January wrap up and February Resolutions

Well, January was a partial success!
Create: I managed to make a fabric purse from "Sew, La, Tea, Do" which is very cute. I also finished my kombi cross stitch as well as a smaller cross stitch for a friends birthday!
Move: I started strong on the gym front, then changed my resolution to 'exercise' rather than gym (we had good weather, who wants to be sweating it out in a stuffy gym when one could be out walking!). Unfortunately, I got a bit sick toward the end of the month and the wheels fell off.
Connect: We had Amy and Iliya round for a lovely night of risotto, wine, lemon curd tart and great conversation!
Eat: Hm, didn't really try much in the way of new recipes much, but I ate fairly well and packed lunches for myself a fair bit, which was a good start!
Work: Work has been decidedly slow, so while I managed to cut down on Facebook log-in's initially, I eventually caved through boredom! I did, however, clean out my emails and my inbox is looking much more tidy!
Finance: Again, failed here. I have decided that I am going to draft monthly budgets rather than an annual one. Some months are more expensive than others.
Home: I managed to get my dishes done before bed for, oh, I would say 90% of January. Pretty good effort!

February Resolutions!

Create: Make wrap skirt from "Sew, La, Tea, Do"
Move: -Go bike riding one day - Exercise 2 mornings a week - Exercise 3 evenings a week
Connect: Make contact with an old childhood friend who has recently had a baby.
Eat: - Photo project (take a photo of everything I eat for a week - I'll post the montage up here soon!)
Work: Finish the job application I currently have on the go. - Submit at least one other job application
Finance: Establish and stick to a monthly budget
Home: Clean dishes every night and clean sheets once a week (I know, sometimes we forget, gross huh!?)
