Happy new year!
Well this is my first blog post, so please forgive me if I do it wrong!
Don't really think I lead an exciting enough life for anyone to read this but I shall give it a go.
As it is the 1st of January, then I shall start with my resolutions (groan!).
1. To lose weight. Yes this one appears on my list every year yet I usually end the year heavier than I started it! However, this is the main reason for my blog - to mark my progress (please let there be progress!) and for you all to help keep me on the straight and narrow! lol
2. To try a new recipe once a week. This won't help me with resolution number 1 but I want to try new things and what better than homemade? It may be a cake or an evening meal. I just want to get out of the spag bol, chilli, shepherds pie, lasagne, etc meal rotas. I'm sure most mums will understand what I mean. This resolution is inspired by the film Julie & Julia which I watched at the cinema a few months ago. Although Julie tried at least one new recipe every day, I know that would be unachievable for me so 1 per week it is.
2. To get rid of my clutter! Again, this appears every year, but enough is enough and I feel I am drowning with all the boxes of my hoarding so I NEED to do this. It will be hard for me as I hate waste but if I can't Ebay it then I shall Freecycle it, give it to a charity shop, etc. There may even be some giveaways of my
Well I think that's enough to be getting on with so if you are still here, thanks for reading this far.
I'll try to post up some pics of some recent recipes and shabby chic finds later on as I know we all love piccies!
Happy 2010, I hope it's a good one!

Hi-I'm a new blogger too and this is a seriously impressive 1st post!
I'm with you on the need to sort out the clutter, but I'm always full of good intentions which never seem to materialise....
