out with the old.

I can't believe it's now January.  Where did 2012 go?  Rather than just sitting here feeling mildly shellshocked, I've decided to look forward to what the new year has to offer...

• I go in for my *touch wood* final surgery on 26th January, so for the first five or so months of the year I'm going to be getting well acquainted with some physiotherapists and will become a physio machine.
• The boy and I are hoping to dip our toe in the home-owner pond in the Spring.
• I'm contemplating tackling a double bed sized quilt - I really miss the one I made last year, so I'd like to make one for myself.
• I've promised myself that I will read From Hell and Gormenghast.
• Hopefully this will be the year that I manage to contribute to the Crafty Photo Scavenger Hunt every month.
• I'm going to finally man up and wear in my DMs.
• I might be starting a post-grad professional diploma in the autumn - eek!
• My wardrobe really needs a good de-clutter.
• I really need to start writing again, even if it's just staying up to date with 'this week'.
• We need to do more gaming.
• I need to take Vera out to play more often.
• I'm going to be brave and try out a few recipes from the Wahaca cookbook.
• I want to start saving up to buy Persephone/Percy (a MNF Mirwen).
