg growing and local shopping. I made these my resolutions last year and both worked well plus I got a lot of enjoyment and exercise out of the veg growing. Need more freezer space though! I found that I saved money by shopping locally too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I intend to make more use of the veg garden. I want to grow lots more vegetables and fruit this year. I am a fair weather gardener so I need to buck up my ideas and get out there even if the weather is lousy. Preserve some of the fruit and vegetables I grow other than sticking them in the freezer. Learn to make soup. This one comes up every year and I try and try and every time I fail Use my bike more often to get me to work even in the wind and the rain. Do more crafty things. Finish off all the knitting projects I have on the go. Learn to use my sewing machine I have had for nearly a year. I need to find sewing classes locally.

docsquid Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Finish off all the knitting projects I have on the go. Yes, I think I should add that one to the list. I knitted 7 cardigans or sweaters last year when my leg was broken, but have only sewed together and finished off 3 of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 To lose weight and start on 5th Jan when go back to work and to spend less on food and keep a note of what I spend in a book to balance the books!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 This year I want to be more mindful of what I spend and think whether I really need/want something before I buy it. Hopefully I can also extend this to being more organised with the supermarket shop. Ultimately I want to spend less, accumulate less and throw less away... here's hoping!

theherd123 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I want to be healthy in 2010 as I cant remember the last time I felt well. I intend to get fit Say 'no' more often at work Dedicate more time to the vegy patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hmmm, lets see. I have lots of resolutions this year. First, to eat healthier. I don't want to lose weight, but I could do with looking after my body more. Second, step up on Zara's training (she's starting lessons on the 18th wooooo ) and third, when Zara is better trained, to get her a doglet pal. Oh, and I need to dedicate myself more to the veg patch this year (including the boring jobs ) and extend the duck run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickweed Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I must not view the All Things Nice section ever again. Too many recipes containing chocolate, butter, cream nuts etc, etc. Fabulous recipes but no good for the hips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
